STARTUP AND
MAINTENANCE
PRECAUTIONS
Before cleaning or retightening terminals, cut off all phases of
the power supply externally.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock.
Before modifying or disrupting the program in operation or
running the PLC, carefully read through this manual and the
associated manuals and ensure the safety of the operation.
An operation error may damage the machinery or cause
accidents.
Do not change the program in the PLC from two or more
peripheral equipment devices at the same time. (i.e. from a
programming tool and a GOT)
Doing so may cause destruction or malfunction of the PLC
program.
Use the battery for memory backup correctly in FX
User's Manual - Hardware Edition.
- Use the battery only for the specified purpose.
- Connect the battery correctly.
- Do not charge, disassemble, heat, put in fire, short-circuit,
connect reversely, weld, swallow or burn the battery, or apply
excessive forces (vibration, impact, drop, etc.) to the battery.
- Do not store or use the battery at high temperatures or
expose to direct sunlight.
- Do not expose to water, bring near fire or touch liquid
3U
leakage or other contents directly.
- Incorrect handling of the battery may cause heat excessive
generation, bursting, ignition, liquid leakage or deformation,
and lead to injury, fire or failures and malfunctions of facilities
and other equipment.
- When replacing the battery, make sure to use our specified
product (FX
3U
-32BL).
- When a battery error occurs ("BATT" LED is lit in red), follow

memory cassette. If the memory cassette is attached or
detached while the PLC's power is on, the data in the memory
may be destroyed, or the memory cassette may be damaged.
Do not disassemble or modify the PLC.
Doing so may cause fire, equipment failures, or malfunctions.
For repair, contact your local Mitsubishi Electric distributor.
Turn off the power to the PLC before connecting or
disconnecting any extension cable.
Failure to do so may cause equipment failures or malfunctions.
Turn off the power to the PLC before attaching or detaching the
following devices.
Failure to do so may cause equipment failures or malfunctions.
- Display module, peripheral devices, expansion boards, and
special adapters
- Connector conversion adapter, extension blocks, and FX
Series terminal blocks
- Battery and memory cassette
Do not use the chemicals for cleaning.
If there is the possibility of touching the PLC inside a control
panel in maintenance, make sure to discharge to avoid the
influence of static electricity.
Since there are risks such as burn injuries, please do not touch
the surface of the equipment with bare hands when it is
operating
in
an
environment
which
temperature of 50°C.
TRANSPORTATION
AND STORAGE
PRECAUTIONS
Please contact a certified electronic waste disposal company
for the environmentally safe recycling and disposal of your
device.
When disposing of batteries, separate them from other waste
according to local regulations.
(For details of the Battery Directive in EU countries, refer to
FX
Series User's Manual - Hardware Edition.)
3U
Before transporting the PLC, turn on the power to the PLC to
check that the BATT LED is off.
If the PLC is transported with the BATT LED on or the battery
exhausted, the battery-backed data may be unstable during
transportation.
The PLC is a precision instrument. During transportation, avoid
3U
Series
impacts larger than those specified in Section 2.1 by using
dedicated packaging boxes and shock-absorbing palettes.
Failure to do so may cause failures in the PLC.
After transportation, verify operation of the PLC and check for
damage of the mounting part, etc.
When transporting lithium batteries, follow required
transportation regulations.
(For details of the regulated products, refer to FX
User's Manual - Hardware Edition.)
