(e.g.)(1) Ensure the cable is used under the following conditions:• A minimum of dust, and an absence of corrosive gases• No flammable, explosive gases• No mechanical vibrations or shocks• No exposure to direct sunlight, an ambient temperature of 0 to 50(32 to 122 ) that does not change rapidly, and no icing• An ambient non-condensing humidity of 35 to 85 %RH• No large capacity electromagnetic switches or cables through whichlarge current is flowing• No water, oil, chemicals or the vapors of these substances can comeinto direct contact with the cable• Ambient temperature of this cable – not the ambient temperature of
the control panel – must not exceed 50 (122 ) if mounted within thecontrol panel.
(2) It sometimes takes time for the PC to identify the cable when theUSB plug of this cable is connected to the PC. However, this is not amalfunction. Be sure to confirm the COM port number before
starting communication.
(3) Do not extend this cable using an extension cable when connecting
