• The torque required to tighten these

screws is 0.5 to 0.6N

•m.

• To prevent the possibility of a terminal

short, use a pin terminal that has an
insulating sleeve.

Power Supply Cautions

• Input and Output signal lines must be

separated from the power control cables
for operational circuits.

• To improve the noise resistance, be sure to

twist the ends of the power cord wires
before connecting them to the Power
connector (Plug).

• The PS-B unit’s power supply cord should

not be bundled with or kept close to main
circuit lines (high voltage, high current), or
input/output signal lines.

• To reduce noise, make the power cord as

short as possible.

• If the supplied voltage exceeds the PS-B

unit’s range, connect a voltage transformer.

• Between the line and the ground, be sure to

use a low noise power supply. If there is an
excess amount of noise, connect a noise
reducing transformer.

• The temperature rating of field installed

conductors: 75

°C only.

• Use voltage and noise reducing

transformers with capacities exceeding
Power Consumption value.

• Must be used with a Class 2 Power

Supply. (24VDC)

• Connect a surge absorber to handle

power surges.

• Be sure to ground the surge absorber

(E1) separately from the PS-B unit
(E2). Select a surge absorber that has

a maximum circuit voltage greater than
that of the peak voltage of the power
supply.

Grounding Cautions

• Be sure to create an exclusive ground for

the Power Cord’s FG terminal. Use a
grounding resistance of 100

Ω, a wire of

2mm

2

or thicker, or your country’s

applicable standard.

• The SG (signal ground) and FG (frame

ground) terminals are connected internally
in the PS-B unit.
When connecting the SG line to another
device, be sure that the design of the
system/connection does not produce a
shorting loop.

• The grounding wire should have a cross

sectional area greater than 2mm

2

. Create

the connection point as close to the PS-B
unit as possible, and make the wire as
short, as possible. When using a long
grounding wire, replace the thin wire with
a thicker wire, and place it in a duct.
