Installation Precautions

Caution
This instrument is intended to be used under the following environmental conditions (IEC61010-1): Overvoltage category, 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 (14 to 131 ) 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, chemicals, or vapors of these substances can come into direct contact with the unit
Please note that the ambient temperature of this unit – not the ambient temperature of the control panel – must not exceed 55 (131 ) if mounted through the face of a control panel, otherwise the life of electronic components (especially electrolytic capacitors) may be shortened.

Note: 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 leave wire remnants in the instrument, because they could cause a 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.
This instrument does not have a power switch, circuit breaker or fuse. Therefore, it is necessary to install a power switch, circuit breaker, and fuse externally near the instrument.
(Recommended fuse: Time-lag fuse, rated voltage 250 V AC, rated current 2 A)
Connect the AC power to the designated terminal as is written in this instruction manual. Otherwise, it may burn and damage the instrument.
Do not apply a commercial power source to the sensor which is connected to the input terminal nor allow the power source to come into contact with the sensor.
Use a thermocouple and compensating lead wire according to the sensor input specifications of this instrument.
Use the 3-wire RTD according to the sensor input specifications of this instrument.
When using direct current or DC voltage input, ensure the polarity is correct.
When wiring, keep Input/Output wires away from AC power sources.

Operation and Maintenance Precautions
Caution

Do not touch live terminals. This may cause an electrical shock or problems in operation.
Turn the power supply to the instrument OFF before 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.

Mounting

Dimensions (Scale: mm)

Mounting to, and Removal from the DIN Rail Mounting to the DIN Rail (Fig. 2.2-1)

Separate the instrument from the socket by loosening the mounting screw on the front panel.
Make sure the lock lever of the socket is located in the lower part of the socket. Hook the upper side of the socket onto the DIN rail, then fit the lower part of the socket onto the DIN rail. (A clicking sound should be heard when done properly.)

Caution

Before inserting the instrument into the socket, wire the cable. (Refer to “3. Wiring”.)
When inserting or removing the socket, make sure the socket is oriented vertically. If force is applied in any other direction than vertically, a malfunction may occur.
If the mounting screw is fastened too tightly, a malfunction may occur.
Insert the unit into the socket.
Fasten the mounting screw by turning it clockwise, to secure the unit onto the socket.
Tighten the screw lightly.

Removal from the DIN Rail (Fig. 2.2-2)

Turn the power to the instrument OFF.
Separate the instrument from the socket by loosening the mounting screw on the front panel.
Insert a flat-blade screwdriver into the lock lever (lower part of the socket), and remove the socket from the DIN rail while pulling the lever down.

Wiring

Connect an mV generator or Dial resistor to the input terminals of this unit.
Connect a digital multimeter to the output terminals.

Adjust Output 1

Enter the value corresponding to 0% output, then adjust the value with the Output 1 Zero trimmer while viewing the output value (on the digital multimeter).
Enter the value corresponding to 100% output, then adjust the value with the Output 1 Span trimmer while viewing the output value (on the digital multimeter).
Enter the value corresponding to 0% output again, and confirm the output value (on the digital multimeter).
If the value corresponding to 0% output is not at 0%, repeat steps (1) to (3) again.

Adjust Output 2 [For SG?W (2-outputs spec)]

The procedure for Output 2 adjustment is the same as that of Output 1 adjustment.
