  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 
ASTC-A Series 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 
which 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)  Note1: do not wire empty terminals. 
(6)  Note2: only use copper conducting wires with a temperature rating of 60/75°C and the length must 
be less than 50 m. 
(7)  Note3: TC modules must run for 30 minutes before they start to take any temperature measurement.

*1. Use shielded twisted pair cables for Type J, type K, type R, type S, type T, type E, type N 
and type B thermocouples, and keep them separate from power cables and other cables 
which generate noise.
