In the case of resale, ensure that this instrument is not illegally exported.

Installation Precautions• Do not leave wire remnants in the instrument, because they could cause a fire
and/or a malfunction.
• Use a solderless terminal with an insulation sleeve in which the M3 screw fits
when wiring the instrument.
• Tighten the terminal screw using the specified torque.
• This instrument has no built-in power switch, circuit breaker or fuse.
It is necessary to install them near the instrument.
(Recommended fuse: Time-lag fuse, rated voltage 250V AC, rated current 2A)• For AC power source, be sure to use terminals specified in this manual. If theAC power source is connected to other terminals, this unit will burn out.
• For DC power source, ensure polarity is correct.
• Do not apply a commercial power source to the sensor connected to the input
terminal nor allow the power source to come into contact with the sensor, as theinput circuit may burn out.
• Use a thermocouple, compensating lead wire and 3-wire type RTD inaccordance with the sensor input specifications of this unit.
• When using DC voltage and current input, do not confuse polarity when wiring.
• Keep the input/output wires and power line separate.

Operation and Maintenance Precautions

Caution• Do not touch live terminals. This may cause electric shock or problems in operation.
• Turn the power supply to the instrument OFF before cleaning.
Working on or touching the terminal with the power switched ON may result insevere injury or death due to Electric Shock.
• Use a soft, dry cloth when cleaning the instrument.
(Alcohol based substances may tarnish or deface the unit.)• The indicators and key sections are vulnerable - do not strike or scratch with ahard object, nor use excessive force when using keys.

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 or explosive gases• No mechanical vibrations or shocks• No exposure to direct sunlight, an ambient temperature of -5 to 55(23 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 or chemicals or where the vapors of these substances cancome into direct contact with the unit
• Take note that ambient temperature of this unit must not exceed 55 (131 )if mounted within the 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 eventhough the case of this instrument is made of flame-resistant resin.

4. Adjustment
The output of this unit has been already adjusted prior to shipping. Therefore, it is
not required to adjust the unit if used with shipped Input/Output specifications.
However, in the case of fine adjustment or calibration between connected units,adjust the value following the procedures described below.
Connect an mV generator or Dial resistor to the Input terminals of this unit.
Connect a digital multimeter to the Output terminals.
For the SF1P, connect a potentiometer, and register the zero and span positions.
Zero and Span Adjustment: SF1A, SF1V, SF1E, SF1R, SF1D, SF1D-F(1) Press the MODE Key. The ZERO indicator becomes lit, and the unit moves to theOutput Zero adjustment mode.
(2) Enter the Output 0% value, then adjust the value with the UP or DOWN Key,
while viewing the output value (indicated on the digital multimeter).
(3) Press the MODE Key.
The Output Zero adjustment value will be registered.
After that, the SPAN indicator becomes lit, and the unit moves to the Output
Span adjustment mode.
(4) Enter the Output 100% value, then adjust the value with the UP or DOWN Key,
while viewing the output value (indicated on the digital multimeter).
(5) Press the MODE Key.
The Output Span adjustment value will be registered.
After that, the ZERO indicator becomes lit, and the unit will return to the Output
Zero adjustment mode.
(6) Enter the Output 0% value and 100% value again, check the output values(indicated on the digital multimeter).
If the Output 0% (or 100%) value does not correspond to 0% (or 100%), repeat
steps from (2) to (5).
If the MODE Key is pressed for approx 3 sec, or if no operation occurs forapprox. 30 sec, the unit will revert to the RUN mode.
How to Register the Zero and Span Position for the SF1P
(1) Press the MODE Key.
The ZERO indicator becomes lit, and the unit moves to the Potentiometer
input Zero adjustment mode.
(2) Set the potentiometer to any position, and press the DOWN Key once.
The automatic adjustment will be performed, then the Zero position will beregistered.
(3) Press the MODE Key.
The SPAN indicator becomes lit, and the unit moves to the Potentiometer input
Span adjustment mode.
(4) Set the potentiometer to any position (larger than the Zero position) of MAX
side, and press the UP Key once. The automatic adjustment will be performed,
then the Span position will be registered.
(5) Press the MODE Key.
The ZERO indicator becomes lit, and the unit will return to the Potentiometer
input Zero adjustment mode.
If the MODE Key is pressed for approx 3 sec, or if no operation occurs forapprox. 30 sec, the unit will revert to the RUN mode.
