z Do not bunch the control wires or communication cables with
the main circuit or power wires, or lay them close to each other.
As a guide, separate the lines by a distance of at least 100 mm
(3.94 inch) otherwise malfunctions may occur due to noise.
z Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used
by the system before mounting or removing this unit to/from the
GOT.
Not doing so can cause a unit failure or malfunction.
z Before connecting the Bus connection cable to this unit, always
shut off GOT power and PLC CPU power externally in all
phases.Not doing so can cause a malfunction.
z Use this unit in the environment given in the general
specifications of the GT15 User's Manual.Not doing so can
cause an electric shock, fire, malfunction or product damage or
deterioration.
z When installing this unit to the GOT, fit it to the connection
interface of the GOT and tighten the mounting screws in the
specified torque range.
Undertightening can cause a drop, failure or malfunction.
Overtightening can cause a drop, failure or malfunction due to
screw or unit damage.
z Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used
by the system before wiring.
Failure to do so may result in an electric shock, product damage
or malfunctions.
z Use crimp-contact, pressure-displacement or soldering to wire
the connectors for external connections properly using the
manufacturer-specified tools.
If the connection is incomplete, it may cause the module to short
circuit, catch fire, or malfunction.
z Connect the connectors to the unit securely.
z Always secure the cables connected to the unit, e.g. run them in
conduits or clamp them.
Not doing so can cause unit or cable damage due to dangling,
moved or accidentally pulled cables or can cause a malfunction
due to a cable contact fault.
z Before starting cleaning, always shut off GOT power externally
in all phases. Not doing so can cause a unit failure or
malfunction.

Product Componets
The serial commnunication units consists of the following items.
* For handling of the ferrite core, refer to "For users intending to
connect the GOT directly to a PLC using the RS-422 cable
(GT01-C30R4-25P)" provided with the product.
z Do not disassemble or modify any unit.
This will cause failure, malfunction, injuries, or fire.
z Do not touch the conductive areas and electronic parts of this
unit directly.
Doing so can cause a unit malfunction or failure.
z Exercise care to avoid foreign matter such as chips and wire
offcuts entering the unit.
Not doing so can cause a fire, failure or malfunction.
z Do not hold the cable part when unplugging any cable
connected to the unit. Doing so can cause unit or cable damage
or a malfunction due to a cable contact fault.
z Always make sure to touch the grounded metal to discharge the
electricity charged in the body, etc., before touching the unit.
Failure to do so may cause a failure or malfunctions of the unit.
z Dispose of this product as industrial waste.
z Make sure to transport the GOT main unit and/or relevant unit(s)
in the manner they will not be exposed to the impact exceeding
the impact resistance described in the general specifications of
the GT15 User's Manual, as they are precision devices.
Failure to do so may cause the unit to fail.
Check if the unit operates correctly after transportation.
