Notes about installation and wiring
•
Connect the motor, driver and other peripheral control equipment directly to the grounding point so as to prevent a
potential dierence from developing between grounds.
•
When relays or electromagnetic switches are used together with the system, use noise lters and CR circuits to
suppress surges generated by them.
•
Keep a power supply cable and a signal cable as short as possible without coiling and bundling extra lengths.
•
Separate power lines such as the motor cable and the power supply cable from signal lines, and wire them apart as
much as possible [example: about 100 to 200 mm (3.94 to 7.87 in.)]. If the power lines must cross over the signal lines,
wire them at right angles.

Precautions about static electricity
Static electricity may cause the driver to malfunction or suer damage. Be careful of handling the driver while the power
is supplied.
Note
•
Do not approach or touch the driver while the power is supplied.
•
Always use an insulated screwdriver to set the address number setting switch and the termination resistor switch of
the driver.
