(2) Notes on load
a) Load with small current or sensitive load sometimes
disables off-function as the product maintains
on-condition resulting from off st ate leakage current. In
such cases, connect shunt resistance (Rp) to be parallel
with load and reduce off state leakage current applied
on the load.
Shunt resistance (Rp) <
I
× RL
ILEK I
IR: Load off current RL: Load impedance
ILEK: Off state leakage current
b) The product is designed for the purpose of co ntrolling
resistance load. If the load has larger inductance,
current phase delays comparing to voltage and may
cause disoperation when changing the current flow.
Please allow your time to pre-check the function.
(3) Operation
a) The product controls output proportional to the input
rating (4 to 20 mA DC) by adopting zero-cross control
system.
The product is available for use without analog input by
applying external vol ume a djuste r.
b) The Ramp-up/Ramp-down (Soft start) function can be
used to suppress rapid change in output voltage by
changing the output slowly in cas e of a rapid change in
the output due to input signal ch anges.

3. Notes on electric circuit design
(1) Protective circuit on output side
a) The product is composed of semi-conductor elements
and there is a possibility that the unit fails due t o surge
voltage and overcurrent. Failures are generally caused
by short circuit and it becomes uncontrollable when load
is at on state. It is, therefore, more secured to u se the
product with breaker or contactor as the protective
circuit.
b) Output element damages if output side has short-current
or overcurrent.
