(2) Please do not disassemble this device or make improvements or repairs.
Doing so may cause sudden fire, electrocution or injury.
(3) In order to ensure power to equipment, including this device, is cut in
the event of failure, please ensure an external breaker is installed and
appropriately labeled so that it may be used to cut power to this device
when a malfunction occurs.
(4) In order to prevent device damage and failure, please ensure the voltage
used matches the device’s power rating.
(5) In order to prevent electrocution and device failure, please do not turn
the power on until all wiring has been completed.
(6) Before supplying power to this device, please ensure you check that the
device has been correctly wired. Incorrect wiring may cause device
failure, fire, electrocution or malfunction.
(7) In order to prevent electrocution or fire in the equipment, please check
that there is clearance around the device before activating power.

・Safety Precautions
(1) Watanabe Electric Industry Co., Ltd assumes no responsibility for any
special damage, indirect loss or passive loss caused by this device.
(2) This device has been developed, designed and manufactured on the
premise that it is to be used as general machinery. Please ensure
attention is paid to safety by adopting such means as a fail-safe design
and a redundancy design, and by conducting regular checks on the
device, particularly when it is being used for purposes such as the
following, where safety is of utmost importance.
•Safety devices used for personal protection
•Rail, aviation and vehicular equipment
•Medical equipment
•Incineration systems, nuclear systems
•Other purposes conforming to the conditions above which require high
levels of safety
(3) Please do not use this device for applications which directly affect
human lives.
(4) When this device is to be used in conjunction with other products,
please check for conformance with specifications, provisions of law and
regulations before use to ensure compatibility.
(5) As the operating life of the comparative output relays varies greatly
depending on switching capacity and conditions, please ensure the
relays are used within their rated load and electrical life. Using
deteriorated relays could result in insulation failure between circuits or
burnout of the relays themselves.
(6) This device requires more than 40 minutes warm up time from when
power is activated in order to operate within its degree of accuracy.
(7) Please do not wipe this device with alcohol, paint thinner, benzene,
acetone or other organic solvents. When wiping the device, please use
a neutral detergent.

2-3 Mounting the Unit on the Panel
1) After removing the mounting bands from the
main unit, please insert the unit from the front side
of the panel.
2) Fix the unit in place from the rear of the panel
using the mounting bands to the left and right.
(1) Panel board thickness should be 0.8 to 5mm.
(2) Please do not install the device in the following locations.
・Locations with sudden changes in temperature resulting in
condensation.
•Locations with corrosive gases (particularly sulfide gas, ammonia
etc.) or flammable gases.
•Locations where the main unit may be subjected to vibration or
impact.
•Locations where the unit may come in contact with water, oil,
chemicals, steam or vapor.
•Locations with high concentrations of dust, salinity or iron particles.
•Locations with large inductive interference resulting in static
electricity, magnetic fields or noise.
•Locations exposed to direct sunlight.
•Locations where heat accumulation from radiant heat and other
sources occurs.
(3) In order to ensure heat dissipation is not obstructed, please allow room
around the device for heat to be released and ensure the device’s
ventilation holes and surroundings are not obstructed. When
