4.HANDLING
4-1 General Caution and Preparation Prior to Operation
1)This instrument should be used at an ambient temperature between
0 and 50℃ and humidity of 85% or less, paying special attention
to dew condensation.
2)It must be used in an environment free of dust, dirt, gases and
chemicals harmful to electronic components.
3)Care should be taken to prevent vibration and shock.
4-2 Mounting
1)Panel mounting
Make a rectangular cutout as shown in Fig.1, insert the
instrument in the panel as shown in Fig.2, and then fully push
the instrument into the panel (It’s recommended that panel
thickness be from 1 to 4mm.)
2)Removal of the PC board
Insert a screwdriver into the center on bottom of the meter and
twist so that the front panel comes. Then, push the printed
circuit board from the back and pull it out from the front.
(Fig.3)
(2)Removal of the PC board
Insert a screwdriver into the center on bottom of the meter and
twist so that the front panel comes off. Then, push the printed
circuit board from the back and pull it out from the front.
(fig.3)
4-3 Connector Connection
Insert the attached cardedage connector at the rear of the
indicator. The connector is provided with an insertion key to make
sure that it is not connected upside down. After insertion,
tighten both sides with the attached screws.
1)Power connection
Connect power to connector terminals Nos. 17 or U and 18 or V(+).
Use a DC voltage of 5V±10% (AI-406-11, AI-406-12) and 12V±10%
(AI-406-22)
(Note that because this instrument is not provided with a power
supply switch, it starts operating when power is supplied.)

2)Decimal point setting
The decimal point can be set to any position when the following
connector terminals are shorted. However, because the decimal is
not set prior to shipment, it must be set at the appropriate
position by the customer. Leading zero suppression must also be
set if required.
3)Input connection
Connect an input signal (BCD parallel signal) as the following
connector diagram shows. Use a short connection cable and 2-core
shielded cable near a signal source.
