SPECIFICATIONS

Notes: 1) Where measurement conditions have not been specified precisely, the conditions used were an ambient temperature of +23 °C +73.4 °F.

2) 50 mA per output. 25 mA if five, or more, amplifiers are connected in cascade.

3) The light emitting amount can be zero (emission halt) in all modes.

4) When the power supply is switched on, the light emission timing is automatically set for interference prevention.

5) When the interference prevention function “

” is set, the number of mountable fiber heads becomes double.

Furthermore, take care that the response time also becomes double.

6) The voltage withstandability and the insulation resistance values given in the above table are for the amplifier only.

7) The cable for amplifier connection is not supplied as an accessory. Make sure to use the optional quick-connection cables given below.
