(b) Methods for reducing voltage drops
The following methods are effective to reduce voltage drops at the extension cables.
1) Changing the module loading positions
Load large current consumption modules on the main base unit.
Load small current consumption modules on the extension base unit (Q5B).
2) Using short extension cables
The shorter the extension cable is, the smaller the resistance and voltage drops will be.
Use the shortest possible extension cables.
(2) When the base unit is Q3SB:
Keep the current consumption of the slim type main base unit (Q3SB) not exceeding the 5VDC rated output
current of the slim type power supply module (Q61SP).
(3) When the base unit is Q3RB or Q6RB
