Installation Conditions
Installation orientation
You can position the product in the orientation shown below.
Other orientations could cause problems such as malfunction due to inadequate heat dissipation.
Vertical installation (Installation angle 0°)
Figure 2.5. Installation orientation
Make sure to gain proper space between the product and devices that generate heat or exhaust air so that
the ambient temperature stays in the range specified in the environment requirement.
Recommended installation angle
Recommended installation angle is 0. Other angles may not satisfy the temperature specification of the
product.
Ambient temperature
The ambient temperature is decided from the multiple measurement points which are a 50mm-distance
from the case. During the operation, adjust the air current to make certain that the temperatures
measured in the points stay within the specified temperature.
- Note that although the ambient temperature is within the specified range, an operational failure may
occur if there is other device generating high heat nearby; the radiation will influence the product to
increase its temperature.
- Do not install the product into the fully-sealed space except the case in which the internal temperature
is adjustable by equipment such as an air conditioner. Long-term usage might increase the temperature
and lead to a malfunction or other troubles.
- When using the product in a high temperature environment, its life time will be shorten. Perform the
forced air cooling to counteract.

Cable Connection
Cable Connection
When connecting the product to an external device, you can use the supplied connector plug.
For wiring, strip off approximately 9 - 10mm of the covered part of a wire rod and then insert it to the
opening. After the insertion, secure the wire rod with screws. Compatible wires are AWG 28 - 16.
Removing the connector plug by grasping the cable can break the wire.

Analog Output (AO)
Example of Connecting a Negative Load Resistor
Two types of connection methods can be employed: fixed load and floating load. If the module is used
as a load resistance, multiple current loops can be implemented by using the same power supply.
The use of current output requires an external power supply (22 - 24V). In such a case, a power supply
with a small ripple should be used in order to avoid an adverse impact on the conversion accuracy due
to a large power supply ripple.
The load resistance RL that is connected to the current output of each channel should be less than 500Ω,
including the wire resistance.
Connecting with a Flat Cable example
Use a flat cable to connect the voltage output and the analog ground of each channel to the load
resistance RL.
