3.2.7  Wiring 
  Precautions 
To ensure the analog-to-digital 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 
module 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 in a diameter of 24 AWG–22 AWG with pin-type connectors 
smaller than 1 mm. Use only copper conducting wires that can resist temperatures above 60° C-75° C. 
 
 
(6)  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. 
(7)  Note: use cables with the same length (less than 200 m) and use wire resistance of less than 100 ohm.
