Cautions during Use
- Follow instructions in ‘Cautions during Use’. Otherwise, It may cause unexpected accidents.
- Power supply should be insulated and limited voltage / current or Class 2, SELV power supply device.
- Install a power switch or circuit breaker in the easily accessible place for supplying or disconnecting the power.
- Use twisted pair wire for communication line.
- Keep away from high voltage lines or power lines to prevent inductive noise.
In case installing power line and input signal line closely, use line filter or varactor at power line and shielded wire at input signal line.
Do not use near the equipment which generates strong magnetic force or high frequency noise.
| Connection with the line filter | Connection with the varactor |
