1. Installation Precautions

CautionThis 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, 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 can come into
direct contact with the unit
• When installing this unit within a control panel, take note that ambient temperature ofthis unit – not the ambient temperature of the control panel – must not exceed 55(131 ). Otherwise the life of electronic components (especially electrolytic capacitor)
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.

2. Wiring Precautions

Caution• Do not leave bits of wire in the instrument, because they could cause a fire and malfunction.
• When wiring terminals, use ferrules with an insulation sleeve and crimping pliers madeby Phoenix Contact GMBH & CO. applicable to terminals.
• Tighten the terminal screw using the specified torque. If excessive force is applied tothe screw when tightening, the screw or case may be damaged.
• This instrument does not have a built-in power switch, circuit breaker and fuse. It isnecessary to install a power switch, circuit breaker and fuse near the instrument.
(Recommended fuse: Time-lag fuse, rated voltage 250V AC, rated current 2A)• For wiring of AC power source, be sure to use terminals as described in this manual.
If AC power source is connected to incorrect terminals, the unit will burn out.
• For a 24V DC power source, do not confuse polarity.
• 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 a thermocouple, compensating lead wire and 3-wire RTD in accordance with thesensor 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.

3. Operation and Maintenance Precautions

Caution• Do not touch live terminals. This may cause an electric shock or problems in operation.
• Turn the power supply to the instrument OFF when retightening the terminal orcleaning. Working on or touching the terminal with the power switched ON may result
in severe 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.)• As the display section is vulnerable, do not strike or scratch it with a hard object or
put pressure on it.
