1.  Do not install the product in locations subjected to the following conditions:

Direct sunlight or near heaters

Condensation caused by high humidity

Sudden changes in humidity

Cold conditions that may cause freezing

Presence of corrosive or flammable gases

Direct vibration or shock

Build-up of dust or metal chips

Spraying by organic solvents, water, oil or other liquids

Strong magnetic or electric field

Reflection of intense light (such as other laser beams or electric arc-welding 
machines) or generation of strong electromagnetic waves

2.  Power Supply and Wiring

This product is exclusively for the controller corresponding to ZG-RPD. Connect 
it to the RS-232C connector of the controller corresponding to ZG-RPD for use.

This product will not function or will break down if it is connected to a device 
other than the controller corresponding to ZG-RPD.

Do not reverse connect the power supply for the load or connect to an AC power supply.

Open-collector outputs should not be short-circuited.

High-voltage lines and power lines must be wired separately from this product. 
Wiring them together or placing them in the same duct may cause induction, 
resulting in malfunction or damage.

When using a commercially available switching regulator, make sure that the FG 
(Frame Ground) terminal is grounded.

If surge currents are present in the power lines, connect surge absorbers that suit 
the operating environment.

Before connecting/disconnecting peripheral devices, make sure that the Data 
Storage Unit is turned OFF. The Data Storage Unit may break down if it is 
connected or disconnected while the power is ON. 

Precautions for Correct Use

Connect the Real-time Parallel Output Unit to the RS-232C connector of the 
controller corresponding to ZG-RPD for use.
The measurements results of the controller corresponding to ZG-RPD are converted 
to 16-bit binary data(two’s complement) before they are output.
