1. About the Product
This product is an analog input terminal that sends analog signals wirelessly in the Sub-
GHz band. Data is sent to Ethernet gateway (Master) of the Wireless I/O series.
With strength against obstacles, capability of long-distance communications, and mesh
support, it is suitable to control or monitor devices that are spread in the wide area.
4 channels of10-bit non-isolated analog input are equipped to support ±10V bipolar input.
* This product should always be used along with the Wireless I/O series terminal (Master).

which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate in-
jury or in property damage.
Handling Precautions
DANGER
Do not use the product in locations exposed to a flammable or corrosive gas. It may
cause explosion, fire, electrical shock, or malfunction.
CAUTION
This product contains precision electronic elements and must not be used in locations
subject to physical shock or strong vibration. Otherwise, the product may malfunction,
overheat, or cause a failure.
Do not use or store this product in high temperature or low temperature surroundings,
or do not expose it to extreme temperature changes. Otherwise, the product may mal-
function, overheat, or cause a failure.
Do not use or store this device where it is exposed to direct sunlight or near stoves or
other sources of heat. Otherwise, the product may malfunction, overheat, or cause a fail-
ure.
Do not use the product in the vicinity of devices that generate strong magnetic force or
noise. Otherwise, the product may malfunction, overheat, or cause a failure.
Do not turn on the power without first connecting the antenna. Otherwise, the product
may malfunction, overheat, or cause a failure. Before turning the power on, be sure to
check whether the antenna is securely connected.
The specifications of the product are subject to change without notice for enhancement

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
reconstruct the network system due to differences in areas such as the product specifi-
cations and functions.
When disposing of the product, follow the disposal procedures stipulated under the rel-

Power connector
Use the power connector, included in the package, to supply power (use the power cable
described below or equivalent one).
Attached connector: European type terminal 3.5 pitch 3-pin jack connector
Supplied connector: European type terminal 3.5 pitch 3-pin plug connector
Compatible cable: AWG28-16(Cable length should satisfy the power specification including
the cable volta
e drop)
Signal Name Description
V+ Power supply (12 - 24VDC±5%)
V- Power supply (GND)
FG Frame ground
When making the power cable, be sure to make the wiring correctly.
Especially, if the wrong housing pin number is used, it may cause malfunction or acci-
dents.
Input voltage range: 12 - 24VDC±5%
Use the power supply that rises within the input voltage range of 11.4 VDC or higher
and within 10 ms. Otherwise, the product may be damaged or cause a failure.
INIT button
Name Operation / function
INIT
This is used to initialize (restore the factory settings) the product. If this but-
ton is pressed for three seconds or longer, LED of WLINK starts flashing in
orange. If the button is released before the flashing stops, all the settings of
the product are restored to the factor
settin
s after rebootin
the product.
*When initializing the product with INIT button, flashing continues for a while. This indi-
cates that files in the built-in memory are being removed. If you turn off the power be-
fore flashing stops, the files in the built-in memory are damaged and this might prevent
the product from booting properly. Always reboot the product after flashing stops.
