Cautions during Use
Follow this instruction in ‘Cautions during Use’.
Otherwise, it may cause unexpected accidents.
In case of 24-48VDC, 24VAC model, power supply should be insulated and limited voltage/
current or Class 2, SELV power supply device.
Use the product, 0.1 sec after supplying power.
When supplying or turning off the power, use a switch or etc. to avoid chattering.
Install a power switch or circuit breaker in the easily accessible place for supplying or
disconnecting the power.
Keep away from high voltage lines or power lines to prevent inductive noise.
In case installing power line and input signal line closely, use line filter or varistor at power
line and shielded wire at input signal line.
Do not use near the equipment which generates strong magnetic force or high frequency
noise.
This unit may be used in the following environments.
①Indoors (in the environment condition rated in ‘Specifications’)
②Altitude max. 2,000m
③Pollution degree 2
④Installation category II
