This sheet provides brief operating instructions of the MICROSmart programmable controller. For details, see the FC6A Series MICROSmart User’s Manual.
Safety Precautions
Special expertise is required to use the MICROSmart.
- Read this instruction sheet and the user’s manual to make sure of correct operation before starting installation, wiring, operation, maintenance, and inspection of the MICROSmart. Keep this instruction sheet where it can be accessed by the end user.
- All MICROSmart modules are manufactured under IDEC’s rigorous quality control system, but users must add backup or failsafe provisions to control systems use the MICROSmart in applications where heavy damage or personal injury may be caused if the MICROSmart should fail.
- Install the MICROSmart according to the instructions described in this instruction sheet and the user’s manual. Improper installation will result in falling, failure, or malfunction of the MICROSmart.
- Make sure that the operating conditions are as described in the user’s manual. If you are uncertain about the specifications, contact IDEC before using the MICROSmart.
- In this instruction sheet, safety precautions are categorized in order of importance from Warning and Caution:
Warning notices are used to emphasize that improper operation may cause severe personal injury or death.
caution Caution notices are used where inattention might cause personal injury or damage to equipment. - Turn off the power to the MICROSmart before starting installation, removal, wiring, maintenance, or inspection on the MICROSmart. Failure to turn off the power may cause damage, electrical shocks or fire hazard.
- 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.
- SUITABLE FOR USE IN CLASS 1, DIVISION 2, GROUPS A,B,C AND D HAZARDOUS
CAUTION
- The MICROSmart is designed for installation in equipment. Do not install the MICROSmart outside of equipment.
- Install the MICROSmart in environments as described in the user’s manual. If the MICROSmart is usedin places where it is subjected to high-temperature, high-humidity, condensation, corrosive gases, excessive vibrations, or excessive shocks itwill result in electrical shocks, fire hazard, or malfunction.
- The environment rating for using the MICROSmart is “Pollution degree 2.”
- Prevent metal fragments and pieces of wire from dropping inside the MICROSmart housing. Ingress
- Use wires of a proper size to meet voltage and current requirements. Tighten terminal screws to the proper tightening torque. (Power supply Terminals: 0.51 N-m, Input Terminals and Output Terminals: 0.28 N-m)
- Use an IEC60127-approved fuse on the power line and output circuit to meet voltage and current requirements.(Recommended fuse: Littelfuse 5×20mm slow-blow type 218000 series/Type T) This is required when exporting equipment containing MICROSmart to Europe.
- Use an EU-approved circuit breaker. This is required when exporting equipment containing MICROSmart to Europe.
- If relays or transistors in the MICROSmart output modules should fail, outputs may remain on or off. For output signals which may cause heavy accidents, provide a monitor circuit outside of the MICROSmart.
