vehicles, railways, aircraft, combustion apparatus, safety equipment, crime/disaster prevention
devices, etc.)

Failure to follow this instruction may result in re, personal injury, or economic loss.

2. Install on a device panel or DIN rail to use.

Failure to follow this instruction may result in electric shock or re.

3. Do not connect, repair, or inspect the unit while connected to a power source.

Failure to follow this instruction may result in electric shock or re.

4. Check 'Connections' before wiring.

Failure to follow this instruction may result in re.

5. Do not disassemble or modify the unit.

Failure to follow this instruction may result in electric shock or re.

Caution

1. Use the unit within the rated specications.

Failure to follow this instruction may result in re or product damage.

E.g.) When the signal of
which input signal is 100Hz
(ON: OFF=1:1) is inserted,
1/100Hz=10ms (ON=5ms,
OFF=5ms).
Since nput signal's on time is
5ms, therefore, total delay time
for output waveform becomes
approx. 35ms(5ms+30ms).

When selecting Re-start

mode while operating, cut

Delay Time: Approx. 30ms
t: ON time for input signal

You should consider total
delay time first when
selecting the division.
When division time is
shorter than total delay
time, output TR keeps
staying ON state.

Cautions during Use

1. Follow instructions in 'Cautions during Use'. Otherwise, t may cause unexpected accidents.

2. Since the power for external sensor is without the output short over current protection circuit, do
not short circuit 12V and 0V terminals.

3. Use the product, 0.1 sec after supplying power.

4. When supplying or turning off the power, use a switch or etc. to avoid chattering.

5. Install a power switch or circuit breaker in the easily accessible place for supplying or
disconnecting the power.

6. 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.

7. This unit may be used in the following environments.
