the relay coil rating must
be as low as possible.
<DC relay>
• To prevent noise and protect the contact,
connect the diode to the relay coil terminal
directly.
• In addition to the above measure, reduce
the rated voltage of the relay circuit as
much as possible for higher reliability.
• It is necessary to choose a diode that
matches the relay. Generally, a diode
whose rated rectifying current is at least
three times the current flowing through
the relay coil must be used.
And the rated reverse voltage must be at
least three time the operating voltage.
(Note) Across the relay or solenoid coil, a counter-electromotive force is produced by an
inductive load. This phenomenon may damage the contact or, as the noise source,
cause a malfunctioning of the equipment, and have an unfavorable effect on the
entire system.

• If a relay contact is connectd to the input
of the system components, apply the
measure shown in the figure at the right
to the relay coil. Otherwise, a counter-
electromotive force produced across the
coil may be induced on the contact side
through the relay's internal coupling or
coupling between the lines, and may
cause a malfunctioning of the equipment.

Anti-Noise Measures for PC Connection
When connecting the DA100 to a PC, it is recommended to apply ferrite cores (e.g. ZCAT3035-
1303 from TDK) to the interface cable as a noise countering measure. Apply a ferrite core on
both sides of the cable as shown below, when the noise persists, apply more ferrite cores.
