Part Names and Functions
Installation Conditions
Installation environment
• Installation this unit indoors.
• Do not install this unit in locations exposed to direct sunlight.
• Do not install this unit in locations in which there is corrosive gas or flammable gas.
• Do not install this unit in locations exposed to a lot of dust, soot, or steam.
• Do not install this unit in locations in which water, oil, or chemicals may splash onto the unit.
• When installing this unit in a location subject to vibration or impact, consider the
vibration proof mounting.
When installing this unit in a control console
• The ambient temperature for this unit should not exceed the upper temperature limit
(refer to the derating characteristic). When the upper temperature limit may be
exceeded, install a cooling fan or cooler so that the ambient temperature is below the
upper temperature limit.
• Leave a sufficient ventilation space around this unit for head dissipation.
• Do not install this unit just above a device with high head generation (transformer,
inverter, servo amplifier, etc.).
Installation
Space around the unit
The CA-U4 uses natural air-cooling. To ensure sufficient convection of air to dissipate
heat, provide enough space between the CA-U4 and the control panel or other nearby
devices as shown below.
Installation orientation
Install this unit with the base
down as shown below. Do not install the unit in any other
orientation.
Mounting bracket (optional)
Make sure that the tightening torque for the mounting screw holes of this unit is 0.5 N·m or less.
It indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
It indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or
moderate injury.
It indicates a situation which, if not avoided, could result in product damage as
well as property damage.
• Do not use this product for the purpose to protect a human body or part of
a human body.
• This product is not intended for use as an explosion-proof product. Do not
use this product in a hazardous location and/or potentially explosive
atmosphere.
• Do not perform any electrical wiring while electric current is applied.
Failure to follow this may result in an electric shock or fire.
• Be sure to connect the grounding cable. Failure to follow this may result
in an electric shock or fire.
• Do not touch this unit within 1 minute after AC input is turned off. Failure
to follow this may result in an electric shock.
• Do not modify or repair this unit. Failure to follow this may result in an
electric shock, accident, or product failure.
• Do not touch any terminal of this unit while electric current is applied. Use
the unit with the terminal cover installed to avoid an electric shock.
• When this unit is used in a system that may cause a serious accident or
damage if the unit fails, be sure to install a safety device.
• Pay attention to prevent foreign matter such as metal particles, dust,
paper or wood chips from entering the inside of this unit. Failure to follow
this may result in a fire or product failure.
• Do not touch any metallic part while electric current is applied or
immediately after input is shut off. Failure to follow this may result in a
burn due to a high temperature.
• If a failure or abnormality occurs while this unit is in use, immediately turn
off AC input and stop operation of this unit . Failure to follow this may
result in a fire or accident.
• Check that the AC input rated voltage of this unit is equal to the voltage of
the AC power supply.
• Do not connect the AC power supply to the DC output terminals.
• Do not disturb the convection of air near the vent of the casing.
