SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

(Read these precautions before use.)

Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals introduced in this manual carefully and pay full

attention to safety in order to handle the product correctly.

This manual classifies the safety precautions into two categories: [ WARNING] and [ CAUTION].

Depending on the circumstances, procedures indicated by [ CAUTION] may also cause severe injury.

It is important to follow all precautions for personal safety.

Store this manual in a safe place so that it can be read whenever necessary. Always forward it to the end user.

[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]

WARNING

●Make sure to set up the following safety circuits outside the tension controller to ensure safe system

operation even during external power supply problems or tension controller failure. Otherwise,

malfunctions may cause serious accidents.

- Note that when an error occurs in a relay or transistor of an output circuit, the output might stay on

or off. For output signals that may lead to serious accidents, external circuits and mechanisms

should be designed to ensure safe machinery operation in such a case.

●Most importantly, set up the following: an emergency stop circuit, a protection circuit, an interlock

circuit for opposite movements (such as normal vs. reverse rotation), and an interlock circuit (to

prevent damage to the equipment at the upper and lower torque limits and upper and lower tension

limits).

●In an output circuit, when a load current exceeding the current rating or an overcurrent caused by a

load short-circuit flows for a long time, it may cause smoke and fire. To prevent this, configure an

external safety circuit, such as a fuse.

●For the operating status of each station after a communication failure of the network, refer to relevant

manuals for the network. Incorrect output or malfunction may result in an accident.

CAUTION

●If a power failure or an abnormal voltage drop occurs, the tension controller stops, and output is

turned off.

WARNING Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in

death or severe injury.

CAUTION Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in

minor or moderate injury or property damage.

[INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS]

[POWER SUPPLY WIRING PRECAUTIONS]

WARNING

●Make sure to cut off all phases of the power supply externally before attempting installation or wiring

work. Failure to do so may cause electric shock or damage to the product.

●Use the product within the generic environment specifications described in LE7-40GU-L

APPLICATION MANUAL (SH-170022ENG). Never use the product in areas with excessive dust, oily

smoke, conductive dusts, corrosive gas (salt air, Cl2, H2S, SO2or NO2), flammable gas, vibration or

impacts, or expose it to high temperature, condensation, or rain and wind. If the product is used in

such conditions, electric shock, fire, malfunctions, deterioration or damage may occur.

CAUTION

●Do not touch the conductive parts of the product directly. Doing so may cause device failures or

malfunctions.

●Always wear an anti-static wristband and discharge static electricity from the body before handling the

extension option. Failure to do so may cause the extension option to fail or malfunction.

●When drilling screw holes or wiring, make sure that cutting and wiring debris do not enter the

ventilation slits of the tension controller. Failure to do so may cause fire, equipment failures or

malfunctions.

●For the product supplied together with a dust proof sheet, the sheet should be affixed to the ventilation

slits before installation and wiring work to prevent foreign objects such as cutting and wiring debris.

However, when the installation work is completed, make sure to remove the sheet to provide

adequate ventilation.

●Install the product on a flat surface. If the mounting surface is rough, undue force will be applied to the

PC board, thereby causing nonconformities.

●Install the product securely using mounting screws or fixtures.

●Connect the extension options securely to their designated connectors. Loose connections may

cause malfunctions.

●Make sure to affix the extension option with tapping screws. Tightening torque should follow the

specifications in the manual. If the screws are tightened outside of the specified torque range, poor

connections may cause malfunctions.

●Work carefully when using a screwdriver such as installation of the product. Failure to do so may

cause damage to the product or accidents.

●Connect the input/output cables and power cable securely to their designated connectors. Loose

connections may cause malfunctions.

●Turn off the power to the tension controller before attaching or detaching the optional devices. Failure

to do so may cause equipment failures or malfunctions.

CAUTION

●Use an online UPS (uninterruptible power supply) with a power distortion factor of 5% or less or a line

interactive UPS. If a standby UPS is used, use a Mitsubishi low-capacity UPS "FREQUPS FW-F

series" (hereinafter FW-F series). (Example: FWF10-0.3K/0.5K)

[WIRING PRECAUTIONS]

[STARTUP AND MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS]

WARNING

●Make sure to cut off all phases of the power supply externally before attempting installation or wiring

work. Failure to do so may cause electric shock or damage to the product.

●Make sure to properly wire to the terminal block (Spring clamp type) in accordance with the following

precautions. Failure to do so may cause electric shock, equipment failures, a short-circuit, wire

breakage, malfunctions, or damage to the product.

- The disposal size of the cable end should follow the dimensions described in the manual.

- Twist the ends of stranded wires and make sure that there are no loose wires.

- Do not solder-plate the electric wire ends.

- Do not connect more than the specified number of wires or electric wires of unspecified size.

- Affix the electric wires so that neither the terminal block nor the connected parts are directly

stressed.

CAUTION

●Perform class D grounding (grounding resistance: 100 or less) of the grounding terminal on the

tension controller with a wire 0.2 to 1.5 mm2. Do not use common grounding with heavy electrical

systems.

●Connect the power supply wiring to the dedicated terminals described in this manual. If an AC power

supply is connected to a DC input/output terminal or DC power supply terminal, the tension controller

will burn out.

●Do not wire vacant terminals externally. Doing so may damage the product.

●Install module so that excessive force will not be applied to terminal blocks, power wire, or

communication cables. Failure to do so may result in wire damage/breakage or tension controller

failure.

●Make sure to observe the following precautions in order to prevent any damage to the machinery or

accidents due to malfunction of the tension controller due to the effects of noise.

- Do not bundle the power line and communication cables together with or lay them close to the

main circuit, high-voltage line, load line or power line. As a guideline, lay the power line, control

line and communication cables at least 100 mm away from the main circuit, high-voltage line, load

line or power line.

- Ground the shield of the shielded wire or shielded cable at one point on the tension controller.

However, do not use common grounding with heavy electrical systems.
