IMPORTANT
Terminating resistor
• Do not connect any terminating resistor in the communication path.
Doing so might cause the communication failure.
• Even though any units requiring the terminating resistor in the
communication path, do not connect any terminating resistor.
Handling Precautions
• Do not connect DA and DB. Doing so might cause damage to this unit.
• Ground the shield line to one point on one end of the cable.
• Be sure to connect SG terminals each other.
Failure to do so might cause unstable communications.
