Wiring Examples Section 3-3
Note Do not use the following wiring with voltage-output devices.
Note The CJ1M CPU Unit's inputs have a set polarity, so the inputs will not go ON if
the wiring is reversed. Always double-check the wiring before turning ON the
power.
Precautions when Connecting Two-wire DC Sensors
Check that the following conditions are met when using a two-wire sensor as
a 24-V DC input device. The sensor may malfunction if the conditions are not
met.

sidual voltage.

4. Precautions Regarding the Sensor Inrush Current
If the sensor power supply is turned ON when the PLC is already ON and
capable of receiving inputs, the sensor's inrush current may cause a false
