symbol represents caution due to special circumstances in which hazards may occur.
Warning
1. Fail-safe device must be installed when using the unit with machinery that may cause serious injury
or substantial economic loss. (e.g. nuclear power control, medical equipment, ships, vehicles,
railways, aircraft, combustion apparatus, safety equipment, crime/disaster prevention devices, etc.)
Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury, fire, or economic loss.
2. The unit must be installed on a device panel before use.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in electric shock.
3. Do not connect, repair, or inspect the unit while connected to a power source.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in electric shock.
4. Check the terminal numbers before connecting the power source.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in fire.
5. Do not disassemble or modify the unit. Please contact us if necessary.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in electric shock or fire.
Caution
1. Do not use the unit outdoors.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in shortening the life cycle of the unit, or electric shock.
2. When connecting the power input and relay output cables, use AWG20 (0.05mm
2
) cables and make
sure to tighten the terminal screw bolt above 0.74N . m to 0.90N . m.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in fire due to contact failure.
3. Use the unit within the rated specifications.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in shortening the life cycle of the unit, or fire.
4. Do not use loads beyond the rated switching capacity of the relay contact.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in insulation failure, contact melt, contact failure, relay broken, or fire.
5. Do not use water or oil-based detergent when cleaning the unit. Use dry cloth to clean the unit.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in electric shock or fire.
6. Do not use the unit where flammable or explosive gas, humidity, direct sunlight, radiant heat,
vibration, or impact may be present.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in fire or explosion.
7. Keep dust and wire residue from flowing into the unit.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in fire or product damage.
8. Check the polarity of the measurement input contact before wiring the temperature sensor.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in fire or explosion.
9. For installing the unit with reinforced insulation, use the power supply unit which basic level is
ensured.
