PACKAGE INCLUDES...

LAN cable connected to the protected device
(Compatible cable with CC-Link IE Field Network, 0.5 meters)

APPLICABLE NETWORK

Applicable network: CC-Link IE Field Network
Applicable cable: Compatible cable wiith CC-Link IE Field Network

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

Connection
Network: RJ-45 modular jack
Grounding: M3 screw terminal (torque 0.6 N·m)
or via DIN rail
Screw terminal: Nickel-plated brass
Housing material: Flame-resistant resin (black)

INSTALLATION

Operating temperature: -25 to +85°C (-13 to +185°F)
Operating humidity: 10 to 90 %RH (non-condensing)
Mounting: DIN Rail (TH35-7.5, 1-mm-thick)
When this unit is earthed via a DIN rail, use a steel or copper rail. Oxide film on the surface of an aluminium rail may lower the electric conductivity between this module and the ground.

STANDARDS & APPROVALS

EU conformity:
EMC Directive
EMI EN 61000-6-4
EMS EN 61000-6-2
RoHS Directive

CONNECTION EXAMPLES

• Install the lightning surge protectors in places where it is considered that lightning surge may enter (where panels/cabinets are greatly separated, such as outdoor wiring).
• The maximum number of surge protectors that can be installed between devices is two (2). Take into account insertion loss 1 dB per surge protector as a rough indication.
• Refer to "CC-Link IE Field Network Cable Installation Manual” issued by CC-Link Partner Association for details.
