*1. Use of the Spatter Protection Cover causes a 10% maximum sensing distance attenuation.
*2. The consumption current must not exceed 1.35 A for both the control outputs and auxiliary output. The rated current
       is the sum of the Transmitter (285 mA), Receiver (450 mA), control output 1 (625 mA), control output 2 (625 mA),
       and auxiliary output (100 mA).
*3. The 24-VDC value is a nominal value. The actual voltage depends on the supply voltage. Actual voltage = Supply
       voltage − 1 V.

The maximum length and wire gauge for input and output signals are given in the following table.

Type Signal name Wire gauge Rated maximum length
Receiver Control outputs 1 and 2 22 AW G (0.32 mm) 300-mA load: 45 m, 625-mA load: 22 m
Auxiliary output 22 AW G (0.32 mm) 50 m
Start input 24 AW G (0.20 mm) 50 m
External device monitoring (EDM) input 24 AW G (0.20 mm) 50 m

Note: Keep the cable length within the rated length. Failure to do so is dangerous because it may prevent safety functions
           from operating normally.
