Replace the battery as follows:
1. Turn off the power to the Unit. If the power is off to begin with, turn it on
and wait for at least 10 seconds. Then turn it off.
2. Using a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the 4 screws, remove the cover from
the Unit, lifting it from the left.
3. Pull the battery from the holder and install the new one within five minutes.

Load Circuit Fuses
A fuse in the load circuit will protect the output elements, circuit board, etc., in
the event of a short in the output device.

When two-wire sensors, such as photoelectric sensors and proximity sen-
sors, or limit switches with neon lamp are connected to the CPU as input de-
vices, the input signal may be erroneously turned ON by a leakage current
over 1.5 A. To prevent this, connect a bleeder resistor as shown below.
Determine the resistance of the bleeder resistor by the following equation,
where I is the leakage current.
