Notes
1) The electric characteristic of polyvinyl chloride is inferior to
polyethylene, so the maximum communication distance is
short.
2) Twisted pair cable should be a shielded type.
3) Use only one type of communication cable, i.e. do not mix
cable types.
4) Twisted pair cable should especially be used in an
environment with extensive noise.
5) If AFP3740, AFP87441, AFP87442, AFP3741 are in the network,
the communication distance should be limited as stated
above.
5.3.5 Terminal Pin Layout
Each and terminal is connected internally. The ground terminal is
connected internally to the power supply’s top pin on the side of the unit.
Using relayed wiring, the ingoing cable should be connected to the upper
terminal and the outgoing cable should be connected from the lower
terminal (see page 5-7).
