*1 A class 2 circuit is one tested and certified by UL as having the current and voltage of the secondary output restricted to specific levels.
Conformance to UL/CSA
Do not allow temporary overvoltage on the primary circuit to exceed the
following values.
Check the power supply voltage to the Temperature Controller.
Short-term overvoltage: 1,200 V + (Power supply voltage)
Long-term overvoltage: 250 V + (Power supply voltage)
The power supply terminals must be supplied from a SELV, limited-current
source. A SELV (safety extra-low voltage) source is a power supply having
double or reinforced insulation between the primary and the secondary circuits
and having an output voltage of 30 V r.m.s. max. and 42.4 V peak max. or 60 V
DC max.
Functional insulation is provided between the power supply, input, output, and
communications terminals. If reinforced or double insulation is required, use
a power supply that complies with the reinforced or double insulation
standards specified in IEC 60664 for the EJ1 external power supply and for the
power supply connected to the EJ1.
Always externally connect the recommended fuse that is specified in the
Instruction Manual before you use the Temperature Controller.
Analog Input
- If you input an analog voltage or current, set the Input Type parameter to the correct input type.
- Do not use the Temperature Controller to measure a circuit with Measurement Category II, III, or IV.
- Do not use the Temperature Controller to measure an energized circuit to which a voltage that
exceeds 30 V r.m.s. or 60 V DC is applied.
The protection provided by the Temperature Controller may be impaired if the
Temperature Controller is used in a manner that is not specified by the
manufacturer.
Due to UL Listing requirements, use the E54-CT1L or E54-CT3L current
transformer with the factory wiring (internal wiring). Use a UL category XOBA
or XOBA7 current transformer that is UL Listed for field wiring (external
wiring) and not the factory wiring (internal wiring).
