  • Page 53: Consideration For Electrical Noise

    Consideration for electrical noise Electrical noise generated by other equipment may cause a Switch failure. Please develop the power facility plan to observe the following points. ⚫ Do not connect a device (such as an air conditioner) whose power is repeatedly turned on and off by a relay, micro-switch, etc., to the branch circuit of the power supply used for the Switch.

  • Page 54: Leakage Current

    Leakage current The Switch is equipped with a noise filter to prevent failure caused by electrical noise. As a result, leakage current flows through the safety ground wire (class D grounding). A maximum leakage current of 1 mA flows per device, so if you are required to install an earth leakage breaker under the Fire Services Act and other laws, take this into consideration.
