Failure to do so may cause electric shock, fire, or falling.
Caution
Before you start working on the product, discharge static electricity
from your body. By touching another grounded metal part with bare hand,
the static electricity can be discharged.
To protect power source circuit and internal circuit of the product,
be sure to install external fuse.
Failures caused by using the product in ways not observing the Warnings and Cautions,
by disassembling or converting the product, or by natural disaster are not covered under
warranty. And do not use the product in ways other than the ways described in this
document.

4. How to Install
Install the product according to the procedure below.
Create mounting holes on a mounting surface (board thickness: 1mm - 10mm)
where there is enough space for the mounting hardware. (See the mounting dimensions diagram)
(a) Insert the product from the front of the mounting surface.
(b) Attach the mounting hardware which comes with the product to the holes on the side of the product.
(c) Then fasten the screws of the mounting hardware. (Recommended fastening torque: 0.7 0.1N m)
Confirm that the product and the mounting hardware are installed properly.

Warning
Be sure to turn the power off before installing the product. Failure to do so may cause electric shock.
Caution
Choose a location for the mounting surface where it has enough strength to support the weight of the product, and where
there is less vibration. Failure to do so may be the cause of injury or damage to the product.
Be sure to use both pieces of mounting hardware, and fasten them with the recommended fastening torque. Failure to do
so ay be the cause of injury or damage to the product.
Other Precautions
Secure a enough space in which the mounting hardware can also be installed when choosing a mounting surface.
Install the product on a flat surface without bumps and dips. Failure to do so may weaken its resistance to water and dust.
To prevent the product from falling in places where vibration may be generated, apply thread locking adhesive or the like,
and perform periodic checking of the tightness of the mounting hardware.
Install the product in a way the air ducts are not blocked.
Keep a space more than 6.3mm between the terminal block and the metal surface.
5. How to Perform Wiring
Before wiring the product, remove the terminal cover. And after the completion of the
wiring attach the terminal cover.
For the external contact of signal line, use no-voltage contact circuit such as relay switch
or open collector circuit (NPN type). As for the contact capacity, see the table below.

Warning
Be sure to turn the power off before you start wiring. Failure to do so may cause electric shock.
The terminal screws should be fastened with the recommended fastening torque (0.3N m). Failure to do so may
cause short circuit due to disconnection of wire, and damage to the product.
When the product is used in places where vibration occurs, perform periodical checking of the tightness of the
terminal screws to prevent letting go of the wires.
Caution
To protect the power source circuit and the internal circuit of the product, be sure to install an external fuse.
Other Precautions
Be careful not to lose the terminal cover.
The use of M3 ring terminals with insulating coating is recommended for the wiring of terminal block to prevent
disconnection of wires.Recommended product: N1.25-3 produced by JST Mfg. Co., Ltd.
(Product confirming to RoHS)
When the product is to be used in a condition in which it is connected to power source, install a switch near the
main body to be able to turn off the power easily for safety reasons.
Confirm that the wiring has been performed correctly before turning on the power.
6. How to Use the Product
6-1 Opening and Closing the Front Cover
Open or close the front cover according to the procedure shown below when
performing tasks such as adjusting the volume of the sound or selecting the tone color
group.
Loosen the mounting screw (M3X6) for the front cover.
(An screw does not fall out.)
Push the lower front cover section (part A in the figure on the right)
lightly with finger to slide it downward.
When a SD card is to be used, remove the waterproofing rubber for the slot.
After completing tasks, attach the parts removed in the procedure from
to
in the opposite order.

Other Precautions
Be careful not to lose the waterproofing rubber for the slot.
Do not try too hard to slide down the front cover. To do so may cause the front cover to disassemble.
Attach the waterproofing rubber for the slot securely. Failure to do so may weaken the product's resistance
to water and dust.
Fasten the mounting screw for front cover with the recommended fastening torque. In places where
vibrations occur, the front cover may fall or the product may be damaged.
6-2. Selecting a Sound Group
Use the sound group selection switch to select a group from the 16 types
from A to P. Use a flat-blade screwdriver with the blade thickness of 1.0mm or
thinner for turning the switch. (Factory default setting: Sound group A)
When the sound group P is selected, any sound may be combined freely
using an SD card. (Factory default setting: See the table below)
Refer to the section 6-3. How to Combine Sounds for details.
220V AC
Other Precautions
Make sure that there is no misalignment with the sound group
selection switch when selecting.
If there is misalignment as shown in the figure on the right, the
sound group selected may not play.
