6. Installation
Installation on DIN rail.
Hook the indicator-side tab on the DIN rail (
①
),
and then press down until the hook locks (
②
).
Removal
While pressing the main unit in the direction of (
①
),
lift the indicator side (
②
) to remove the main unit.
Inter-connecting with fiber amplifiers and displace-
ment sensor amplifier units
To inter-connect all the units, slide the fiber amplifiers and displacement sensor amplifier
units along the DIN rail that the UC2 is attached to.

CAUTION
●
Be sure to turn off the power before performing this work.
●
When inter-connecting, check the ambient temperature and use the units within the
operating range for the ambient temperature.
●
To prevent short-circuits, be sure to attach the included protective caps for connector
types of fiber amplifiers to connecting terminals that are not in use. For cable types,
prevent lead wires that are not in use from connecting to the other terminals by, for
example, cutting these lead wires and wrapping them individually with insulating tape.
●
Do not remove these units/amplifiers from the DIN rail while multiple units are inter-con-
nected.
Installing end plates (sold separately)
To prevent the inter-connected units from coming loose, attach end plates (sold sepa-
rately; model: BEF-EB01-W190) to the DIN rail so that they surround the inter-connected
units and fix the end plates in place with screws.
Orient the end plates so that the product side is against the unit and the fiber amplifi-
ers, making sure to attach the left and right sides in opposite orientations. Attach the end
plates by hooking the notched side on the DIN rail first, as shown in the following diagram.
Use a tightening torque of 0.9 N·m or less.

Product side
CAUTION
When inter-connecting the unit to D3RF/D3WF/D4RF series fiber amplifiers and to CDA
series displacement sensor amplifier units, be sure to connect the inter-connection main
unit on the left end (ID = 1). If an inter-connection expansion unit is connected on the left
end, the inter-connection connector will be exposed, causing interference with the end
plate. Also, fouling on or damage to the inter-connection connector may damage the fiber
amplifiers.

7. Connecting
Connecting the connector cable (sold separately)
Use M84CN-

S M8 connector cable to connect to the IO-Link master unit.
Check the orientation of the connector pins on the unit side and on the connector cable
side and attach the cable correctly.

S
Tightening torque: 0.4 N·m or less
The UC2 operates with a supply voltage of 18 to 24 VDC (12 to 24 VDC in SIO mode).
Be sure to check the wiring to the IO-Link master unit and to the power supply device
because incorrect wiring may cause a fire or damage the product.
