Troubleshooting for output circuit
A load momentarily turns on when the external power supply is powered on
■Cause
An incorrect output occurs due to the stray capacitance (C) between collector and emitter of a photocoupler.
There is no problem with the normal load. When a high sensitivity load (such as solid state relay) is used, however, this 
incorrect output may occur.
When the external power supply is powered on rapidly, the current (Ic) flows due to the stray capacitance (C) between 
collector and emitter of a photocoupler.
The current (Ic) flows to the gate of the transistor (Tr1) of the next stage and the output Y0 turns on for approximately 100s.
