2.1 General installation procedure

Mount the unit and connect the PLC and all communication cables before you turn on the

power supply.

• Perform the installation with the power turned off.

• Before touching the unit or equipment, always touch some grounded metal to discharge

any static electricity you may have generated (especially in dry locations). The discharge

of static electricity can damage parts and equipment.
