Mounting the Amplifier and Wiring

■

Mounting the amplifier

● GT2-500 (Main unit)

Fit the tab of the lower part of the main unit to
the DIN rail. While inserting the main unit in
the direction of Arrow (1), push the body down
in the direction of Arrow (2).

To detach the amplifier, while pushing the main unit in the direction of
Arrow (1), pull the body up in the direction of Arrow (3).

● GT2-550 (Expansion unit)

The expansion unit can only be used in addition to the main unit.
Up to 2 expansion units can be added to one main unit.

Mount the expansion unit to be added to the DIN rail.

Push and fix the expansion unit to the connector of the main unit until it clicks.

Mount the end units (OP-26751: a set of two pieces) sold separately on
both sides of the amplifiers (the main unit and the expansion unit),
then fix the end units with screws on the upper part of each end unit (2
points x 2 units).
The mounting method of the end unit is the same as that of the amplifier.

■

Connecting to DL Series Communication Units

For details on communication methods, see the DL Series manuals.

Attach the DL Series to the DIN rail and connect it to the amplifier.

Attach 1 end unit (OP-26751: 2 units) to the side of the amplifier, and 1
to the side of the DL Series Communication Unit. Attach using the
screws on top of the end units (2 screws on each unit).

NOTICE

• The M8 L-shaped connector type cable cannot be

used with the GT2-H32(L)/H50/A32/A50.

• When a protection rating of IP67G and NEMA Type

13 enclosure is required for GT2-P12K(F)/P12(F),
or a protection rating of IP67G is required for GT2-
PA12K/GT2-PA12 use an M8 oil-resistant straight
connector type cable. Other cables do not meet the
IP67G protection rating or NEMA Type 13
enclosure rating.

NOTICE

• When adding an amplifier (expansion unit), be sure

the power of both main and expansion units is OFF
before operation. Mounting when the power is ON
may damage the equipment.

• Be sure to completely connect an expansion unit to

a main unit. Oblique or improper connections may
damage the equipment.

NOTICE

Refer to the illustration on
the right to check that the
sensor amplifier
connection connector (for
attaching to DIN rails) on
the side of the DL Series
Communication Unit is
not bent. Connecting to
the sensor amplifier with a bent connector can lead to
equipment damage.
