The product must always be associated with the instruction manual.
When the product is used in a place that is affected by overcurrent or overvoltage (light-
ning surge), select appropriate surge protection device for all of the route (Power line,
earth, etc.). Consult with the specialist regarding selecting, purchasing, and setting the
surge protection device.
Bringing this product too close to a metal/concrete wall (including steel frames) may
cause the communication quality to deteriorate.
If a wireless device that uses the same channel (wireless frequency) as this product exists
in the area where communication is possible, a drop in the transmission speed or com-
munication quality may occur in certain situations, which may make it impossible to per-
form normal communication.
Modifications to the built-in wireless equipment are prohibited by law.
In some medical institutions and laboratories, radio-sensitive precision instruments are
used and it may be prohibited to use radio equipment.
The use of antennas other than that included with the product is prohibited by law.
The radio waves used by this product pass through obstacles (such as walls) and reach
all locations within a given area. If the security settings are not configured, communica-
tion may be intercepted by a third party.
This product is equipped with a security function, so be sure to configure the security
settings prior to use in order to reduce security problems.
This product may not perform normal wireless communication due to factors such as the
installation environment, the setup, and the communication load of the network.
Perform a verification in advance in an environment that matches your usage application
to check that there are no problems.
For the introduction and installation of this product, hire a system integrator or other
specialist who is well-versed in the construction of network systems.
When you are switching to this product from another model, it may be necessary to

Installing and Connecting
Read and understood the cautions below to install the product.
- If there is metal around antenna, it affects antenna characteristics.
Do not place metal near the antenna if possible.
- This product can be mounted on DIN rail with a DIN rail installing bracket of the
optional. Refer to the bundled manual of DIN rail installing bracket for details.
Connecting an antenna
(1) With the antenna in straight condition, set it to the connector.
(2) Decide the bending direction and turn the product to fasten. Hold the root of the
antenna to prevent it from turning around.
(3) Be certain that the antenna is not loosely set, bend it in the desired direction.
Input circuit
Single-ended input and differential input are used for analog signal input.
Analog signal input of this product uses single-ended input fixed.
The following examples show how to connect analog input signals using a flat cable and a
shielded cable.
The following figure shows an example of flat cable connection.
Connect signal source and the ground to each analog input channel of interface.
* Input terminal is AI-xx.
The following figure shows an example of shield cable connection.
Use shielded cable if the distance between the signal source and the product is long or if
you want to provide better protection from noise.
For each analog input channel, connect the core wire to the signal line and connect the
shielding to ground.
* Input terminal is AI-xx.
If the signal source contains over 1MHz signals, the signal may affect the cross-talk
noise between channels.
If the product and the signal source receive noise or the distance between the product
and the signal source is relatively long, data may not be input accurately due to the
connection.
An input analog signal should not exceed the maximum input voltage (related to the
product analog ground). If it exceeds the maximum voltage, the product may be
damaged.
When an input terminal is unconnected, the conversion data is undefined. Connect all
the unused analog input channels to analog ground.
