5Application Precautions
xiv
• Do not apply voltages to the Input Units in excess of the rated input voltage.
Excess voltages may result in burning.
• Do not apply voltages or connect loads to the Output Units in excess of the
maximum
 switching capacity
. Excess voltages or loads may result in
 burning.
• Disconnect
 the functional ground terminal when
 performing withstand voltage
tests.
 Not disconnecting the functional ground terminal may result in burning.
• Be sure that all the mounting screws, terminal screws, and cable connector
screws
 are tightened to the torque specified in the
 relevant manuals. Incorrect
tightening torque may result in malfunction.
• Leave
 the label attached to
 the Unit when wiring. Removing the label may re
-
sult in malfunction if foreign matter enters the Unit.
• Remove
 the label after the completion of wiring to ensure proper heat dissipa
-
tion. Leaving the label attached may result in malfunction.
• Use
 crimp terminals for wiring. Do not connect bare stranded wires directly to
terminals. Connection of bare stranded wires may result in burning.
• Wire all connections correctly.
• Double-check
 all wiring and switch settings before turning ON the power sup
-
ply. Incorrect wiring may result in burning.
• Be
 sure that the terminal blocks, Memory
 Units, expansion cables, and other
items with locking devices are properly locked into place. Improper locking
may result in malfunction.
• Check
 the user program for proper execution before actually running it on the
Unit. Not checking the program may result in an unexpected operation.
• Confirm
 that no adverse ef
fect will occur in the system before attempting any of
the following. Not doing so may result in an unexpected operation.
• Changing the operating mode of the PC.
• Force-setting/force-resetting any bit in memory.
• Changing the present value of any word or any set value in memory.
• Resume
 operation only after transferring to the new CPU Unit the contents of
the DM Area, HR Area, and other data required for resuming operation. Not
doing so may result in an unexpected operation.
• Do
 not pull on the cables or bend the cables beyond their natural limit.
 Doing
either of these may break the cables.
• Do
 not place objects on top of the cables or other wiring lines. Doing so may
break the cables.
• When
 replacing parts, be sure to confirm that the
 rating of a new part is correct.
Not doing so may result in malfunction or burning.
• Before
 touching a Unit, be sure to first touch a
 grounded metallic object in order
to
 discharge any
 static built-up. Not doing so may result in malfunction or dam
-
age.
• Install the Units properly as specified in the operation manuals. Improper
installation of the Units may result in malfunction.
