1.  MOUNTING METHOD

 CAUTION

Insert/pull out the main unit into/from the socket 

vertically to the face of socket. Otherwise the terminals 

are bent and it may cause a bad contact.

1.1  Wall Mounting

Loosen the main unit-fixing screw of the product and pull out the 

main unit from the socket. Fix the socket on the wall with screws. 

Next, insert the main unit into the socket and fasten the main unit 

with the main unit-fixing screw.

1.3  Mounting Using

When using a multi-mounting base, see the User's Manual for 

VJCE (VJCE Mounting Base).

1.4  Using a Duct

When using a wiring duct, install the duct at least 30 mm away 

from the top and bottom faces of the main unit.

2.  INSTALLATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL 

CONDITIONS

 • Avoid the following environments for installation locations: 

Areas with vibration, corrosive gases, dust, water, oil, solvents, 

direct sunlight, radiation, a strong electric field, and/or a strong 

magnetic field, altitude of more than 2000m above sea level, 

outdoors.

 • If there is any risk of a surge being induced into the power 

line and/or signal lines due to lightning or other factors, a 

dedicated lightning arrester should be used as protection for 

both this converter and a field-installed device.

 • Use indoors at an altitude of 2000 m or less.

 • Operating temperature/humidity range: 0 to 50 ºC/5 to 90%RH 

(no condensation)

3.  EXTERNAL WIRING

 WARNING

Be sure to turn OFF the power supply before wiring to 

avoid the risk of electric shock. Use a tester or similar 

device to ensure that no power is being supplied to a 

cable to be connected.

 CAUTION

When power of VJP8 is turned on/off, one pulse may 

be counted by the pulse input device which connects 

to the VJP8.

Wiring should be connected to the terminals on the socket 

of the product.  The terminals for external connections are of 

M3 screws. Use crimp-on terminal lugs for connections to the 

terminals.

 • Recommended cables: A nominal cross-sectional area of 

0.5 mm

2

 or thicker for signal cables, and that of 1.25 mm

2

 or 

thicker for power cables.

 CAUTION

 

Do not use output-2 for the single-output type.

 

The power line and input/output signal lines should 

be installed away from noise-generating sources. 

Other wise accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

 

Make sure to earth ground the ground terminal 

through minimum resistance. The length and 

thickness of the grounding cable should be as short 

and thick as possible. Directly connect the lead from 

the ground terminal (terminal no. 8) of the product to 

the ground. Do not carry out daisy-chained inter-

ground terminal wiring.

 

Use of the product ignoring the specifications may 

cause overheating or damage. Before turning on the 

power, ensure the following:

 • Power supply voltage and input signal value 

applied to the product should meet the required 

specifications.

 •

The external wiring to the terminals and wiring to 

ground are as specifications.
