Wiring precautions
！ Caution
・Always turn the power off before commencing any wiring work.
・Please confirm the specification.
・Confirmation of power supply input
Confirm the input voltage specification (AC or DC) once again. Pay much attention to this matter.
If this is not right, a protective part and the like may be damaged.
・For DC power supply input
If + and - are connected reversely, the internal protective circuit will function to stop
the reverse current. In this case, disconnect the wires, and after about 30 seconds, connect
the wires to + and - correctly. The system will work normally.
・Since the input and output wirings differ depending on the type of the sensor, make wiring work
with the next-mentioned diagrams (Figs ７ to ９).
・Tighten the screw of the terminal boards securely.
・Use the terminal No.7 – 10 as power supply for the sensor. Do not use these terminals for
other things.
