■ When only the Q5B is connected to the lower level of the RQ extension base unit
The 5VDC output voltage of the power supply module on the RQ extension base unit is set to 4.90VDC (minimum value).
Therefore, the Q5B can be used when the voltage drop at the extension cable is 0.15VDC or lower (4.90VDC - 4.75VDC =
0.15VDC).
