Connecting the Power Supply
This section describes the precautions for supplying a power voltage.
• If the supplied voltage exceeds the PS-A unit’s range,
connect a constant voltage transformer.
• For between the line and ground or between the lines,
select a power supply that is low in noise. If there is an
excess amount of noise, connect a insulating trans-
former.
• When supplying power to the PS-A unit, please
separate the input/output and operation unit lines, as
shown.
• To increase the noise resistance quality of the power
cord, it is recommended to attach a ferrite core to the
power cord.
• The power supply cable must not be bundled or
positioned close to main circuit lines (high voltage,
high current), or input/output signal lines.
• Connect a lightening surge absorber, as shown in the
diagram, to deal with power surges.
• To avoid excess noise, make the power cord as short as
possible.
SEE
• Use constant voltage and
insulating transformers with
capacities of 200VA or more.
• Be sure to ground the surge
absorber (E1) separately from
the PS-A unit (E2).
• Select a surge absorber that has
a maximum circuit voltage
greater than that of the peak
voltage of the power supply.
