8 Installation In Enclosure

8.1 Installation location

FX3G Series Programmable Controllers

User's Manual - Hardware Edition

8.1 Installation location

Use the PLC under the environmental conditions complying with the generic specifications (Chapter 4).

8.1.1 Installation location in enclosure

Notes

• Keep a space of 50 mm (1.97") away between the unit main body and other devices and structure.

Install the unit as far away as possible from high-voltage lines, high-voltage devices and power equipment.

• To prevent temperature rise, do not install the PLC on a floor or a ceiling or in the vertical direction.

Install it horizontally on a wall as shown below.

• Arrange the extension cable in such a way that the left connectors of the input/output powered extension units/blocks or special

function units/blocks are connected on the side closer to the main unit.
