Precautions
!WARNING
Do not attempt to take any Block apart or touch the interior of a
Block while the power is being supplied. Doing so may result in
electric shock.
Do not link or separate any Blocks while the power is being
supplied. Doing so may result in electric shock.
Do not remove the connector cover on unused Bus Line Con-
nectors. Doing so may result in electric shock.
Close the terminal covers before use. Not doing so may result
in electric shock.
!Caution
When linking Blocks, lock the sliders and track stoppers.
When linking Blocks, wire the input line for 1 Block only. Other-
wise, inputs may be shorted internally resulting in damage to
the Blocks.
The tightening torque for terminal screws is 1.08 N·m. The
tightening torque for connector screws and screw flanges is
0.30 N·m. Loose screws may result in fire.
Do not touch the Power Supply while power is supplied or im-
mediately after power is turned OFF. The Power Supply be-
comes hot and touching it may result in injury.
Mounting
To improve the long-term reliability of devices, give due consider-
ation to heat dissipation when mounting. With the S8TS, heat is
dissipated by natural convection. Mount Blocks in a way that
allows convection in the atmosphere around the them.
*1. Convection of air
*2. 75 mm min.
*3. 75 mm min.
*4. 10 mm min.
When cutting out holes for mounting, make sure that cuttings do
not enter the interior of the products.
Wiring
Be sure to wire I/O terminals correctly. When tightening the termi-
nals, do not exert a force of 100 N or more on terminal blocks or
connector terminals.
With Blocks with connector terminals, the current for 1 terminal
must not exceed 7.5 A. If a higher current is required, use 2 termi-
nals.

Recommended Wire Size for Parallel Operation
Blocks with Connector Terminals
•When using Blocks with connector terminals, the current for
1 terminal must not exceed 7.5 A. If a higher current is required,
use 2 terminals.
•Do not insert/remove AC input connectors or DC output connec-
tor more than 20 times.
Installation Environment
Do not use the Power Supply in locations subject to shocks or
vibrations. Be sure to mount End Plates (PFP-M) on both ends of
the Power Supply. Install the Power Supply well away from any
sources of strong, high-frequency noise.
Operating and Storage Environments
Do not use or store the Power Supply in the following locations.
Doing so may result in failure, malfunction, or deterioration of per-
formance characteristics.
•Do not use in locations subject to direct sunlight.
•Do not use in locations where the ambient temperature exceeds
the range of the derating curve.
•Do not use in locations where the humidity is outside the range
25% to 85%, or locations subject to condensation due to sudden
temperature changes.
•Do not store in locations where the ambient temperature is out-
side the range -25 to 65°C or where the humidity is outside the
range 25% to 95%.
•Do not use in locations where liquids, foreign matter, corrosive
gases, or flammable gases may enter the interior of products.
Charging Batteries
If a battery is connected as the load, provide an overcurrent con-
trol circuit and an overvoltage protective circuit.
