SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(Read these precautions before using.)
When using this equipment, thoroughly read this manual. Also pay careful
attention to safety and handle the module properly.
These precautions apply only to this equipment.
Refer to the CPU module User's Manual for a description of the PC system
safety precautions.
These "Safety Precautions" classify the safety precautions into two
categories: "DANGER" and "CAUTION".
DANGER
CAUTION
Procedures which may lead to a dangerous condition and
cause death or serious injury, if not carried out properly.
Procedures which may lead to a dangerous condition and
cause superficial to medium injury, or physical damage
only, if not carried out properly.
Depending on circumstances, procedures indicated by CAUTION may
also be linked to serious results.
In any case, it is important to follow the directions for usage.
Store this manual in a safe place so that you can take it out and read it
whenever necessary. Always forward it to the end user.

[DESIGN PRECATUIONS]
DANGER
Input/output could be switched on or off when a problem occurs in the
repeater module.
So build an external monitoring circuit that will monitor any input/output
signals that could cause a serious accident.
CAUTION
Use each module in an environment as specified in the "general
specification" in the CPU module User's Manual.
Usage of the module outside the general specification range may cause
electric shock, fire, malfunction, product damage or deterioration.
Do not have control cables and communication cables bundled with or
placed near by the main circuit and/or power cables. It may cause
malfunction due to noise interference. Wire those cables at least
100mm(3.94 inch) away from the main circuit and/or power cables.
[INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS]
CAUTION
Do not directly touch the module's conductive parts.
Doing so could cause malfunction or trouble in the module.
Tighten the module securely using DIN rail or installation screws within the
specified torque range.
Loose terminal screws may cause falling, short circuit or erroneous
operation.
If the terminal screws are too tight, it may cause falling or short circuit due
to damage of the screws.
[WIRING PRECAUTIONS]
DANGER
Perform installation and wiring after disconnecting the power supply at all
phases externally. If the power is not disconnected at all phases an electric
shock or product damage may result.
CAUTION
Be sure to ground the FG terminal to the class-D (class 3) or higher
sequencer dedicated grounding conductor.
Otherwise there will be an electric shock or misoperation.
Terminal screws which are not to be used must be tightened always.
Otherwise there will be a danger of short circuit against the bare solderless
terminals.
Perform correct wiring for the module according to the product's rated
voltage and terminal arrangement. Connecting to a power supply different
from the rating or mis-wiring may cause fire and/or trouble.

A - 2
[WIRING PRECAUTIONS]
CAUTION
Fix terminal screws securely with the specified torque.
Loose terminal screws may cause short circuit or malfunction.
If the terminal screws are too tight, it may cause falling, short circuit or
erroneous operation due to damage of the screws or module.
Make sure foreign objects do not get inside the module, such as dirt and
wire chips.
It may cause fire, trouble or malfunction.
Be sure to fix the communication and power cables that are connected to
the module in place, either by running them through a duct or by using
clamps.
If the cables are not fixed in one of these ways, dispersion, movement, or
careless pulling of the cables may cause damage to the module or cables,
or malfunction due to cable contact faults.
When removing the communication cable or power supply cable from the
module, do not pull the cable. When removing the cable with a connector,
hold the connector on the side that is connected to the module.
When removing the cable connected to the terminal block, first loosen the
screws on the part that is connected to the terminal block.
Pulling the cable that is still connected to the module may cause
malfunction or damage to the module or cable.
[STARTUP AND MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS]
DANGER
Do not touch terminals when the power is on.
It may cause an electric shock or malfunction.
Perform cleaning the module or re-tightening of terminal screws after
making sure to turn off the external power supply. If you do not switch off
the external power supply, it will cause trouble or malfunction of the
module.
CAUTION
Never try to disassemble or modify module.
It may cause trouble, malfunction, injury or fire.
The module case is made of resin; do not drop it or subject it to strong
shock. Module damage may result.
Make sure to switch all phases of the external power supply off before
installing or removing the module to/from the panel.
If you do not switch off the external power supply, it will cause trouble or
malfunction of the module.
[DISPOSAL PRECAUTIONS]
CAUTION
When disposing of this product, treat it as industrial waste.

2.2 Cautions on system configuration
(1) Conditions of usable master module
When the AJ61BT11, A1SJ61BT11, AJ61QBT11 and A1SJ61QBT11
modules are used, those of the functional version B or later must be
employed. Use the master module bearing the version 9707 B or later in the
DATE column of the name plate as shown in the figure below.
When the QJ61BT11 module is used, any module can be used irrespective
of the version.

(2) Max. number of modules connected to configure CC-Link system
Remote I/O stations, remote device stations, local stations, ready master
stations, intelligent device stations and repeaters of 64 modules max. can
be connected in one segment.
In the CC-Link system where repeaters are used, also the number of
remote stations capable of being controlled by one master station is the
same as in the other systems.
For details, refer to the User's Manual of the applicable master module.
(3) Combination of optical repeater modules and fiber-optic cable used
Use the optical repeater modules and fiber-optic cable in the following
combination.
Module Fiber-Optic Cable
SI type fiber-optic cable (max. extension distance of cable: 500m (1639.34ft.))
AJ65SBT-RPS QSI type fiber-optic cable (max. extension distance of cable: 1000m (3278.69ft))

(4) Max. number of stages connected to configure segment
Use of the AJ65SBT-RPS enables communication between the master
station and a remote station located up to three segments away from the
master station segment, and use of the AJ65SBT-RPG enables
communication between the master station and a remote station located up
to two segments away from the master station segment.
However, in a system where the AJ65SBT-RPS and AJ65SBT-RPG are
used together, communication may be made with a remote station located
up to two stages away as in the case of the AJ65SBT-RPG.
