Installation Environment, Procedure and Precautions

Do not install your HSC modules if any of the following conditions

ATTENTION
are present:
• Ambient temperature out of the range of 0 to 55 °C (32 to 131 °F)
• Direct sunlight
• Humidity out of the range of 30% to 85% (non-condensing)
• Chemicals that may affect electronic parts
• Excessive or conductive dust, or salinity
• High voltage, strong magnetic fields, or strong electromagnetic
influences
• Direct impact and excessive vibration

17
Installing a HSC Module on a PLC System:
1. Wire I/O cables to the terminal block.
2. Turn on the power connected to the HSC module.
3. Turn on the main PLC power.

Removing a HSC Module from a PLC System

1. Turn off the main PLC power.
2. Turn off the power to the HSC module.
3. Remove the wirings from the terminal block.

ATTENTION
Precautions for Electrostatic Discharges
Excessive static electricity can be generated in dry conditions, so
please make sure to discharge electrostatic charges by touching a
grounded metal bar before contacting the module.

ATTENTION Contacting the Module

Do not use thinners, which can damage or degrade PCB circuit
board.
