Connecting the Power Supply
This section describes the precautions for supplying a power voltage.
• If the supplied voltage exceeds the PS-A unit’s range,
connect a constant voltage transformer.
• For between the line and ground, select a power supply
that is low in noise. If there is an excess amount of noise,
connect an insulating transformer.
• When supplying power to the PS-A unit, be sure to
separate the input/output and power lines, as shown.
• To increase the noise resistance quality of the power
cord, simply twist each power wire before attaching the
Ring Terminal.
• The power supply cable must not be bundled or
positioned close to main circuit lines (high voltage, high
current), or input/output signal lines.
• Connect a lightening surge absorber, as shown in the
diagram, to deal with power surges.
• To avoid excess noise, make the power cord as short as
possible.
• PS-3711A Series 24V DC input unit is must be used
with a Class 2 power supply.
SEE
Chapter 2 "Specifications"
• Use constant voltage and
insulating transformers with
capacities exceeding Power
Consumption value.
• Be sure to ground the surge
absorber (E1) separately from the
PS-A unit (E2).
• Select a surge absorber that has
a maximum circuit voltage greater
than that of the peak voltage of
the power supply.
