Installation Conditions
Installation environment
• Installation this unit indoors.
• Do not install this unit in locations exposed to direct sunlight.
• Do not install this unit in locations in which there is corrosive gas or flammable gas.
• Do not install this unit in locations exposed to a lot of dust, soot, or steam.
• Do not install this unit in locations
• When installing this unit in a location subject to vibration or impact, consider the
vibration proof mounting.
in which water, oil, or chemicals may splash onto the unit.
When installing this unit in a control console
• The ambient temperature for this unit should not exceed the upper temperature limit
(refer to the derating characteristic). When the upper temperature limit may be
exceeded, install a cooling fan or cooler so that the ambient temperature is below the
upper temperature limit.
• Leave a sufficient ventilation space around this unit for head dissipation.
• Do not install this unit just above a device with high head generation (transformer,
inverter, servo amplifier, etc.).
Installation
Space around the unit
The CA-U4 uses natural air-cooling. To ensure sufficient convection of air to dissipate
heat, provide enough space between the CA-U4 and the control panel or other nearby
devices as shown below.
Installation orientation
Install this unit with the base down as shown below. Do not install the unit in any other
orientation.
Mounting bracket (optional)
Make sure that the tightening torque for the mounting screw holes of this unit is 0.5 N·m or less.

Method of Operation
The display mode changes each time when the MODE switch is pressed.
• The CA-U4 is set to the output current display mode before shipment. It retains the
display mode that was used before the power was turned off.
• The maximum value for the peak current display mode is cleared when the power is
turned off and the display mode is changed.
• When the switch is held down for 3 seconds or more, the current mode is locked and cannot
be changed. To unlock the mode, hold down the switch again for 3 seconds or more.
