Handling Precautions - Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC iQ-R Series Configuration Manual

Handling precautions

• Connect an extension cable to the base unit with the extension connector cover.
• When an extension cable is connected, keep 55mm or more as the minimum bending radius for the cable. Failure to do so
may result in malfunction because of the characteristic deterioration or disconnection.
• Keep the overall cable distance within 20m in total length of extension cables. When MELSEC-Q series extension cables
are used, keep the overall cable distance within 13.2m in total length of a MELSEC iQ-R series extension cables and the
MELSEC-Q series extension cables.
• Do not install extension cables together with the main circuit lines (high voltage and large current).
• For an extension cable, hold the connector part of the cable. Holding a ferrite core installed at both ends of the extension
cable may cause the cable disconnection inside the connector.
• Do not displace the ferrite core when the extension cable is used. Doing so may change the characteristics.
• Do not connect a ten-meter extension cable (RC100B) to a base unit that the 10m mark is not printed on its extension
connector cover. Connecting them may cause an error.
