6EC Directives

• When using a thermocouple-input type Temperature Sensor Unit, observe the
following precautions:
• Do not remove the cold junction compensator attached at the time of deliv-
ery. If the cold junction compensator is removed the Unit will not be able to
measure temperatures correctly.
• Each of the input circuits is calibrated with the cold junction compensator
attached to the Unit. If the Unit is used with the cold junction compensator
from other Units, the Unit will not be able to measure temperatures cor-
rectly.
• Do not touch the cold junction compensator. Doing so may result in incor-
rect temperature measurement.
6 EC Directives
6-1 Applicable Directives
• EMC Directives
• Low Voltage Directive
6-2 Concepts
EMC Directives
OMRON devices that comply with EC Directives also conform to the related
EMC standards so that they can be more easily built into other devices or the
overall machine. The actual products have been checked for conformity to EMC
standards (see the following note). Whether the products conform to the stan-
dards in the system used by the customer, however, must be checked by the
customer.
EMC-related performance of the OMRON devices that comply with EC Direc-
tives will vary depending on the configuration, wiring, and other conditions of the
equipment or control panel on which the OMRON devices are installed. The cus-
tomer must, therefore, perform the final check to confirm that devices and the
overall machine conform to EMC standards.
Note Applicable EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards are as follows:
EMS (Electromagnetic Susceptibility): EN61131-2
EMI (Electromagnetic Interference): EN61000-6-4
(Radiated emission: 10-m regulations)
Low Voltage Directive
Always ensure that devices operating at voltages of 50 to 1,000 VAC and 75 to
1,500 VDC meet the required safety standards for the PC (EN61131-2).
6-3 Conformance to EC Directives
The CPM2A PCs comply with EC Directives. To ensure that the machine or de-
vice in which the CPM2A PC is used complies with EC directives, the PC must be
installed as follows:
1, 2, 3... 1. The CPM2A PC must be installed within a control panel.
2. Reinforced insulation or double insulation must be used for the DC power
supplies used for the communications and I/O power supplies.
3. CPM2A PCs complying with EC Directives also conform to the Common
Emission Standard (EN61000-6-4). Radiated emission characteristics
(10-m regulations) may vary depending on the configuration of the control
panel used, other devices connected to the control panel, wiring, and other
conditions. You must therefore confirm that the overall machine or equip-
ment complies with EC Directives.
