3 Mount the attached end units (OP-26751: a set of two pieces) on both sides of the 
sensor amplifier and the DeviceNet Compatible Network Unit DL-DN1, then fix 
the end units with screws on the upper part of each end unit (2 points x 2 units).
The mounting method of the end unit is the same as that of the DeviceNet Compatible 
Network Unit DL-DN1.
z Connecting to a panel mounting type sensor amplifier
1 Connect the sensor amplifier to the DeviceNet Compatible Network Unit DL-DN1 
using the optional expansion cable (OP-35361). 
2 Detach the sensor amplifier connector (for DIN rail mounting type) of the 
DeviceNet Compatible Network Unit DL-DN1 with pliers and mount the attached 
expansion connector sticker.
z Connecting to a large display type sensor amplifier
1 Connect the sensor amplifier to the DeviceNet Compatible Network Unit DL-DN1 
using the optional expansion cable (OP-35361).
2 Detach the sensor amplifier connector (for DIN rail mounting type) of the 
DeviceNet Compatible Network Unit DL-DN1 with pliers and mount the attached 
expansion connector sticker.
Wiring
Use the following procedures to wire the DL-DN1.
Refer also to the DeviceNet Installation Manual published by ODVA.
 Connecting to DeviceNet
Use the following procedure to connect the DL-DN1 to the DeviceNet.
z Recommended Cables
For connection between the DL-DN1 and the DeviceNet, use DeviceNet cables conform-
ing to the DeviceNet specifications or dedicated flat cables.
z Trimming the Cable
1 Strip the cable sheath.
Strip approximately 70 mm of cable sheath.
Make sure that the bare part of the shield braid is 6 mm or shorter.
2 Install shrinkable tube.
Cover the exposed sheathed conductors and the sheath using a shrinkable tube 
approximately 40 mm long.
3 Strip the sheathed conductors.
Strip approximately 10 mm of sheath from the end of each conductor. 
z Connecting the Cable
Use the following procedures to wire to the DeviceNet connector supplied with the DL-DN1.
1 Connect the trimmed cable to the DeviceNet connector.
Insert the cable completely. 
2 Attach the DeviceNet connector to the DL-DN1.
Plug the connector into the DL-DN1 and secure it down with the screws on each end. 
(Tightening torque: 0.2 to 0.3 Nm)
Be sure to insert the DeviceNet Compatible Network Unit DL-DN1
to the sensor amplifier to the end. Turning on the power with 
diagonal insertion or improper insertion may damage the 
equipment.
• Turn OFF the power before connecting the expansion cable 
and connect securely. Diagonal or otherwise improper 
insertion may damage the equipment. 
• Inserting or pulling the cable when the power is turned ON 
may damage the equipment.
• Turn OFF the power before connecting the expansion cable 
and connect securely. Diagonal or otherwise improper 
insertion may damage the equipment. 
• Inserting or pulling the cable when the power is turned ON 
may damage the equipment.

Turn off the power before wiring.
To ensure normal communication, use only the DeviceNet or 
dedicated cables.
• If you are using solderless terminals, perform cable wiring /
trimming appropriately to suit the specifications of the 
particular terminals.
Recommended solderless terminals: Phoenix Contact's A/AI 
Series
• Do not perform soldering (pre-soldering) on the trimmed 
end of the cable.
