discolored.
■Power supply
・Connect a breaker to the voltage input part for safety reasons and to protect the device.
・Do not turn on the power supply or input until all wiring is completed.
・Do not add abnormal voltage directly, otherwise it might damage internal circuit.
■Before power on
Please note the following points when turning on power at the first time.
・Confirm there are neither wiring rubbish nor especially an electrical conduction when installed.
・Confirm neither the power supply wiring, the I/O wiring nor the power-supply voltage are wrong.
・Tighten the installation screw and the terminal screw surely.
・Use an electric wire applicable to the rated current.
■Others
・Please note that it might take time to approve the communication again after power on and
breaking the communication.

Cautions for wiring
(1)Terminal fastening torque should be 0.22 to 0.25 N･m. (Use terminal driver AFP0806.)
(2) Use wire with its cross section of 0.3~1.0mm2(AWG#22~16) for the terminal.
(3) When using this unit as terminal station of RS485, －(No.5 or No.7) and E (No.8) terminal should be
shorted externally.
(4) Two ＋terminals (No.4 and No.6) of RS485 are shorted internally.
Two －terminals (No.5 and No.7) of RS485 are shorted internally.
3-3 Communication
Recommended Cable
Use the transmission cables shown below for RS-485 communication system.
1) Use shielded type twist cables.
2) Use only one typeof thetransmission cables. Do not mix different types ofthe cables.
3) Use twist pair cables under abad noise environment.
4) Be sure to connect with daisy chain the RS-485 transmission line between each unit. Connect
one end of the shielded wire to an earth ground.
5) Use 2 recommended cables with the same cross section of 0.3 to 0.34mm2to connect to the
RS-485 (+) and RS-485 (-) terminals.
RS-485 Wiring and setting of terminal station
1) When using shielded cable for the RS-485 transmission line, ground one end.
Use a class D dedicated earth for grounding. Do not share a ground with other earth lines. (Fig.1)
2) Be sure to connect with daisy chain the RS-485 transmission line between each unit.
Do not use a splitter. (Fig.2)
3) With a terminal station, RS-485 (E) (No.8) and RS-485 (-) (No.5 or No.7) should be shorted. (Fig.1)
