Safety Precautions

Do not use the product where corrosive or volatile gases are present, there may 

occasionally be a risk of explosion.

Usable life of output relay is determined by switch condition. According the actual 

usage, use product within its rated load and electrical life expectancy. If using product 

beyond its life expectancy, its contacts may become fused or there may be a risk of 

fire.

This may occasionally cause electric shock, fire or malfunction. Never disassemble, 

repair or modify the product.

This may occasionally cause electric shock, fire or malfunction. Do not allow metal 

fragments or lead wire scraps to fall inside this product. 

Make sure that the supply voltage and signal connection is correct before power is 

supplied, otherwise the product may be damaged.

Do not touch the input terminals or repair the product while power is supplied.This may 

cause electric shock.
