Notes
(1) Extension bases unit of up to seven stages can be used.
(2) Do not use extension cable longer than an overall extension length of 13.2m(43.31ft.).
(3) When using an extension cable, do not bind it together with the main circuit (high voltage and
heavy current) line or do not lay down them closely to each other.
(4) When setting the No. of the expansion stages, set it in the ascending order so that the same
No. is not set simultaneously by two extension base units.
(5) When Q5 B, Q6 B and QA1S6 B types of extension base units are mixed, first connect the
Q5 B, Q6 B type and then connect the QA1S6 B type.
When setting the No. of the extension stages, set it from Q5 B/Q6 B in order.
Although there are no particular restrictions in the order of the installation of the Q5 B and
Q6 B, refer to Section 6.6 for usability.
(6) Connect the extension cable from OUT of the extension cable connector of the base unit to IN
of the extension base unit on the next stage.
(7) If 65 or more modules are installed, an error will occur.
