Figure of series connection
If a series connection cable has been cut or extended, it is not allowed to be used for the
SL-V. Use of a cut or extended cable may cause the safety function not to operate properly
and may cause a dangerous situation.
Cable length specification
When using the unit connection cable, junction cable and extension cable together, the sum of the length
for all the cables must be 30 m or less. This limitation is applicable to each unit, transmitter and receiver,
respectively. Since up to 3 of the SL-V units can be connected in series, up to 2 sets of series connection
cables are possible. Two sets of the SL-VS10 cables (cable length: 10 m) can be used. In this case, the
sum length of all types of cables, including the series connection cable, must be 50 m or less. This limi-
tation is also applicable to each unit, transmitter and receiver, respectively.
Cables must be within the lengths specified. Failure to follow this specification may cause
improper operation of safety function, and may cause a dangerous situation.
