Observe the following notices to ensure personal safety or to prevent accidents.
To ensure that you use this product correctly, read this User’s Manual thoroughly before use.
Make sure that you fully understand the product and information on safety.
This manual uses two safety flags to indicate different levels of danger.

WARNING

If critical situations that could lead to user’s death or serious injury is assumed by
mishandling of the product.

-Always take precautions to ensure the overall safety of your system, so that the whole

system remains safe in the event of failure of this product or other external factor.

-Do not use this product in areas with inflammable gas. It could lead to an explosion.

-Exposing this product to excessive heat or open flames could cause damage to the lithium
battery or other electronic parts.

CAUTION

If critical situations that could lead to user’s injury or only property damage is
assumed by mishandling of the product.

-To prevent excessive exothermic heat or smoke generation, use this product at the values
less than the maximum of the characteristics and performance that are assured in these
specifications.

-Do not dismantle or remodel the product. It could cause excessive exothermic heat or smoke
generation.

-Do not touch the terminal while turning on electricity. It could lead to an electric shock.

-Use the external devices to function the emergency stop and interlock circuit.

-Connect the wires or connectors securely.
The loose connection could cause excessive exothermic heat or smoke generat ion.

-Do not allow foreign matters such as liquid, flammable materials, metals to go into the inside
of the product. It could cause excessive exothermic heat or smoke generation.

-Do not undertake construction (such as connection and disconnection) while the power
supply is on. It could lead to an electric shock.

Input range setting switch (voltage/current)

This switch is used to change the input mode (between voltage and current). All eight
input channels of the A/D converter unit operate at the same level. Refer to page 3−3
for details.

2

Analog input terminal block (9-pin)

Use a terminal block socket made by Phoenix Contact Co. (product number:

1840434).

3

Power supply connector

Supply 24V DC. It is connected using the power supply cable (AFP0581) that comes
with the unit.

4

Expansion connector

connects an expansion unit to the internal circuit of the this unit.

5

DIN rail attachment lever

allows simple attachment to a DIN rail. The lever is also used for installation on FP0
slim type mounting plate (AFP0803).
