This section explains how to install and set up your Control System, with spe-
cifics on the proper environment, actual mounting, applicable cable, wiring,
and switch settings.
2–2 Installation Environment
Although the K–Type Programmable Controller is quite durable, the following
conditions must be observed in order for your System to operate at its high-
est level of reliability.
Ambient temperature Operating: 0° to 55°C*
Storage: –20 to 65
°C
Humidity 35% to 85% RH (without condensation)
Must be free from the following:
• Corrosive gases
• Abrupt temperature changes
• Direct sunlight
Atmosphere
• Concentration of dust, salt, iron particles
• Splatter from water, oil, other chemicals
Vibration and shock Must not receive direct impact or vibration
*The ambient operating temperature for the Programming Console is 05 to 455
CAUTION
In low humidity conditions, excessive static electricity of over 8 KV can dam-
age internal components such as ICs. Therefore, before touching the PC, be
sure to first touch a grounded metallic object to discharge any static electric-
ity buildup.
Noise Prevention Use twisted pair cables with cross–sectional areas of at least 2 mm
2
/conduc-
tor (AGW 14) to prevent noise. Avoid mounting the PC close to high–power
equipment, and be sure to mount it at least 200 mm away from power lines.
Wherever possible, use wiring ducts to contain and protect the PC wiring.
The I/O wiring should not be placed in the same duct with the power line or
other wiring. Standard wiring conduits are sufficient as long as the I/O wiring
and power lines are kept separate.
