     SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  (Always read these precautions prior to use.) Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals introduced in this manual carefully and pay full attention to safety to ensure that the product is used correctly. The precautions presented in this manual are concerned with this product only.
  • Page 3 CAUTION  When installing the RFID interface module and amplifier/antenna cables, do not bundle the cables with or install the cables close to the main circuit, power lines, or the like. Be sure to separate the cables and lines by about 100mm or more. Failure to do so will cause noise, resulting in malfunction.
  • Page 4 CAUTION  Fully mount the antenna cable to the module connector. After mounting, check for separation. Insufficient contact results in the risk of erroneous input and output.  Be sure to place the communication cables and power cables connected to the module in a duct, or secure them with clamps.
  • Page 5 CAUTION  After product use begins, be sure the number of times the terminal block is installed and removed does not exceed 50 (JIS B 3502 compliant). Exceeding 50 results in the risk of malfunction.  Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used in the system before cleaning or tightening terminal screws or module screws.
