1. Installation
- Before installation, it must be ensured that the PLC host and the related device of the BD board terminal wiring are powered off reliably. The module shell is inserted into the BD module slot of PLC host, and then locked with two standard screws for fixation.
- Two standard terminal heads are equipped with this Bd board. After connecting the wiring, insert them into its terminal. After confirming that the host, BD board, wiring, etc. are installed correctly, it can be powered on for use.
- ✎Note:
- When DAI current is output, ensure that the external load resistance is less than 500Ω. If the external load resistance is greater than 500Ω, the output current will be lower than normal value.
- Please install the BD board firmly and fix it on PLC. Poor contact may lead to failure.
- Tightening torque for fixing BD board or PLC top cover is 0.3N.m to0.6N.m. Please tighten it firmly to avoid malfunction.
- You can only use a LX5V-2PT2DAI-BD on the PLC main unit of LX5 series.
- Warning: Cut off the power before installing, removing or wiring the BD board to avoid electric shock or product damage.

4. Wiring
Wiring instructions:
- 2-wire PT100: When using channel 1, L1- and VI- are shorted with wires, and the two leads of the sensor are connected to L1+ and LI- respectively. Similarly, when using channel 2, L2- and VI- are shorted with wires, and the two leads of the sensor are connected to L2+ and L2- respectively.
- 3-wire PT100: When using channel 1, two leads of the same color are connected to L1- and VI- respectively, and the other lead of different color is connected to L1+. Channel 2 is connected in the same way.

Cut off the power before installing, removing or wiring the BD board to avoid electric shock or product damage. |
✎Note:
-
- Do not place signal cables near high voltage power cables or in the same trunk line. Otherwise, it may be disturbed or surged. Keep a safe distance between signal cable and power cable, at least 100mm.
- Ground the shielding of shielded wire or shielded cable. But the ground point and high voltage line cannot be the same.
- Do not connect cables of impermissible size to avoid poor contact or product damage.
- Fix the cable so that no force directly acts on the terminal line or cable connection area.
- The tightening torque of terminal is 0.5Nm to 0.6N.m. Please tighten it to prevent malfunction.
- Do not use empty terminals.
