Check the wiring of inputs, disconnections,
shorts and input type.
First, turn the power OFF then back ON again. If
the display remains the same, the controller must
be repaired. If the display is restored to normal,
then it is likely external noise affecting the control
system. Check for external noise.
After the correction of input error, turn the power
OFF then back ON again. If the display remains
the same, the controller must be repaired. If the
display is restored to normal, then a probable
cause can be external noise affecting the control
system. Check for external noise.

CAUTION
Devices are Open Type, Listed Process Control Equipment and must be mounted in
an enclosure.
More than one disconnect switch may be required to de-energize the equipment
before servicing.
Signal inputs are SELV, limited energy.
Caution - To reduce risk of fire or Electrical shock, Do not interconnect the outputs of
different Class 2 circuits.
Disconect power to device before installing or servicing.
Do not touch the terminals of controller when voltage is applied.
Do not allow metal fragments or lead wire scraps to fall inside this product. This may
cause electric shock, fire or malfunction.
Do not use this product where subject to flammable or explosive gas.
Never disassemble, repair or modify the product.
The life expectancy of the output relays varies greatly with the switching capacity and
other switching conditions. Always use the output relays within their rated load and
electrical life expectancy. If an output relay is used beyond its life expectancy, its
contacts may become fused or burned.
Use copper stranded or solid wire only. For terminals 1-6 use 24-14 AWG. For
terminals 7-9 use 28-22 AWG. Tightening torque: Terminals 1-6: 0.24N∗m, 2 inch lbs
(max), Terminals 7-9: 0.13N∗m, 1.2 inch lbs(max) Loose screws may cause
malfunction. Only two wires of same type and size per terminal.
Correctly set the temperature controller settings to match the control target. If the
settings are not compatible with the control target, the product may operate in an
unexpected manner, resulting in damage to the product or an accident.
To maintain safety in the event of malfunction of the temperature controller, we
recommend taking safety measures, for example, installing an excessive temperature
rise prevention alarm on a separate line. If malfunction prevents control, this may
result in a major accident.
(1) Do not use this product in the following:
∗ Places directly subject to heat radiated from heating equipment.
∗ Places subject to splashing liquid or oil atmosphere (exceeds NEMA 4X).
∗ Places subject to direct sunlight, could discolor or cause excessive heat.
∗ Places subject to dust or corrosive gas (in particular, sulfide gas and
ammonia gas).
∗ Places where intense temperature changes exceed the published ratings.
∗ Places subject to icing and condensation.
∗ Places subject to vibration and large shocks.
(2) Use/store within the rated temperature and humidity ranges.
Provide forced-cooling if required.
(3) To allow heat to escape, do not block the area around the product.
Do not block the ventilation holes on the product.
(4) Be sure to wire properly with correct polarity of terminals.
(5) Use AWG24 to AWG14 leads for terminal Nos. 1 to 6 and AWG28 to AWG
22 for terminal Nos. 7 to 9 (with lead cover peel back allowance of 5 or 6 mm).
(6) Do not wire the terminals which are not used.
(7) Allow as much space as possible between the controller and devices that
generate a powerful high-frequency or surge.
Separate the high-voltage or large-current power lines from other lines, and
avoid parallel or common wiring with the power lines when you are wiring to
the terminals.
(8) Use this product within the rated load and power supply.
(9) Make sure that the rated voltage is attained within two seconds of turning the
power ON.
(10) When executing self-tuning, turn the load and the unit ON simultaneously,
or turn the load ON before you turn the controller ON.
(11) A switch or circuit breaker should be provided close to this unit.
The switch or circuit breaker should be within easy reach of the operator,
and must be marked as a disconnecting means for this unit.
(12) If you remove the controller from its case, or put the controller into its case,
never touch nor apply shock to the terminals and the electronic parts inside.
Make sure the electronic components and the case are not contacted when
inserting the internal mechanism.
(13) Cleaning: Do not use paint thinner or the equivalent. Use standard grade
alcohol to clean the outside of the product.
NOTICE
When the product is used under the circumstances or environment below, ensure adherence to
limitations of the ratings and functions. Also, take countermeasures for safety precautions such
as fail-safe installations.
∗ Use under circumstances or environment which are not described in the instruction manual.
∗ Use for applications where death or serious property damage is possible and extensive safety
precautions are required.

CAUTION
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire, install in
Pollution Degree 2 environment (a controlled environment relatively
free of contaminates).
Power supply, input, output, and communication terminals (for models with
communications) have basic insulation between them.
When double insulation is required, apply supplemental insulation defined in
IEC 60664 that is suitable for the maximum operating voltage with clearances
or solid insulation.
Conformity to Safety Standards (Connections, To conform to
IEC/EN Standards)
*To avoid grouped loops, only ground one of the control terminals.
