Safety Considerations

• Observe all 'Safety Considerations' for safe and proper operation to avoid hazards.
• ᜸ symbol indicates caution due to special circumstances in which hazards may occur.
᜸ Warning
Failure to follow instructions may result in serious injury or death.
01. 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.)
02.
high humidity, direct sunlight, radiant heat, vibration, impact, or salinity
may be present.
03. Do not disassemble or modify the unit.
04. Do not connect, repair, or inspect the unit while connected to a power
source.
05. Check 'Connections' before wiring.
᜸ Caution

01.
02. Use a dry cloth to clean the unit, and do not use water or organic solvent.
03. Do not supply power without load.
Cautions during Use
• Follow instructions in 'Cautions during Use' . Otherwise, it may cause unexpected
accidents.
• Wire as short as possible and keep away from high voltage lines or power lines, to
prevent surge and inductive noise.
Do not use near the equipment which generates strong magnetic force or high
frequency noise (transceiver, etc.).
In case installing the product near the equipment which generates strong surge (motor,
welding machine, etc.), use diode or varistor to remove surge.
• Do not connect capacity load to the output terminal directly.
• If the surface is rubbed with a hard object, PTFE coating can be worn out.
• This unit may be used in the following environments.
- Altitude max. 2,000 m
- Pollution degree 2
- Installation category II

Cautions for Installation

• Install the unit correctly with the usage environment, location, and the designated
• Do NOT impacts with a hard object or excessive bending of the wire lead-out. It may
cause damage the water resistance.
• Do NOT pull the Ø 3.5 mm cable with a tensile strength of 25 N, the Ø 4 mm cable with
a tensile strength of 30 N or over and the Ø 5 mm cable with a tensile strength of 50 N
• When extending wire, use AWG 22 cable or over within 200 m.
