4. Wiring
Warning
Turn the power supply to the instrument OFF before wiring or checking.
Working on or touching the terminal with the power switched ON may result in severe injury
or death due to Electric Shock.

AC single-phaseCaution• The terminal block of this instrument is designed to be wired from the lower side. The lead wire must be
inserted from the lower side of the terminal, and fastened with the terminal screw.
• Use sensors in accordance with the input specifications of this unit.
• Keep input wires away from power wires.
• Do not apply a commercial power source to the sensor connected to the input terminals nor allow thepower source to come into contact with the sensor.
(1) Fasten the terminal screws securely, and use a terminal cover for safety.
(2) Power (AC source) wiring: Wire the power supply in accordance with the current used for “U” and “V”.
(3) Load wiring: Connect a heater, etc. to “u” and “v”.
Load current should be within 15A or 30A.
(4) Alarm 1(A1) wiring: Alarm 1 (A1) terminals “a”, “c” have been already connected to Alarm 1 (A1)terminals of the installed controller.
Please connect an alarm unit (buzzer), etc. as in the above wiring example.
(5) Wiring (internal) for the option on the Auxiliary terminal block (M3 screw) will be conducted only whenan option is added.
Note: A specified compensating lead wire has been used for the internal wiring of thermocouple,
so do not change the input type of the installed controller.

35. Operation

BC-100-S series(1) Check the wiring if it is correct.
(2) Turn the Overcurrent breaker (circuit protector) at the rear side ON.
(3) Turn the Power switch for controller ON. Supply voltage is indicated on the Power voltmeter.
While the controller is in warm-up status after power-on, do not operate any key of the controller.
(4) For the operation method (each set value setting) of the installed controller, refer to the Instruction
Manual for the controller.
(5) Control starts indicating the PV (process variable) and SV (desired value) on the controller.
BC-200-H series
Before starting operation, the trial run is recommended by setting the output power as low as possible.
If load is too small, the output as per specifications might not be obtained.
Based on the load current (15A or 30A) of this instrument, connect a load which is between 5 to 10% of
these loads and lower than 15A or 30A.
(1) Check the wiring if it is correct.
(2) Set the Output power adjuster to the minimum. (Turn it counterclockwise until it stops at the left side.)(3) Turn the Overcurrent breaker (circuit protector) at the rear side ON.
(4) Turn the Power switch for controller ON.
Do not operate any key of the controller while controller is in warm-up status after power-on.
(5) For the operation method (each set value setting) of the installed controller, refer to the Instruction
Manual for the controller.
(6) Turn the Output power adjuster clockwise, and set it to a random point of load current (15A or 30A).
Control starts, indicating the PV (process variable) and SV (desired value) on the controller, andindicating the load current value on the Load ammeter.
