Safety Precautions
■ General Cautions
• At startup and during operation, be sure to monitor the functions and 
performance of the DL-RS1A.
• Provide appropriate safety measures to avoid any damage in the event that 
a problem occurs.
• Do not modify the DL-RS1A or use it in any way other than described in the 
specifications. The functions and performance of products used or 
modified in this way cannot be assured.
• When the DL-RS1A is used in combination with other instruments, its 
functions and performance may be degraded, depending on the operating 
conditions and surrounding environment. Use the DL-RS1A after fully 
studying the effects of combined use with other instruments.
• Do not use the DL-RS1A for the purpose of protecting the human body.
•
Do not expose the DL-RS1A and peripheral devices to sudden 
temperature changes. This may cause condensation, damaging the 
equipment.
● Proper environment and conditions
To use the DL-RS1A properly and safely, do not install the DL-RS1A in 
locations with the following conditions. Use of this equipment in an 
improper environment may cause equipment failure.
• Locations with high humidity, a large amount of dust, or poor ventilation
• Locations where the temperature rises excessively due to direct 
sunlight, etc.
• Locations where corrosive or flammable gas exists
• Locations where the DL-RS1A is directly subjected to vibration or 
impact
• Locations where water, oil or chemicals may splash the DL-RS1A
• Locations where static electricity is easily built up
● Noise countermeasures
Installation near a source of noise such as a power source or power cable 
may cause a malfunction or failure in the equipment. Adopt appropriate 
countermeasures against noise by using a noise filter or wiring cables in 
separate ducts, attaching insulation to the sensor amplifier or the sensor 
head, etc.

WARNING
If the following conditions are encountered, 
immediately turn off the power. Continuing to use the 
DL-RS1A under abnormal conditions may cause fire, 
electric shock or equipment failure.
• When water or foreign matter enters the controller
• When the DL-RS1A is dropped or the housing is 
damaged
• When the DL-RS1A produces smoke or an abnormal 
smell
WARNING
• Do not use the DL-RS1A with a voltage other than 
specified voltage, as this may cause fire, electric 
shock or equipment failure.
• Do not disassemble or modify the DL-RS1A. This 
may cause fire or electric shock.
CAUTION
• Be sure to turn off the power to the DL-RS1A and 
any connected devices before connecting or 
disconnecting the cables. Otherwise, there may be a 
risk of damaging the unit.
• Do not turn off the power while setting a parameter. 
Otherwise, the settings may be partially or 
completely lost.
