Note: 1. The lead wire colors of the NL have been changed in compliance with the latest applicable JIS standards. Colors in parentheses are previous ones.
2. The figures in the S3D2 illustration indicate the terminal numbers of the socket.
3. Use a three-conductor cable with a minimum thickness of 0.75 mm to connect the NL and the Sensor Power Supply or other devices with no built-in contacts.
The cable can be extended up to 100 m on condition that the cable is wired in an independent conduit.
