CAUTIONS
ƔThis product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.

ƔTake care that if a voltage exceeding the rated range is applied, or if an AC
power supply is directly connected, the product may get burnt or be damaged.
ƔTake care that short-circuit of the load or wrong wiring may burn or damage
the product.
ƔDo not run the wires together with high-voltage lines or power lines, or put
them in the same raceway.This can cause malfunction due to induction.

tend the cable, be sure to use cables which have 0.3mm2or more of conductor
cross-section area. Extension up to total 100m is possible. However, in order
to reduce noise, make the wiring as short as possible.
