RELATED PRODUCTS

• PC configurator software (model: R8CFG)

A dedicated cable is required to connect the module to the

PC. Please refer to the users manual for the PC configurator

for applicable cable types.

• Clamp-on current sensor (model: CLSE)

(Used for detecting the heater wire break)

Note: When using with Power/Network module (model: R8-

NECT1), firmware version Ver1.30 or later is supported.
