WARNING

WARNING

Meaning of Signal Words

Alert Statements

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if 
not avoided, will result in minor or moderate injury, 
or may result in serious injury or death. Additionally 
there may be significant property damage.

Observe the following precautions to ensure safety.
(1) Transportation

•  The Reader/Writer may be damaged it if falls from a high location. 

When you transport Reader/Writers, do not stack them too high.

•  Injury may occur if the Reader/Writer falls. Do not let the 

Reader/Writer fall when you carry it.

(2)  Installation and Removal

•  Use slip-resistant gloves when you install the Reader/Writer and 

hold the Reader/Writer securely at the depressions with both 
hands.

(3) Wiring

•  The Reader/Writer may be damaged. Wire it correctly.
•  The cables may break. Confirm cable specifications and do not 

bend cables past their normal bending radius.

•  The Reader/Writer may be damaged. Never use an AC power supply.
•  Connect the Ethernet cable to a host device (e.g., Switching 

Hub or PLC) that supports STP and ground the host device to a 
ground resistance of 100 

Ω

 or less.

(4) Usage

•  The communications range depends on the operating and 

installation environment. Use the Reader/Writer only after 
sufficiently testing operation onsite.

•  If multiple Reader/Writers are installed near each other, 

communications distances may decrease due to mutual 
interference. Refer to Reader/Writer Mutual Interference 
(Reference Data) in the appendices to the user’s manual 
 and 
check to make sure there is no mutual interference between 
Reader/Writers.

(5)  Errors and Failures

•  If an error is detected in the Reader/Writer, immediately stop 

operation and turn OFF the power supply. Consult with an 
OMRON representative.

(6) Maintenance

•  Using thinner, benzene, acetone, or kerosene may adversely 

affect the plastic parts and case coating. Refer to Chemical 
Resistance of the Reader/Writer in the appendices to the user’s 
manual 
and do not use chemicals that would have a negative 
effect.

(7) Disposal

•  Dispose of the Reader/Writer as industrial waste.

Always observe the following precautions to prevent operation failures, 
malfunctions, and adverse effects on the Reader/Writer.
(1) Transportation

•  Always use the packing box that comes with the Reader/Writer when 

you transport it, and do not subject it to excessive vibration or shock.

(2) Installation

•  After you tighten the bolts, make sure that the Reader/Writer is 

securely attached.

(3)  Installation and Storage Environment

Do not use or store the Reader/Writer in the following locations.

•  Locations subject to combustible gases, explosive gases, 

corrosive gases, dust, dirt, metal powder, salt, or oil

•  Locations where the specified ambient temperature or ambient 

humidity range is exceeded

•  Locations subject to extreme temperature changes that may 

result in condensation

•  Locations where the Reader/Writer would be directly subjected 

to vibration or shock exceeding specifications

•  Locations subject to water exposure that exceeds the specifications

(4) Storage Methods

•  Injury or damage may occur if the Reader/Writer falls. Implement 

safety measures so that the Reader/Writer will not fall.

(5) Wiring

•  To use the Reader/Writer in RUN mode, connect the control signal 

to the +24V of the power supply. If you connect the control signal to 
the 0-V side of the power supply, the Reader/Writer will start in 
Safe Mode.

•  The Reader/Writer may be destroyed. Do not exceed the rated 

voltage range.

(6) Usage

•  The Reader/Writer may fail if it is used with a damaged cable. Do not 

subject the cable to strong forces or place heavy objects on the cable.

•  Observe the tightening torque specifications for the power supply 

and communications connectors.

•  The Reader/Writer may fail if heat cannot be dissipated sufficiently. 

Ensure that heat can be dissipated around the Reader/Writer.

•  Do not use the Reader/Writer outdoors.
•  Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the Reader/Writer.

(7) Maintenance

•  Perform inspections both daily and periodically.
•  The Reader/Writer may fail if it or its wiring is replaced while the 

power supply is ON. Always turn OFF the power supply before 
you replace the Reader/Writer or its wiring.

The product must be professionally installed if it is installed in 
high location.

Injury may occur if the Reader/Writer falls and strikes a 
person. Observe the following precautions when installing the 
Reader/Writer.
•  Do not install if there are persons below the product.
•  Observe the recommended tightening torque for bolts.

*

1.  An M6 bolt engagement length of 6 to 8 mm is necessary for 

rear mounting.
The bolts may be hard to tighten. Tighten them to the 
recommended tightening torque.
