*1 In-rush current will flow for approximately 20msec after the power is turned on (at 40
°
C).
Note that the value of in-rush current differs depending on the impedance of the power supply line.
*2 Leak current varies depending on the capacity of connected motor, cable length and the surrounding environment. Measure the
leak current at the point where a ground fault circuit interrupter is to be installed when leakage protection is conducted.
A ground fault circuit interrupter needs to be selected carefully considering the purposes of prevention of fire and
protection of human.
Use the harmonic type (for inverter) for the ground fault circuit interrupter.
*3 It is not necessary to supply power to PIO when operating with using ROBONET, Gateway Unit or SIO Converter
without using PIO. In this case, set the parameter No. 74 (PIO Power Supply Monitor) to “1” (Invalid). It will generate
the error code No. 0CF (I/O 24V Power Supply Error) if the setting is not done.

Selection of Circuit Interrupter
•
3 times of the rated current flows to the controller during the acceleration/deceleration. Select an interrupter that does not trip
with this value of current. If a trip occurs, select an interrupter that possesses the rated current of one grade higher. (Refer to
the operation characteristics curves in the product catalog.)
•
Select an interrupter that does not trip with the in-rush current. (Refer to the operation characteristics curves in the product
catalog.)
•
Consider the current that enables to cutoff the current even when a short circuit current is flown for the rated cutoff current.

(Note 1) This is a reference for the case when the actuator is ran forward and backward on 1,000mm stroke with the
operation duty 50% under the rated acceleration/deceleration speed and rated load.
(Note 2) It is necessary to have the regenerative resistor listed above when the operation duty is above 50%.
The maximum quantity of the external regenerative resistor units that can be connected is as stated below:
•
2 units for less than 400W
•
4 units for 400W or more
(Note 3)
It is necessary to have one unit for LSA/LSAS-N10S Type.
