Use the CONFIG settings to specify what happens when a protection function is activated and the output
is turned off. You can select to turn the output on automatically when the problem that caused the alarm
is fixed (CF03: Auto) or to leave the output turned off when the problem that caused the alarm is fixed
(CF03:SAFE). The specified protection operation is the same for the OHP, FAN, and AC-FAIL alarms.
You cannot make separate settings for the OHP, FAN, and AC-FAIL alarms.

J2 connector on the rear panel. Photocoupler open collector output; maximum voltage 30 V, maximum
current (sink) 8 mA; isolated from the output and control circuits; status commons are floating (withstand
voltage of less than or equal to 60 V); and status signals are not mutually isolated.
