• When transporting the Unit, use special packing boxes and protect it from
being exposed to excessive vibration or impacts during transportation.
• Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify any Units.

Concepts
OMRON units complying with EC Directives also conform to related product
standards making them easier to incorporate in other units or machines. The
actual products have been checked for conformity to product standards.
Whether the products conform to the standards in the system used by the
customer, however, must be checked by the customer.
Product related performance of OMRON units complying with EC Directives
will vary depending on the configuration, wiring, and other conditions of the
equipment or control panel in which OMRON devices are installed. The cus-
tomer must, therefore, perform final checks to confirm that units and the over-
all system conforms to product standards.
A Declaration of Conformity for the PROFIBUS-DP Gateway Unit can be
requested at your nearest OMRON representative.

Conformance to EC Directives
PROFIBUS units should be installed as follows, for the complete configuration
to meet the EC directives:
1,2,3...
1.
The units are designed for installation inside control panels. All units must
be installed within control panels.
2.
Use reinforced insulation or double insulation for the DC power supplies
used for the communications power supply, internal circuit power supply,
and the I/O power supplies.
3.
The PROFIBUS-DP Gateway product meets the generic emission stan-
dard. However as EMC performance can vary in the final installation, ad-
ditional measures may be required to meet the standards. It should
therefore be verified that the overall machine or device also meets the rel-
evant standards. You must therefore confirm that EC directives are met for
the overall machine or device, particularly for the radiated emission re-
quirement (10 m).
