When selecting Re-start mode while opera ing, cut off the power and turn it on again.

Delay Time: Approx. 30ms

※

t: ON time for input signal

※

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 input signal's on time is 5ms, therefore, total delay time for output waveform becomes approx. 35ms(5ms+30ms).

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.

Proper Usage

~

1. Follow instructions in 'Cau ions during Use'. Otherwise, It 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.
