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.

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.) Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury, economic loss or fire.
Do not use the unit in the place where flammable / explosive / corrosive gas, humidity, direct sunlight, radiant heat, vibration, impact, or salinity may be present.
- Failure to follow this instruction may result in explosion or fire.
Install on a device panel to use.
- Failure to follow this instruction may result in fire or electric shock.
Do not connect, repair, or inspect the unit while connected to a power source.
- Failure to follow this instruction may result in fire or electric shock.
Check ‘Connections’ before wiring.
- Failure to follow this instruction may result in fire.
Do not disassemble or modify the unit.
- Failure to follow this instruction may result in fire or electric shock.

Caution Failure to follow instructions may result in injury or product damage.

When connecting the power/sensor input, use AWG 20 (0.50 mm2) cable or over, and tighten the terminal screw with a tightening torque of 0.74 to 0.90 N m.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in fire or malfunction due to contact failure.
Use the unit within the rated specifications.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in fire or product damage.
Use a dry cloth to clean the unit, and do not use water or organic solvent. Failure to follow this instruction may result in fire or electric shock.
Keep the product away from metal chips, dust, and wire residue which flow into the unit.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in fire or product damage.

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.
Use the product, 0.1 sec after supplying power.
When supplying or turning off the power, use a switch or etc. to avoid chattering.
Install a power switch or circuit breaker in the easily accessible place for supplying or disconnecting the power.
When the counter is operating, in case of contact input, set count speed to low speed mode (1 cps or 30 cps) to operate. If set to high speed mode (2 k, 5 kcps) counting error occurs due to chattering.
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 varistor 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.
This unit may be used in the following environments.
Indoors (in the environment condition rated in ‘Specifications’)
Altitude max. 2,000 m
Pollution degree 2
Installation category II
