(Note 1): The (+) and (-) terminals are the power supply terminals for driving the main unit.
(Note 2): Regarding power supply voltage, please pay due consideration to the cable length so that the applied
voltage is within the operation voltage range.
(Note 3): When tightening the terminal block requires a flat-blade screwdriver with a blade size of 0.4 x 2.5 or special
screwdriver (part No.: AFP0806). The tightening torque should be 0.22 to 0.3 Nm.
