Precautions for Use

Installation Precautions

Caution

• This instrument is intended to be used under the following environmental conditions (IEC61010-1):
• Overvoltage category II, Pollution degree 2 Ensure the mounting location corresponds to the following conditions:
• A minimum of dust, and an absence of corrosive gases
• No flammable, explosive gases
• No mechanical vibrations or shocks
• No exposure to direct sunlight, an ambient temperature of -10 to 55°C (14°F to 131°F ) that does not change rapidly, and no icing
• An ambient non-condensing humidity of 35 to 85 %RH
• No large capacity electromagnetic switches or cables through which large current is flowing
• No water, oil or chemicals or the vapors of these substances can come into direct contact with the unit.
• When installing this unit within a control panel, please note that ambient temperature of this unit – not the ambient temperature of the control panel – must not exceed 55°C (131°F). Otherwise the life of electronic components (especially electrolytic capacitor) may be shortened.
• Avoid setting this instrument directly on or near flammable material even though the case of this instrument is made of flame-resistant resin.

Wiring Precautions

Caution

• Do not connect two or more control modules QTC1-2P (with power supply/communication option) (hereinafter referred to as QTC1-2P) or QTC1-4P (with power supply/communication option) (hereinafter referred to as QTC1-40) in one unit.
• When wiring, do not drop wire scraps into the ventilation window of this instrument. It may cause fire or malfunction.
• When wiring, use crimping pliers and a solderless terminal with an insulation sleeve in which an M3 screw fits.
• Tighten the terminal screw using the specified torque. If excessive force is applied to the screw when tightening, the screw or case may be damaged.
• Do not pull or bend the lead wire with the terminal as the base point during or after wiring work. It may cause malfunction.
• This instrument does not have a built-in power switch, circuit breaker or fuse. It is necessary to install a power switch, circuit breaker, and fuse near the instrument.

(Recommended fuse: Time-lag fuse, rated voltage 250 V AC, rated current 2 A)

• When wiring the power supply (24 VDC), do not confuse the polarities.

Operation and Maintenance Precautions

Caution

• Do not touch live terminals. This may cause electrical shock or problems in operation.
• Turn the power supply to the instrument OFF when retightening the terminal or cleaning. Working on or touching the terminal with the power switched ON may result in severe injury or death due to electrical shock.
• Use a soft, dry cloth when cleaning the instrument. (Alcohol-based substances may tarnish or deface the unit.)
• As the display section is vulnerable, be careful not to put pressure on, scratch, or strike it with a hard object.

Overview

This instrument is a communication extension module that can configure a multi-point control system via a host computer or PLC.

Selection of Module Address

Caution

• The QMC1 module address selection is required to communicate withthe host computer or PLC. The QTC1-20 or QTC1-40 module address selection is required to communicate with the QMC1.
• The module address of QMC1 differs depending on the model name.
• The module address is selected with the rotary switch.
• Use a small flat blade screwdriver to select the module address. The module address of QMC1 differs depending on the model name.
• For QMC1- -0 [Console selection (MODBUS RTU/SIF)]
• The value obtained by adding 1 to the value of the selected rotary switch becomes the module address.
• Module address: 0 to F (1 to 16)

• For QMC1–1 (C series compatible)
• The value of the selected rotary switch becomes the module address.

Module address: 0 to F (0 to 15)
