12.2.5.   Wiring 
  Precautions 
To ensure the positioning module functions well and reliably, the external wiring must prevent noise. 
Before you install the cables, follow the precautions below. 
(1)  To prevent a surge and induction, the AC cable and the input signal cables that are connected to the 
AS02/04PU-A must be separate cables. 
(2)  Do not install the cable near a main circuit, a high-voltage cable, or a cable connected to a load that 
is not a PLC. In addition, the cable must not be bound to a main circuit, a high-voltage cable, or a 
cable connected to a load which is not a PLC. 
(3)  Ground shielded cables and hermetically sealed cables separately. 
(4)  Terminals with insulation sleeves cannot be arranged as a terminal block, so you should cover the 
terminals with insulation tubes. 
(5)  Use single-core cables or twin-core cables with a diameter of 24–22 AWG and with pin-type 
connectors smaller than 1 mm. The plastic jackets that are removed from the cables should be 8 
mm to 10 mm long. Only use copper conducting wires which can withstand temperatures of 60° C 
/75° C or higher. 
 
(6)  Note: use cables with the same length (less than 200 m) and use wire resistance of less than 100 
ohm. 
(7)    Notes on two-wire, three-wire, and four-wire connections: 
  Two-wire connection/three-wire connection (passive transducer): connect the transducer and 
the analog input module to the same power circuit. 
  Four-wire connection (active transducer): the transducer uses an independent power supply, so 
do not connect it to the same power circuit as the analog input module.
