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 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 leave bits of wire in the instrument, because they could cause a fire and malfunction. · When wiring, use a crimping pliers and a solderless terminal with an insulation sleeve in which
an M3 screw fits.

· The terminal block of this instrument has a structure that is wired from the left side. Be sure to insert the lead wire into the terminal of the instrument from the left side and tighten the terminal screw.
· 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 an appropriate power switch, circuit breaker and fuse near the instrument.
· When wiring the power supply (24 VDC), do not confuse the polarities. · 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 the thermocouple and compensation lead wire that match the sensor input specifications of
the instrument. · Use a RTD of 3-conducting wire type that meets the sensor input specifications of this
instrument. · When using a relay contact output type, externally use a relay according to the capacity of the
load to protect the built-in relay contact. · Separate the input line (thermocouple, RTD, etc.) from the power line and load line.
Operation and Maintenance Precautions
Caution
· It is recommended that auto-tuning (AT) be performed on the trial run. · 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 panel part is vulnerable, be careful not to put pressure on, scratch or strike it with a hard object.

Caution

When connecting to the communication expansion module QMC1, the communication specification selection is not required. Use it in the factory default (all OFF).

Use the communication specification setting dip switch on the left side of

the instrument to set communication specifications. Set the communication speed, data bit,

parity and stop bit.

The factory default settings are as follows. · Communication speed
