Important Instructions
Measures to be taken when an abnormality occurs
In the following cases, turn the power OFF immediately. Using the IV Series in an abnormal condition
could cause re, electric shock, or malfunction.
Contact our ofce for repair.
If water or debris enters the IV Series.
If the IV Series is dropped or the case is damaged.
If abnormal smoke or odor emanates from the IV Series.
Precautions on installation
To use this product correctly and safely, avoid installing it in the following locations. Failure to
do so may cause re, electric shock, or malfunction.
Outdoors
Altitude above 2000 m
Locations that are humid, dusty or poorly ventilated
Locations where the temperature is high such as those exposed to direct sunlight
Locations where there are ammable or corrosive gases
Locations where the unit may be directly subjected to vibration or impact
Locations where water, oil, or chemicals may splash onto the unit
To improve the anti-noise feature, install the unit following the precautions below. Otherwise, a
malfunction may occur.
Mount the sensor onto the insulated attached mounting adapter.
Ground the FG cable (drain cable) of the sensor.
Do not mount the unit in a cabinet where high-voltage equipment is already installed.
Mount the unit as far from power lines as possible.
Separate the unit as far as possible from the devices that emit strong electric or magnetic
eld (such as solenoid or chopper).
Separate the I/O signal line from the power line or high-voltage line.
For power supply
Noise superimposed on the power supply could cause malfunction. Use a stabilized DC
power supply congured with an isolation transformer.
When using a commercially available switching regulator, be sure to ground the frame ground
terminal.
Devices including this unit are precision components. Do not apply shock or vibration.
When connecting to a network, let engineers who are knowledgeable about networks handle it.
