Precautions for Use

Installation Precautions
Caution
This instrument is intended to be used under the following environmental conditions (EN61010-1):

• 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 50°C(14°F to 122°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 50°C (122°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 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 QTC1-4P) in the same unit.

  • When wiring, do not drop wire scraps into the ventilation window of this instrument. It may cause fire or malfunction.

  • When wiring, use a 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 and 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 3 A)

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

  • Use a large wire (1.25 to 2.0 mm 2 ) for the FG terminal.

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.

Compliance with Safety Standards
Caution

• Always install the recommended fuse described in this manual externally.
• Use of equipment in a manner not specified by the manufacturer may impair the protection provided by the equipment.
• Use a device with reinforced insulation or double insulation for the external circuit connected to this product.
• When using this product as a UL certified product, use a power supply conforming to Class 2 or LIM for the external circuit connected to the product.

Setting of QMC1-MT IP Address

Caution

•  The QMC1-MT IP address setting is required for Ethernet communication.
  Selection of QTC1-20 or QTC1-40 module address is required to communicate with QMC1-MT.

• If the QMC1-MT IP address setting has been changed, turn the power OFF and ON.
  The QMC1-MT IP address setting becomes effective by turning the power OFF and ON.

The 3rd (a) and 4th (b) bytes of the QMC1-MT IP address (e.g. 192.168.a.b) are set using the QMC1-MT IP address setting rotary switch or console software.
The factory default for the QMC1-MT IP address is 192.168.0.0. When using the QMC1-MT IP address setting rotary switch Use a small flat-blade screwdriver to set the QMC1-MT IP address.

When using the console software
When the 4th octet of the rotary switch for setting the QMC1-MT IP address is set to “0,” the setting values of the 3rd and 4th bytes of the console software set using USB communication become effective.
If necessary, set the 1st byte (192) and the 2nd byte (168).
Refer to “QMC1-MT INSTRUCTION MANUAL” for details.
