4 MOUNTING

How to mount

1.

Fit the rear part of the mounting section of the
controller on a DIN rail.

2.

Press down the rear part of the mounting sec-

tion of the unit on the DIN rail and t the front

part of the mounting section to the DIN rail.

How to remove

1.

Push the controller forward.

2.

Lift up the front part of the controller to remove
it.

Connecting the sensor head connection cable

●

Always shut off the power before connecting a slave unit to or disconnecting a sen­sor head connection cable from this product. Risk of controller damage if you at­tempt connection with the power ON.

How to mount

1.

Insert the sensor head connection cable into
the connector for the sensor head connection
cable on the controller.

Note: Insert the connector rmly. Risk of sensor head or controller damage if not completely connected.

How to remove

1.

Grasp the controller, and while pressing on
the release lever on the connector of the sen­sor head connection cable, pull the cable to­ward you to disconnect.

Note:

Do not pull by holding the cable without pressing the release lever, as this can cause cable break or connector break.

5 CONNECTING SLAVE UNITS

● Always shut OFF the power before connecting a slave unit or communication
unit to or disconnecting a slave unit or communication unit from the master unit.
Risk of controller damage if you attempt connection with the power ON.

● Insert the male connector firmly into the female connector. Risk of controller
damage if not completely connected.

● To connect units, the units must be mounted on a DIN rail. Attach end plates

MS-DIN-E

(optional) so as to enclose the connected units at the ends.

● Up to 15 slave units can be connected per master unit. (When communication
unit consolidated: up to 14 slave units)

● When the

HG-T

controller and

HG-S

controller are used in combination, connect
the slave units of the same series to the side closer to the master unit, and
connect the slave units of the different series to the far side.

● When the
functions such as computation function and copy function are restricted. For de­tailed information, refer to the “

site:https://panasonic.net/id/pidsx/global )

9 CAUTIONS

● For the controller DC power supply, only use a power supply that is isolated by
means of an isolation transformer or otherwise.

● Risk of short-circuiting and damage to the controller or power supply if a trans-
former such as an auto transformer is used. Risk of short-circuiting and damage
to the controller or power supply if incorrectly mounted or connected.

●

The controller

If used with other than the special sensor head option, the specications will not

be met and product malfunctioning or damage may occur.

● This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.

● This product uses an EEPROM. The EEPROM has a service life of one million
setting operations.

● Do not use this product outside the range of the specications. Risk of an accident
and product damage. There is also a risk of a noticeable reduction of service life.

● Verify that the supply voltage uctuations are within the rating.

● If power is supplied from a commercial switching regulator, ensure that the frame
ground (F.G.) terminal of the power supply is connected to an actual ground.

● Do not use during the initial transient time after the power supply is switched ON.

● Make sure that the power supply is OFF while performing wiring or connecting a
slave unit work.

●

Take care that short-circuit of the load or wrong wiring may burn or damage the product.

●

After you have completed wiring work, check the wiring carefully before switching on the power.

● Do not wire in parallel with a high-voltage line or power line, or run through the
same conduit. Risk malfunctioning due to induction.

●

Do not apply stress such as excessive bending or pulling to the extracted part of a cable.

● This product is suitable for indoor use only.

● Avoid dust, dirt, and steam.

●

Do not use this sensor in places where it may come in contact with corrosive gas, etc.

●

Ensure that the product does not come into contact with organic solvents such as thinner.

● Ensure that the product does not come into contact with strong acid or alkaline.

● Ensure that the product does not come into contact with oil or grease.

●

This product cannot be used in an environment containing ammable or explosive gases.

● Performance may not be satisfactory in a strong electromagnetic eld.

● This product is a precision device. Do not drop or otherwise subject to shock. Risk
of product damage.

● Never attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the product.

● When the product becomes unusable or unneeded, dispose of the product appro-
priately as industrial waste.
