CAUTION
The external I/O is not capable of connecting directly to devices that 
require large amounts of current. In some case, a custom interface 
circuit (customer-provided) may have to be used. Serious damage to 
this product may result if a device is connected to the external I/O 
that exceeds its electrical capability (see page 
143).
The low voltage/current circuits and high voltage/current circuits are 
in the circuit. The qualified electrician should do the wiring not by 
yourself. Incorrect wiring could damage this product. You could
