• 

᜸ symbol indicates caution due to special circumstances in which hazards may occur.

᜸ Warning

  

Failure to follow instructions may result in serious injury or death.

01. 

Fail-safe device must be installed when using the unit with machinery that 

may cause serious injury or substantial economic loss. (e.g., nuclear power 

control, medical equipment, ships, vehicles, railways, aircraft, combustion 

apparatus, safety equipment, crime/disaster prevention devices, etc.) 

Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury, fire or economic loss.

02. 

 Do not use the unit in the place where flammable/explosive/corrosive gas, 

high humidity, direct sunlight, radiant heat, vibration, impact, or salinity

 

may be present.

 

Failure to follow this instruction may result in explosion or fire.

03.  Do not disassemble or modify the unit. 

Failure to follow this instruction may result in fire.

04. 

 Do not connect, repair, or inspect the unit while connected to a power source.

 

Failure to follow this instruction may result in fire.

05. 

 Check ‘Connections’ before wiring.

 

Failure to follow this instruction may result in fire.

᜸ Caution

  

Failure to follow instructions may result in injury or product damage.

01. 

 Use the unit within the rated specifications.

Failure to follow this instruction may result in fire or product damage.

02. 

 Use dry cloth to clean the unit, and do not use water or organic solvent.

Failure to follow this instruction may result in fire.

03. Keep metal chip, dust, and wire residue from flowing into the unit.

 

Failure to follow this instruction may result in fire or product damage.

04. 

 Do not disconnect connector or power, when the product is operating.

 

Failure to follow this instruction may result in fire or malfunction.

Cautions during Use

•  Follow instructions in 'Cautions during Use'. Otherwise, it may cause unexpected 

accidents.

•  24 VDCᜡ power supply should be insulated and limited voltage/current or Class 2, 

SELV power supply device.

•  Use only designated connector and do not apply excessive power when connecting 

or disconnecting the connectors.

•  Keep away from high voltage lines or power lines to prevent inductive noise.

 

In case installing power line and input signal line closely, use line filter or varistor at 

power line and shielded wire at input signal line.

 

Do not use near the equipment which generates strong magnetic force or high 

frequency noise.

•  Do not connect or disconnect the USB cable and RS485 cable quickly and repeatedly 

while communicating.

 

It may cause damage or malfunction of the product and PC.

•  After supplying power, connect with the communication output product. When 

disconnect, communication output product first and power last.

•  When connecting multiple SCM-WF48 units to a PC, number of COM port goes up in 

sequential order and it takes some time to identify and assign number of COM port.

•  When connecting the RS485 communication output product, connect the 

terminating resistance (120Ω, 1% (F) grade chip resistance, 1/4W) at each end of the 

communication cable.

•  Use twist pair wire for RS485 communication. If not, use A(+) and B(-) cables in the 

same length.

•  Use USB cable of designated standard, and do not use extension cable.
