●Product handling Installation Tighten to the specified tightening torque. If the tightening torque is exceeded the mounting screws, the product may damaged. If the tightening torque is insufficient, the product may be displaced and the mounting screws may come loose. Ensure that the FG terminal is connected to ground when using a commercially available switch-mode power supply.
Page 8
Wiring Do not pull the lead wires. In particular, never lift a product equipped with fitting and piping by holding the lead wires. Otherwise damage to the internal parts can result, causing malfunction or disconnection of the connector. Avoid repeatedly bending or stretching the lead wire, or placing heavy loads on it. Repeated bending stress or tensile stress can cause damage to the sheath, or breakage of the wires.
Page 9
Environment Do not use the product in an environment that is constantly exposed to the splash of water. Otherwise failure or malfunction can result. Take measures such as using a cover. Do not use the product in an environment where corrosive gases or fluids could be splashed. Otherwise damage to the product and malfunction can result.

Maintenance How to reset the product after a power cut or when the power has been unexpectedly removed The settings of the product are retained from before the power cut or de-energizing. The output condition also recovers to that before power cut or de-energizing, but may change depending on the operating environment.
Troubleshooting If an operation failure of the product occurs, please confirm the cause of the failure from the following table. If a cause applicable to the failure cannot be identified and normal operation can be recovered by replacement with a new product, this indicates that the product itself was faulty. Problems with the product may be due to the operating environment (installation etc).
