 Warning
Installation and wiring
• This controller designed to be installed at the following conditions.
Operating temperature –10℃ 〜 50℃
Operating humidity 90%RH or less (Non condensation)
Installation category II
Conforming to IEC61010-1
Pollution degree 2
• The controller must be installed such that with the exception of the connection to the mains,creepage and clearance
distances shown in the table below are maintained between the temperature probe and any other assemblies which use or
generate a voltage shown in the table below.
Failure to maintain these minimum distances would invalidate the EN 61010 safety approval.
Voltage used or generated by any assemblies Clearance (mm) Creepage (mm)
Up to 50Vrms or Vdc 0.2 1.2
Up to 100Vrms or Vdc 0.2 1.4
Up to 150Vrms or Vdc 0.5 1.6
Up to 300Vrms or Vdc 1.5 3.0
Above 300Vrms or Vdc Contact with our sales office.
• If the voltage shown above exceeds 50Vdc (i.e. hazardous voltage), the basic insulation is required between all
terminals of this controller and the ground, and supplementary insulation is required for the alarm output.
Isolation class of this controller is as shown below. Be sure to check that the isolation class of the controller
satisfies your requirements before installation.
Basic insulation Non-insulation
Mains (Power source) Measured value input
Control output (relay output) Internal circuit
Alarm output (AL1)
SSR/SSC driving output
Alarm output (AL2)

• If there is a danger of a serious accident resulting from a failure or a defect in this unit, provide the unit with an
appropriate external protective circuit to prevent an accident.
• The unit is normally supplied without a power switch and fuses.
Make wiring so that the fuse is placed between the main power supply switch and this controller.
(Main power supply: 2 pole breaker, fuse rating: 250V, 1A)
• A switch (or a circuit-breaker) must be included in the installation.
• A switch (or a circuit-breaker) must be suitably located and easily reached.
• A switch (or a circuit-breaker) must be marked as the disconnecting device for this equipment.
Supply wiring shall be prepared by installers in accordance with national regulations.
• A switch (or a circuit-breaker) must be included in the installation.
• A switch (or a circuit-breaker) must be suitably located and easily reached.
• A switch (or a circuit-breaker) must be marked as the disconnecting device for this equipment.
• Supply wiring shall be prepared by installers in accordance with national regulations.
• When wiring the power supply terminal, use vinyl insulated 600 volt cable or equivalent.
• To avoid the damage and failure of controller, supply the power voltage fitting to the rating.
• To avoid an electric shock and controller failure, do not turn ON the power before all wiring is completed.
• Be sure to check that the distance is kept to avoid electric shock or firing before turning the power ON.
• Keep away from terminals while the circuit is energized in order to avoid an electric shock and a malfunction.
• Never attempt to disassemble, fabricate, modify, or repair this unit because tampering with the unit may result in a
malfunction, electric shock, or a fire.
• Output relay is the part has a limited life.
• When output relay contact comes to the end of its life, it might remain on-state, or off-state. For safety, use a protective
circuit outside.

Precautions in wiring connection
• For the thermocouple sensor type, use thermocouple compensation wires for wiring.
For the RTD type, use a wiring material with a small lead wire resistance and no resistance differentials among three
wires.
• Keep input lines away from power line and load line to avoid the influence from noise induced.
• For the input and output signal lines, be sure to use shielded wires and keep them away from each other.
• If a noise level is excessive in the power supply, the additional installation of an insulating transformer and the use
of a noise filter are recommended.
Make sure that the noise filter is installed to a place such as a panel that is properly grounded. The wiring between
the noise filter output terminal and the instrument power supply terminal should be made as short as possible. None
of fuses or switches should be installed to the wiring on the noise filter output side because the filter effect will be
degraded by such a installation.
• A better anti-noise effect can be expected by using stranded power supply cable for the instrument. (The shorter the
stranding pitch is, the better the anti-noise effect can be expected.)
• A setup time is required for the contact output when the power is turned on. If the contact output is used as a signal
for an external interlock circuit, use a delay relay at the same time.
• Use the auxiliary relay since the life is shortened if full capacity load is connected to the output relay. SSR/SSC drive
output type is preferred if the output operations occur frequently.
[Proportional interval] relay output: 30 seconds or more, SSR/SSC: one second or more
• If inductive load such as magnetic switches connected as a relay output load, it is recommended to use serge absorber to
protect a contact from switching serge and keep a longer life.

Voltage 100V 240V
200V 470V

Where to install: Connect it between contacts of the relay control output.

Requirement for key operation/operation in abnormalities

• Prior to the operation, be sure to check alarm functions, since a failure in the proper setting will result in a failure in the
proper output of an alarm in case of an abnormality.
• A display of UUUU or LLLL will appear in case of a break in the input. Be sure to turn off the power when a sensor is
replaced.

Others
• Do not use organic solvents such as alcohol and benzine to wipe this controller. Use a neutral detergent for wiping the
controller.

Note 1: The set value of the parameter for which “*” is marked in “page”column changes depending on the set value of PVT, PVb, PVF and PVd.
When you change the values of PVT, PVb, PVF, and PVd, you have to reconfigure the parameters marked with “*”.
Note 2: FS (Full Span) in this manual means the PV input range. For example, when PV input range is from 0 to 400oC, FS is 400oC.
%FS means the percentage of FS. For example, when FS is 400oC, default value for “alarm set value” of which default setting is 2.5%FS is:
400oC×2.5% = 10oC. (10oC will be displayed.)
All the items with %FS described in “setting range” column are displayed and configured with actual number as above example.
