(5) Grounding
CAUTION
Be sure to connect the protective grounding of the 
AXFA11 with a cable of 2mm
2
 or larger cross section 
in order to avoid electrical shock to the operators and 
maintenanceengineersandtopreventtheinuence
of external noise. Connect the grounding wire to the 
mark 
(100Ωorless).
IMPORTANT
When optional code A (lightning protector) is selected, 
the ground should satisfy Class C requirements 
(groundingresistance,10Ωorless).
•  The protective grounding terminals 
 are located on 
the inside and outside of the terminal area.
Either terminal may be used.
•  Use 600 V vinyl insulation wires as the grounding 
wires.

(6)  Connecting to External Instruments
WARNING
 
Before wiring with external instrument, be sure to turn 
off the power supply for AXFA11 converter and any 
external instruments.
Connect the AXFA11 terminal to external instruments, 
giving attention to the following points.

IMPORTANT
•  As this is a transistor contact (insulated type), 
give attention to proper voltage and polarity when 
wiring.
•  Do not apply a voltage larger than 30V DC or 
a current larger than 0.2A in order to prevent 
damage to the instrument.
• Wheninputlterconstantoftheelectroniccounter
is large in relation to the pulse width, the signal will 
decrease and the count will not be accurate.
•  If the input impedance of the electronic counter is 
large, an induction noise from the power supply 
may result in inaccurate counts. Use a shield 
cableorsufcientlyreducetheinputimpedanceof
the electronic counter within the electromagnetic 
owmeterpulseoutputspecicationrange.
•  The active pulse output (Optional code EM) cannot 
be used in conjunction with the standard pulse 
output.
•  When the active pulse output (Optional code 
EM) is selected, do not be short-circuit between 
the P+ and P– terminals to avoid damaging the 
instrument.
•  When the active pulse output (Optional code EM) 
is selected, the range of pulse rate must be set to 2 
pps maximum.
•  To avoid communication (BRAIN/ HART) failure, it 
is recommended to use the shield cable.
