Operating environment
- Do not use the product in an environment where the product is constantly exposed to water splashes.
Otherwise failure or malfunction can result. Take measures such as using a cover.
- Do not use in an environment where the product could be exposed to corrosive gas or liquids.
Otherwise damage to the internal parts can result, causing malfunction.
- Do not use the product in a place where the product could be splashed by oil or chemicals.
If the product is to be used in an environment containing oils or chemicals such as oily coolant or cleaning solvent,
even for a short time, it may be adversely affected (damage, malfunction, or hardening of the lead wires).
- Do not use in an area where surges are generated.
When there are machines or equipment that generate large surges near the product (magnetic type lifter, high
frequency inductive furnace, motor, etc.), this can result in deterioration and damage of the internal elements. Take
measures against the surge sources, and prevent the lines from coming into close contact.
- Do not use a load which generates surge voltage.
When a surge-generating load such as a relay or solenoid is directly driven, use the product with a surge
absorbing element built-in.
- The product is CE marked, but not immune to lightning strikes. Take measures against lightning strikes
in the system.
- Mount the product in a location that is not affected by vibration or impact.
Failure or malfunction may result.
- Do not use the product in the presence of a magnetic field.
Malfunction can result.
- Do not let foreign matter, such as wire debris, get inside the product.
Failure or malfunction may result.
- Do not use the product in an environment that is exposed to temperature cycle.
Heat cycles other than ordinary changes in temperature can adversely affect the internal components of the
product.
- Do not expose the product to direct sunlight.
If using in a location directly exposed to sunlight, protect the product from the sunlight.
Failure or malfunction may result.
- Keep within the specified operating temperature range.
The operating temperature range is 0 to 50°C.
Avoid abrupt temperature changes even within the specified temperature range.
Failure or malfunction may result.
- Do not use close to a heat source, or in a location exposed to radiant heat.
The heat may cause operation failure.
