Period and Terms of Warranty

Warranty Period

The Power Supply warranty is valid for a period of

five years from the date of shipment from the factory.

Terms of Warranty

The warranty is valid only for the following operating conditions.

1. Average ambient operating temperature of the Power Supply: 40°C max. (See note.)

2. Average load rate of 80% max. (See note.)

3. Mounting method: Standard mounting

4. Rated input voltage

Note: The maximum ratings must be within the derating curve.

If the Power Supply fails for reasons attributable to OMRON within the above warranty period, OMRON will repair or replace the faulty part of the

Power Supply at the place of purchase or the place where the Power Supply delivered without charge.

This warranty does not cover the following types of failures.

Recommended Replacement Periods and Periodic Replacement for

Preventive Maintenance

The recommended replacement period for preventive maintenance is greatly influenced by the application environment of the Power Supply. As

a guideline, the recommended replacement period is 7 to 10 years.

*

To prevent failures or accidents that can be caused by using a Power Supply beyond its service live, we recommend that you replace the Power

Supply as early as possible within the recommended replacement period.

However, bear in mind that the recommended replacement period is for reference only and does not guarantee the life of the Power Supply.

Many electronic components are used in the Power Supply and the Power Supply depends on the correct operation of these components to

achieve the original Power Supply functions and performance.

However, the influence of the ambient temperature on aluminum electrolytic capacitors is large, and the service life is reduced by half for each

10°C rise in temperature (Arrhenius law).

When the capacity reduction life of the electrolytic capacitor is reached, the Power Supply failures or accidents may occur.

We therefore recommend that you replace the Power Supply periodically to minimize product failures or accidents in advance.

* The recommended replacement period applies under the following conditions: rated input voltage, load rate of 50% max., ambient temperature

of 40°C max., and the standard mounting method.

This Power Supply model is designed with a service life of 10 years minimum under the above conditions.

(1) Failures that result from handling or operation of the Power Supply under conditions or in environments that are not given in this document

and not given in any other specifications exchanged between OMRON and the customer

(2) Failures that originate in causes other than the delivered product itself

(3) Failures caused by disassembly, modification, or repair of the Power Supply by anyone other than OMRON

(4) Failures caused by applications or uses for which the Power Supply was not originally intended

(5) Failures caused by factors that could not be anticipated with the scientific or technical knowledge available when the Power Supply was shipped

(6) Failures caused by other causes for which OMRON is not responsible, such as natural disasters and other acts of God

This warranty is limited to the individual Power Supply that was delivered and does not cover any secondary, subsequent, or related damages.
