• Read this user’s manual to make sure of correct operation before starting installation, wiring, operation, maintenance, and
inspection of the MicroSmart AS-Interface master module.
• All MicroSmart AS-Interface master modules are manufactured under IDEC’s rigorous quality control system, but users
must add a backup or failsafe provision to the control system using the MicroSmart AS-Interface master module in appli-
cations where heavy damage or personal injury may be caused in case the MicroSmart AS-Interface master module should
fail.
• In this user’s manual, safety precautions are categorized in order of importance to Warning and Caution:
• Turn off the power to the MicroSmart before starting installation, removal, wiring, maintenance, and inspection of the
MicroSmar t AS-Interface master module. Failure to turn power off may cause electrical shocks or fire hazard.
• Special expertise is required to install, wire, program, and operate the MicroSmart AS-Interface master module. People
without such expertise must not use the MicroSmart AS-Interface master module.
• Emergency stop and interlocking circuits must be configured outside the MicroSmart . If such a circuit is configured inside
the MicroSmart , failure of the MicroSmart may cause disorder of the control system, damage, or accidents.
• Install the MicroSmart AS-Interface master module according to the instructions described in this user’s manual. Improper
installation will result in falling, failure, or malfunction of the MicroSmart AS-Interface master module.
• The MicroSmart AS-Interface master module is designed for installation in a cabinet. Do not install the MicroSmart AS-
Interface master module outside a cabinet.
• Install the MicroSmart AS-Interface master module in environments described in this user’s manual. If the MicroSmart
AS-Interface master module is used in places where the MicroSmart AS-Interface master module is subjected to high-tem-
perature, high-humidity, condensation, corrosive gases, excessive vibrations, and excessive shocks, then electrical shocks,
fire hazard, or malfunction will result.
• The environment for using the MicroSmart AS-Interface master module is “Pollution degree 2.” Use the MicroSmart AS-
Interface master module in environments of pollution degree 2 (according to IEC 60664-1).
• Prevent the MicroSmart AS-Interface master module from falling while moving or transporting the MicroSmart AS-Inter-
face master module, otherwise damage or malfunction of the MicroSmart AS-Interface master module will result.
• Prevent metal fragments and pieces of wire from dropping inside the MicroSmart AS-Interface master module housing.
Put a cover on the MicroSmart AS-Interface master module during installation and wiring. Ingress of such fragments and
chips may cause fire hazard, damage, or malfunction.
• Use a power supply of the rated value. Use of a wrong power supply may cause fire hazard.
• Use an IEC 60127-approved fuse on the power line outside the MicroSmart . This is required when equipment containing
the MicroSmart is destined for Europe.
• Use an IEC 60127-approved fuse on the output circuit. This is required when equipment containing the MicroSmar t is des-
tined for Europe.
• Use an EU-approved circuit breaker. This is required when equipment containing the MicroSmart is destined for Europe.
• Make sure of safety before starting and stopping the MicroSmart or when operating the MicroSmart to force outputs on or
off. Incorrect operation on the MicroSmart may cause machine damage or accidents.
• Do not connect the ground wire directly to the MicroSmart . Connect a protective ground to the cabinet containing the
MicroSmart using an M4 or larger screw. This is required when equipment containing the MicroSmart is destined for
Europe.
• Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the MicroSmart modules.
• When disposing of the MicroSmart modules, do so as an industrial waste.
Warning
Warning notices are used to emphasize that improper operation may cause
severe personal injury or death.
Caution
