    • Do not use the product in environments where it can be exposed to inflammable/ explosive gas. • Install the Amplifier Unit in such a way that the ventilation holes are not blocked. • To secure the safety of operation and maintenance, do not install the product close to high-voltage devices and power devices.
  • Page 6: Precautions For Correct Use

    • When using a commercially available switching regulator, make sure that the FG ter- minal is grounded. • If surge currents are present in the power lines, connect surge absorbers that suit the operating environment. • Before turning ON the power after the product is connected, make sure that the power supply voltage is correct, there are no incorrect connections (e.g.
