circuit for overload protection of
the relay output module.
Otherwise, a load short-circuit may cause
an accident or damage to the machine.
Mandatory
When using the contact relay
used for relay output, check the
contact life.
If the contact life of the relay is expired, an
output error may occur due to a defective
contact, resulting in an accident or damage
to the machine.
Contact relays have a life due to wearing

whenever possible. If this is not possible,
construct the system so that the external
power supply and load power supply are
turned off simultaneously.
Mandatory
Construct the emergency stop
circuit and interlock circuit
outside the nv series.
Otherwise, it may cause an injury accident
or damage to the machine if failure or
malfunction occurs in the nv series.

Note the following where this symbol is present.
●Touching the power input terminal of the power supply module while the power is on
causes an electric shock and is very dangerous.
Do not touch the power input terminal.
●For safety, turn off the power before wiring or performing maintenance and inspection.
●Wire the power input terminal correctly, and avoid applying any voltage exceeding the
specified voltage range. It may cause failure or damage.
●Perform connector connection of the nV-Tool port after turning off the power of the
nV-Tool (such as the PC).
Turn on the power of the nV-Tool after connection.
Be careful not to short-circuit the connector pins with the connector cover.
[Warning stickers]
The warning sticker as shown in the left
figure is attached to the power terminal of
the nv series (except for power supplies
