Requirement for Compliance with LVD directive
The following products have shown compliance through direct
testing (of the identified standards below) and design analysis
(through the creation of a technical construction file) to the European
Directive for Low Voltage (73/23/EEC) when used as directed by the
appropriate documentation.

Caution for compliance with EC Directive
Installation in Enclosure
Programmable logic controllers are open-type devices that must be
installed and used within conductive control boxes. Please use the
FX3U Series programmable logic controllers while installed in
conductive shielded control boxes. Please secure the control box lid
to the control box (for conduction). Installation within a control box
greatly affects the safety of the system and aids in shielding noise
from the programmable logic controller.
Caution for Analog Products in use
The analog special adapters have been found to be compliant to the
European standards in the aforesaid manual and directive. However,
for the very best performance from what are in fact delicate
measuring and controlled output device Mitsubishi Electric would like
to make the following points;
As analog devices are sensitive by nature, their use should be
considered carefully. For users of proprietary cables (integral with
sensors or actuators), these users should follow those
manufacturers installation requirements.
Mitsubishi Electric recommend that shielded cables should be used.
If NO other EMC protection is provided, then users may experience
temporary induced errors not exceeding +10%/-10% in very heavy
industrial areas.
However, Mitsubishi Electric suggest that if adequate EMC
precautions are followed with general good EMC practice for the
users complete control system, users should expect normal errors
as specified in this manual.
- Sensitive analog cable should not be laid in the same trunking
or cable conduit as high voltage cabling. Where possible users
should run analog cables separately.
- Good cable shielding should be used. When terminating the
shield at Earth - ensure that no earth loops are accidentally
created.
- When reading analog values, EMC induced errors can be
smoothed out by averaging the readings. This can be achieved
either through functions on the analog special adapter/block or
through a users program in the FX3U Series PLC main unit.
Associated manuals
FX3U Series PLC (main unit) comes with this document (hardware
manual).
For a detailed explanation of the FX3U Series hardware and
information on instructions for PLC programming and special
extension unit/block, refer to the relevant documents.
How to obtain manuals
For the necessary product manuals or documents, consult with the
Mitsubishi Electric dealer from where you purchase your product.
