WARNING

  • At the wiring of products, be sure to cut off the power source. There is a risk of electrical shock.
  • Pay attention not to mistake wiring work. If wiring is mistaken, the internal circuit may burn out and it will become a cause of fire.

CAUTION

  • Be sure to connect the external fuse for protection of the power supply circuit and the internal circuit of the product.
  • The terminal screws should be fastened with the recommended tightening torque (0.3N • m). Otherwise, there is a risk of damage by short-circuit, after wiring comes off.

Request

  • Before switching on the power supply, confirm that the wiring is correctly performed.
    For countermeasures of noise, it is recommended to perform wiring as short as possible and to use shielded wires. In addition, if a signal line is passing along high voltage cables or its wiring is located at the place likely to receive induction noise, there is a risk of malfunction by the effect of noise.

  • If a no-voltage contact such as a relay or a switch etc. is used for the power supply line, select the contact for which rush current is considered. If capacity is insufficient, it will become a cause of welding (deposition) of the contact and/or malfunction.

  • The use of M3 ring terminals with the insulating coating is recommended for the wiring of the terminal block to prevent the disconnection of wires. Recommended product: N1.25-3 (Product confirming to RoHS)

Other Precautions
• If the power supply or signal lines are switched on simultaneously at the use of plural units, a shift of playing the voice period will occur.
• BDV-15JF comes to receive the influence of the noise easily if you connect the OV terminal to the terminal COM.
