Precautions for Safe Use
Power Supply and Wiring
• Make sure to use the product with the power supply voltage specified by this manual.
• Provide the power from a DC power supply (safety extra-low voltage circuits) that has been
taken measures not to generate high-voltage.
• Make sure to tighten all screws in mounting.
• Keep the power supply wires as short as possible (Max. 2 m).
• Use the wire of a suitable size (AWG 10 to 16) according to the current consumption.
Ground
• The power supply circuit of the FH Sensor Controller is insulated from the internal circuit.
• When a base is packed in a camera that will be connected to the Sensor Controller, make
sure to mount the camera using the base. Since the enclosure of the camera body is con-
nected to the internal circuits, the circuits may cause short-circuit with FG if the base is not
used to mount the camera and result in malfunction or damage.
• Apply Class D grounding (grounding resistance: 100 [Ω] or less)
• Provide the grounding point as close to the product as possible to shorten the grounding wire.
• Wire the grounding wire for the Sensor Controller independently. If the grounding wire is
shared with other devices or connected to a building beam, the Sensor Controller may be ad-
versely affected.
Connect the FH Sensor Controller to FH-MT12
Do not ground the positive terminal of the 24 VDC power supply when connecting the Sensor
Controller and FH-MT12 using a USB cable. The internal circuits may cause a short-circuit and
result in malfunction.
Precautions for Correct Use
When connecting the sensor controller and monitor with a switcher and splitter
Do not use devices that may require re-recognition of the monitor by the Sensor Controller
when a switching operation was performed. If such re-recognition processing happens at
switching operation, it may cause measurement time to be longer.
Connection of Terminal Block of Sensor Controller
Connecting of Sensor Controller's terminal block in order to connect package the terminal block con-
nector (male; FH-XCN).
Use the specified wire size (AWG10 to 16) and keep the power supply wires as short as possible
(Max. 2 m).

Insert the end of the signal line (electric wire) into the terminal block connector (male), and
tighten the three screws on the connector top to fix the wire. Recommended tightening torque:
