Accessory		-	FX-MB1 (amplifier protection seal): 1 set

Notes:

1):	Where measurement conditions have not been specified precisely, the conditions used were an ambient temperature of +23 ℃ +73.4 ℉.
2):	50 mA per output. 25 mA if five, or more, amplifiers are connected in cascade.
3):	The light emitting amount can be zero (emission halt) in all modes.
4):	When the power supply is switched on, the light emission timing is automatically set for interference prevention.
5):	When the interference prevention function "." is set, the number of mountable fiber heads becomes double. Furthermore, take care that the response time also becomes double.
6):	The voltage withstandability and the insulation resistance values given in the above table are for the amplifier only.
7):	The cable for amplifier connection is not supplied as an accessory. Make sure to use the optional quick-connection cables given below.
