♦ Machine designer, installer, employer and operator
● The machine designer, installer, employer and operator are solely responsible to ensure
that all applicable legal requirements relating to the installation and the use in any application are satisfi ed and all instructions for installation and maintenance contained in the
instruction manual are followed.
● Whether this device functions as intended to and systems including this device comply
with safety regulations depends on the appropriateness of the application, installation,
maintenance and operation. The machine designer, installer, employer and operator are
solely responsible for these items.
♦ Engineer
● The engineer would be a person who is appropriately educated, has widespread knowl-
edge and experience, and can solve various problems which may arise during work,
such as a machine designer, or a person in charge of installation or operation etc.
♦ Operator
● The operator should read this instruction manual thoroughly, understand its contents,
and perform operations following the procedures described in this manual for the correct
operation of this device.
● In case this device does not perform properly, the operator should report this to the per-
son in charge and stop the machine operation immediately. The machine must not be
operated until correct performance of this device has been confi rmed.
♦ Environment
● Since this product is not an explosion-proof type, it cannot be used in an explosive at-
mosphere.
● Do not use a mobile phone or a radio phone near this device.
● Do not install this device in the following environments.
1) Areas with high humidity where condensation is likely to occur
2) Areas exposed to corrosive or explosive gases
3) Areas exposed to vibration or shock of levels higher than that specifi ed
4) Areas exposed to contact with water
5) Areas exposed to too much steam or dust
♦ Installation
● Install this device in the control panel. In installation, provide clearance between the up-
per / lower parts of this device and the structure or parts to have good ventilation and to
ease maintenance.
● Be careful not to have wire offal or cutting chips in this device.
Otherwise, fi re, failure or malfunction may occur.
● Do not disassemble or modify this device. Otherwise, failure, malfunction, injury or fire
may occur. If repair or modifi cation is performed not by Panasonic Electric Works SUNX,

● Since the case of this device is plastic, do not give strong impact including drop. Other-
wise, it may be broken.
♦ Machine for installation
● This product start the operation after 2 seconds from turning ON the power. Thus, set
the control system properly works with the timing.
● Be sure to carry out the wiring in the power supply OFF condition.
● All electrical wiring should conform to the regional electrical regulations and laws.
The wiring should be done by engineer(s) having the special electrical knowledge.
● Do not run the sensor wires together with high-voltage lines or power lines or put them
together in the same raceway. This can cause malfunction due to induction.
● In case of extending the cable of sensor safety liquid sensor SQ4-A series, use the cab
tire cable of 0.3mm
less.
● Do not control the device only at one control output 1 / 2 (OSSD 1 / 2).
● In order that the output is not turned ON due to earth fault of the control output 1 / 2
(OSSD 1 / 2) terminal, be sure to ground to 0V side (PNP output) / +24V side (NPN output).
♦ Maintenance
● When replacement parts are required, always use only genuine supplied replacement
parts. If substitute parts from another manufacturer are used, the device may not come
to detect, resulting in death or serious injury.
● The periodical inspection of this device must be performed by an engineer having the
special knowledge.
● After maintenance or adjustment, and before starting operation, test this device following
