Power Couplers B7AP CSM_B7AP_DS_E_3_1 Transmits Input Device ON/OFF Signals and Power. The Key to Effortless Wiring for Rotating and Moving Bodies. Be sure to read Safety Precautions on page 5. Features Transmit Multiple Switch Signals and Power to without Contact By connecting the B7AP Power Coupler between the B7A Input Unit and B7A Output Unit, it is possible to transmit multiple switch signals without contact from input devices to controllers. When using the B7AP Power Coupler in this way, it is possible to transmit power via electromagnetic coupling, so a power supply for the Input Unit is not necessary. Total Transmission Distance Up to 100 m The transmission distance between Power Couplers without contact is 81.5 mm. The maximum transmission distance between the B7A Input Unit and B7A Output Unit is 100 m (when transmitting power or signals). 81.5 mm B7A Output Unit B7A Output Unit Signal B7A Input Unit B7A Input Unit B7AP-S1 B7AP-M1 Power B7AP-S1 PLC or other controller B7AP-M1 Switch, Sensor, etc. Total length: 100 m Equipped with a Verification LED for Easy Settings Transmission Also Possible When Separated by a Non-metallic Object The B7AP-M1 is equipped with an operation indicator that lights the usable range during Coupler setup, allowing for easy setup. Switch signals and power can be transmitted even when there is plastic, glass, wooden, or other non-metallic objects between the Couplers (B7AP-S1/-M1).

Operation indicator Not lit when power is not supplied to the Power Coupler. Lit green when the Power Couplers are properly set for power transmission at a transmission distance of 81.5 mm. Not lit when the Power Couplers are not properly set for power transmission, or the Power Coupler has excessive loads. B7AP-M1 Operation indicator 4 B7AP Safety Precautions WARNING This product is not designed or rated for ensuring safety of persons. Do not use it for such purposes. Precautions for Safe Use Be careful when touching the B7AP-S1 (Stationary Unit) Power Coupler during operation because the surface temperature of the B7AP-S1 Power Coupler will rise approximately 20C after the B7AP-S1 Power Coupler starts power transmission. The surface temperature varies with the load of the sensing device connected to the B7AP-M1 (Moving Unit) Power Coupler and the transmission distance. 6. Wire the cables of the B7AP-S1and B7AP-M1 Power Couplers through independent metal conduits to prevent the Power Couplers from being influenced by noise if there are power or high-tension lines nearby. Test the Power Couplers and make sure that the Power Couplers operate normally before they are put in actual operation. Correct Incorrect Metal conduit Power or high-tension line Precautions for Correct Use Do not use this product under ambient conditions that exceed the ratings. Handling 1. Use the B7AP-S1 and B7AP-M1 Power Couplers with the available B7A Link Terminals shown in Connectable B7A Models on page 3. The M7E-12@@ Display Unit, M7E-20@@ Display Unit, B7A-T10M2, B7AC-T10A1, and 16-point High-speed model cannot be connected to the Power Controller. 2. Use the LOAD-OFF model for the B7A Output Unit to be connected to the B7AP-S1 Stationary Unit. The LOAD-OFF model turns OFF all outputs when there is no transmission between the B7AP Power Couplers. 3. The B7AP Power Couplers must be separated by at least 30 mm to prevent transmission. 30 mm min. B7AP-S1 B7AP-M1 4. Do not supply power to the B7AP-S1 or B7AP-M1 Power Coupler while connecting the Power Couplers to the B7A Link Terminals. Connect the Power Couplers to the B7A Link Terminals correctly, otherwise the internal circuits of the Power Couplers may be damaged. 5. The SIG terminal must not contact with the power supply terminals, otherwise the internal element may be damaged and normal transmission may not be possible. Brown (+) Black (SIG) SIG Correct Blue (-) B7A 7. Do not subject the head of the B7AP-S1 or B7AP-M1 Power Coupler to excessive shock with hard objects. 8. Do not use the B7AP-S1 or B7AP-M1 Power Coupler outdoors unless it is properly protected. 9. Degree of Protection The B7AP-S1 and B7AP-M1 Power Couplers are products meeting the requirements of IP67. (They are not fully sealed water-tight models.) The B7AP-S1 or B7AP-M1 Power Coupler cannot be, however, used in water or oil. 10. Keep the heads of the B7AP-S1 and B7AP-M1 Power Couplers free from dust, otherwise improper signal or power transmission may result between the Power Couplers. 11. When complying with UL standards, install a device between the external power supply and the B7AP-S1 that limits the current to 5 A. Mounting Use nuts and serrated toothed washers and tighten the nuts. The torque is 39 N*m maximum. The mounting position will change and improper signal or power transmission may result between the Power Couplers if the nuts are not tightened properly.

Effects of Surrounding Metal The B7AP Power Coupler may malfunction when affected by surrounding metal. When mounting the B7AP within a metal panel, ensure that the clearances given in the following table are maintained. Be sure to check in advance that the B7AP operates properly. 8 mm Gauge Operation indicator n d dia. D L B7AP-S1 B7AP-M1 (Unit: mm) Monitoring Transmission Status Judge from the power supply/error indicator and error output of the B7A Output Unit whether the B7AP-S1 and B7AP-M1 Power Couplers are facing each other properly. (Use the B7A Output Unit power and error indicator, and error terminal.) The error output of the B7A Output Unit will be ON when the B7AP-S1 and B7AP-M1 Power Couplers are not facing each other properly. Minimum Distance between Power Couplers Mounted in Parallel When mounting the B7AP-S1 and B7AP-M1 Power Couplers in parallel, refer to the following table. Keep at least the specified minimum distance between adjacent Power Couplers for proper heat radiation by considering the temperature rise (approximately 20C) of the B7AP-S1 Power Couplers in operation.
