Safety Precautions
This section provides important precautions that must be observed in ladder programming. Before you start to program,
carefully read all of this manual and all other provided manuals and make sure that you program the MP2000-series
Machine Controller correctly. You must be completely familiar with the MP2000-series Machine Controllers, safety
information, and all safety precautions before you attempt to use the Machine Controller.
Storage and Transportation
Other General Precautions
If disinfectants or insecticides must be used to treat packing materials such as wooden frames, pallets, or
plywood, the packing materials must be treated before the product is packaged, and methods other than
fumigation must be used.
Example: Heat treatment, where materials are kiln-dried to a core temperature of 56
°C for 30 minutes or
more.
If the electronic products, which include stand-alone products and products installed in machines, are packed with
fumigated wooden materials, the electrical components may be greatly damaged by the gases or fumes resulting from
the fumigation process. In particular, disinfectants containing halogen, which includes chlorine, fluorine, bromine, or
iodine can contribute to the erosion of the capacitors.
Observe the following general precautions to ensure safe application.
