Attention
This product is designed for use in industrial applications.
Caution for EC Directive
The analog special adapters have been found to be compliant to the European
standards in the aforesaid manual and directive. However, for the very best per-
formance from what are in fact delicate measuring and controlled output device
Mitsubishi Electric would like to make the following points;
As analog devices are sensitive by nature, their use should be considered care-
fully. For users of proprietary cables (integral with sensors or actuators), these
users should follow those manufacturers installation requirements.
Mitsubishi Electric recommend that shielded cables should be used. If NO other
EMC protection is provided, then users may experience temporary loss or
accuracy between ±10 % in very heavy industrial areas.
However, Mitsubishi Electric suggest that if adequate EMC precautions are fol-
lowed for the users complete control system, users should expect accuracy as
specified in this manual.
• Sensitive analog cable should not be laid in the same trunking or cable
conduit as high voltage cabling. Where possible users should run analog
cables separately.
• Good cable shielding should be used. When terminating the shield at Earth
- ensure that no earth loops are accidentally created.
• When reading analog values, EMC accuracy can be improved out by
averaging the readings. This can be achieved either through functions on the
analog special adapters or through a users program.
