• Turn the power supply off before making any
wire connections.
• Install the unit in a location that is not exposed to
direct sunlight and that is characterized by an
ambient temperature of -10 to +55˚C and by an
ambient humidity of 35 to 85% RH. Avoid
installation in locations prone to rapid
temperature changes.
• Always connect the protective conductor
terminal to the protective earthing line in your
building or other facility.
• Use the power supply unit only inside a control
board.
• Use the following crimp terminals, which are
compatible with M4 terminal screws.

How to connect wires
Read the following precautions before connecting any
wires to the unit. Follow these tips when wiring the unit.
(1) Twisting cables will decrease the effects of
induction.
(2) Introducing a 1:1 isolation transformer or noise filter
into the line will decrease power line noise.
(3) Make wire lengths as short as possible. Separate
wires from power lines and signal lines that contain
noise.
Isolation transformer,
noise filter, etc.

The SL-U2 is installed to the left of the SL-R11 or SL-R12EX.
The connector is covered with a seal to protect it, so remove the seal before making the connection.
The connection methods are as follows.
[1] When mounting on a DIN rail
1. Refer to the figure above, and peel off the power
supply connector seal.
2. Mount both the SL-R11 (SL-R12EX) and SL-U2 to
the DIN rail.
3. Slide one of the units to connect them both together.
4. Slide the SL-U2 connection hooks to fasten the
units together.
[2] When mounting on the wall with screws
1. Refer to the figure above, and peel off the power
supply connector seal.
2. Refer to the figure above, and connect the two units.
3. Slide the SL-U2 connection hooks to fasten the units
together.
4. Use M4 screws tightened to a torque of 0.7 N•m to
mount both of the units to the wall.
*LED indicator patterns are as follows:
LED No. 1 Green ON during voltage output
LED No. 2 Green Output current at least 30%
LED No. 3 Green Output current at least 50%
LED No. 4 Green Output current at least 60%
LED No. 5 Green Output current at least 70%
LED No. 6 Red Overcurrent detected
When the yellow LED No. 5 is on, the current being used is approaching
the power supply’s capacity. Consider the use of an additional power
supply.
