install the MICROSmart outside of equipment.
● Install the MICROSmart in environments as described in the user's
manual. If the MICROSmart is used in places where it is subjected tohigh-temperature, high-humidity, condensation, corrosive gases,excessive vibrations, or excessive shocks itwill result in electricalshocks, 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 theMICROSmart housing. Ingress of such fragments and chips may cause
fire hazard, damage, or malfunction.
● Use wires of a proper size to meet voltage and current requirements.
Tighten terminal screws to the proper tightening torque of 0.2 N-m.
● Do not disassemble, repair, or modify MICROSmart modules.

Safety Precautions
Special expertise is required to use the MICROSmart.
● Read this instruction sheet and the user's manual to make sure ofcorrect 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 shouldfail.
● Install the MICROSmart according to the instructions described in thisinstruction sheet and the user's manual.
Improper installation will result in falling, failure, or malfunction of theMICROSmart.
● 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 ofimportance from Warning and Caution:

Warning notices are used to emphasize that improper operation may
cause severe personal injury or death.

Caution notices are used where inattention might cause personal injury ordamage to equipment.
