Please tell me the precautions to take during installation.

Please pay attention to the following points.

  • Please wire separately from the power line that has a large electrical load connected.
  • Do not run wiring parallel to or alongside power lines.
  • Please keep the power cable and signal cable as far apart as possible.
  • Please use signal cables with double shielding.
  • Please do not extend the signal cable more than necessary.
  • When supplying power to an AC power input type, be sure to wire a breaker to prevent electric shock, short circuits, and leakage.
