 IMPORTANT
 
  ●Do not connect 2 wires or more directly to a terminal. When it is necessary to connect 2 
or more wires, use a splitter.
 
  ●Input and output of the external I/O terminal 2 and 3 can be switched by configuring the 
setting. The default of EXT I/O terminal 2 is ALARM IN 2 and of EXT I/O terminal 3 is 
ALARM IN 3. It is possible to determine whether or not to receive input from EXT I/O 
terminal 2 and 3 (ALARM IN2, 3) by selecting Off, Alarm input, Alarm output or AUX 
output for Terminal alarm 2 or Terminal alarm 3 on the [Alarm] tab on the Alarm setup 
page. Refer to the Operating Instructions (included in the CD-ROM) for further information.
 
  ●The default of EXT I/O terminals is Off. When Off is selected, it is possible to connect 
external devices as well as the input setting.
 
  ●When using the EXT I/O terminals as the output terminals, ensure they do not cause 
signal collision with external signals.
In order for the EXT I/O terminal to detect alarm inputs when the terminal status is changed 
  ●
from Open to Close (On) or from Close to Open (Off), about 100 ms or more is needed. 
Because alarms cannot be detected for about 5 seconds after a detection is made, alarm 
inputs received within about 5 seconds after an alarm is detected are not detected.
