2. Mounting within the Control Panel
2.1 Site Selection
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 0 to 50 (32 to 122 )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 can come into directcontact with the unit
• Please note that the ambient temperature of this unit – not the ambient temperature of the control
panel – must not exceed 50 (122 ) if mounted within a control panel, otherwise the life of theelectronic components (especially electrolytic capacitors) may be shortened.

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 electrical shock.

Caution• Do not leave wire remnants in the instrument, as they could cause a fire or malfunction.
• Use the solderless terminal with an insulation sleeve in which the M3 screw fits when wiring theinstrument.
• The terminal block of this instrument is designed to be wired from the left side. The lead wire must be
inserted from the left side of the terminal, and fastened with the terminal screw.
• Tighten the terminal screw using the specified torque. If excessive force is applied to the screw whentightening, the terminal screw or case may be damaged.
• Do not pull or bend the lead wire on the terminal side when wiring or after wiring, as it could 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 2 A)
• 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 3-wire RTD according to the sensor input specifications of this instrument.
• When wiring, keep input wires (RTD) away from AC power sources or load wires.

Lead Wire Solderless Terminal
Use a solderless terminal with an insulation sleeve in which an M3 screw fits as shown below.
The torque should be 0.63 N•m.

WET BULB INPUT:
DRY BULB INPUT:

Wet bulb RTD input terminals
Dry bulb RTD input terminals(*) When terminals 14 and 15 are closed, 0 to 20 mA DC is output for both temperature and humidityoutput.
When terminals 14 and 15 are open, 4 to 20 mA DC is output for both temperature and humidity output.
If only wet bulb RTD is connected, no output will occur from humidity output terminals 8 and 9.
If only dry bulb RTD is connected, 4 to 20 mA DC or 0 to 20 mA DC (corresponding to 0 to 100 )will be output from temperature output terminals 5 and 6.

4. Operation
4.1 Selecting Temperature Output or Humidity Output
For temperature and humidity output, 0 to 20 mA DC or 4 to 20 mA DC can be selected byclosing or opening terminals 14 and 15.
When terminals 14 and 15 are closed: 0 to 20 mA DC is output for temperature and humidity output.
When terminals 14 and 15 are open: 4 to 20 mA DC is output for temperature and humidity output.
4.2 Operation
Check Sections “2. Mounting within the Control Panel” and “3. Wiring”.
After the power is turned ON, 0 mA DC is output for approximately 3 seconds regardless of the output
type for temperature and humidity output.
Temperature output
Outputs 0 to 20 mA DC or 4 to 20 mA DC for the dry bulb input temperature 0 to 100or 0 to 200 .

Humidity output
Calculates the relative humidity corresponding to a dry bulb input temperature 0 to 100 and wetbulb input temperature 0 to 100 , and outputs 0 to 20 mA DC or 4 to 20 mA DC corresponding tothe humidity 0 to100 %RH.
4.3 Input Error
If a dry bulb input error or wet bulb input error occurs, the following will be output.
