PRECAUTIONS FOR USE OF THE DRIVE UNIT
Data line filter
Data line filter is effective as an EMC measure. Provide a data line filter for the detector cable, etc.

Measures
(1)(2)(3)
When devices that handle low-level signals and are liable to malfunction due to electromagnetic noises, e.g. instruments,
receivers and sensors, are contained in the enclosure that contains the drive unit or when their signal cables are run near
the drive unit, the devices may malfunction due to air-propagated electromagnetic noises. The following measures must be
taken:
Install easily affected devices as far away as possible from the drive unit.
Run easily affected signal cables as far away as possible from the drive unit and its I/O cables.
Do not run the signal cables and power cables (drive unit I/O cables) in parallel with each other and do not bundle them.
Insert common mode filters into I/O and capacitors between the input lines to suppress cable-radiated noises.
Use shield cables as signal cables and power cables and run them in individual metal conduits to produce further
effects.
(4)(5)(6)
When the signal cables are run in parallel with or bundled with the power cables, magnetic and static induction noises may
be propagated to the signal cables which cause the devices to malfunction and the following measures must be taken:
Install easily affected devices as far away as possible from the drive unit.
Run easily affected signal cables as far away as possible from the I/O cables of the drive unit.
Do not run the signal cables and power cables (drive unit I/O cables) in parallel with each other and do not bundle them.
Use shield cables as signal cables and power cables and run them in individual metal conduits to produce further
effects.
(7)
When the power supplies of the peripheral devices are connected to the power supply of the drive unit in the same line,
drive unit-generated noises may flow back through the power supply cables to malfunction the devices and the following
measures must be taken:
Install the common mode filter (FR-BLF, FR-BSF01) to the power cables (output cable) of the drive unit.
(8)
When a closed loop circuit is formed by connecting the peripheral device wiring to the drive unit, leakage currents may flow
through the earthing cable of the drive unit to malfunction the device. In such a case, disconnection of the earthing cable of
the device may cause the device to operate properly.
REMARKS
For compliance with the EU EMC directive, please refer the Instruction Manual (basic).
