Note
- Please purchase the RS-232C cable and USB cable separately, since they are not included.
Product Installation
Prior to installing this product, attach the enclosed rubber feet (4 pieces) to the bottom surface of this product.
Caution
- This product is designed for indoor use. Use this product in a location where it is not exposed to rain and water. Exposure to rain and water may result in failure and electric shock.
- Install this product where the surface is stable and level. If this product is installed in an unstable location or on an incline, the product may fall, resulting in damage.
Wiring
WARNING
- Screw-less terminal blocks are used in this product; use wires which characteristics such as wire type, wire diameter, and strip length are observed as described in this manual. Failure to do so may cause contact failure, heat generation, and loose wires since the wire is not securely connected.
- Insert the entire conductive part of wire. If the stranded wire is sticking out from the slot inlet, or a bare wire touches the case, it may cause damage to the main unit by short circuit, or fire.
CAUTION
- Do not push the actuator part of terminal block too hard. Doing so may result in the damage to the Terminal Block and Main Unit.
- Use a straight RS-232C cable when connecting to the connection devices (PC). This product may malfunction and cause failure to the Main Unit and other connected devices if they are used together with other devices.
- Do not bundle the RS-232C and the USB cable with power supply cords when being used. Failure to comply may result in malfunction from power line noise.
- Do not connect the RS-232C and USB cables simultaneously. Failure to comply may result in malfunction.
Output Terminal Block Wiring
Wire the output terminal block according to the following steps.
Wiring Method
- Use a minus driver to push in the tab of the control unit’s output terminal block.
- Insert a signal line lead wire into the slot. (Keep pushing the tab while inserting)
- Release the minus driver to lock the lead wire in place.
CAUTION
- Do not connect AC power to the Output Terminal Block. Failure to comply may result in a short circuit and fire.
- Use the output terminal block within the rated capacity of contacts. Failure to comply may result in malfunction and possible fire.
- If the inrush load current exceeds the contact’s rated capacity, scorching and welding of the contacts may occur. Therefore, do not apply such a load.
Power Output Terminal Wiring
The Power Output Terminal can be used to control an external load when an AC
Adaptor is used. When using the Power Supply Output Terminal, wire in
accordance to the directions indicated below.
Wiring Method
- Use a minus driver to push in the tab of the control unit’s Power Output Terminal.
- Insert a lead wire into the slot. (Keep pushing the tab while inserting)
- Release the minus driver to lock the lead wire in place.
CAUTION
- Do not connect any voltage to the Power Output Terminal. Failure to comply will result in damage to the product and possible fire.
- Maintain the consumption current of the equipment linked to the Power Output Terminal so as to not exceed the ratings indicated below. Do not connect any equipment which consumes more current than the rated capacity. Failure to comply may result in malfunction or damage.
Note
- The power output terminal cannot be used if AC Adaptor is not connected. Be sure to connect the : AC Adaptor if you want to use the Power Output Terminal.
RS-232C Port Wiring
By connecting to the RS-232C (male) of this product and the RS-232C port of a PC with a -sub 9 pin female-to-female type cable with straight wire connection, this product can be controlled via RS-232C transmission.
- The RS-232C cable is not included. Please purchase it separately.
Caution
- Do not connect the RS-232C and USB cables simultaneously. Failure to comply may result in malfunction.
- Do not pull out or insert the RS-232C cable while the power supply is turned on.
USB Port Wiring
This product can be controlled by USB transmission by connecting a USB (Type
B) cable from the Main Unit to the USB port of a PC. Since this product can
operate on USB bus power, ii can be used without an AC adapter.
- The USB cable is not included. Please purchase it separately.
Note
- This product requires installation of a specialized driver for the PC before being connected to a PC via the USB. Go to our PATLITE homepage to download the installer.
caution
- Depending on the feeding power capability of the Main Unit or the USB port of the personal computer, operation may become unstable. Use an AC Adaptor if this condition occurs.
- Use this product by connecting the USB cable directly, without the use of a USB hub. Failure to comply may cause unstable operation.
- It is recommended to use a USB cable with a length of 2m or less. A cable longer than 2m may cause unstable operation due to noise from the surrounding environment.
- Do not connect the USB and RS-232C cables simultaneously. Failure to comply may result in malfunction.
- Do not insert or pull out the USB cable while the power supply is turned on.
Wiring Example
The internal contacts are non-voltage relay contacts. Operate it below a
contact capacity of 30VDC/3A.
In addition, since each contact is independent, different voltages can be
connected to the product for each contact.
The power output terminal can supply a maximum current of 24VDC/500mA.

Note
- The Power Output Terminal cannot be used if an AC Adaptor is not connected. Be sure to connect the AC Adaptor when using the Power Output Terminal.
Setup Test Mode
The Setup Test Mode can be used to control the Output Terminal only by this
product, to verify wiring, etc. With the use of the Setup Test Mode, the
operation of the link between the Output Terminal Block and the equipment can
be checked from this product.
The following is an explanation on the use of the Setup Test Mode:
-
The “Set” switch, located on the side of this product, has Switch 1 turned OFF, Switch 2 turned ON and Switch 3 turned OFF before the power is switched on.
-
Refer to the table below for the Output Terminal Block number to operate when selecting the “Set” switch. The Power LED turns on when the selected Output
Terminal Block is ON and turns off when the selected Output Terminal Block is OFF. -
If the “Clear” switch is pushed, in cases where the Output Terminal selected with the Mode Switch is OFF, it will change to ON, and in case it’s ON, will change to OFF.
-
To exit the Setup Test Mode, set all “Set” Switches in the OFF position to return to the “Normal Operation Mode” configuration and reapply the power.
Standard Operation
Turn on the power supply after confirming that all the set switches are off
for normal operation. The specification contents, protocols, and transmission
commands are described in the instruction manual.
Use this product after downloading the instruction manual from the product web
page and reading it thoroughly. II is necessary to create your own software,
since the control software for this product is not included. The specialized
driver needs to be installed if this product is to be control via USB.
