Precautions
!CAUTION
Do not touch the terminals while power is being supplied.
Doing so may occasionally result in minor injury due to
electric shock.
Do not allow pieces of metal, wire clippings, or fine
metallic shavings or filings from installation to enter the
product. Doing so may occasionally result in electric
shock, fire, or malfunction.
Do not use the product where subject to flammable or
explosive gas. Otherwise, minor injury from explosion
may occasionally occur.
Do not leave the conversion cable connected to the
product. Malfunction may occur due to noise in the cable.
Do not use the Temperature Controller or Conversion
Cable if it is damaged. Doing so may occasionally result
in minor electric shock or fire.
Never disassemble, modify, or repair the product or touch
any of the internal parts. Minor electric shock, fire, or
malfunction may occasionally occur.
CAUTION - Risk of Fire and Electric Shock
a) This product is UL listed as Open Type Process
Control Equipment. It must be mounted in an
enclosure that does not allow fire to escape externally.
b) More than one disconnect switch may be required to
de-energize the equipment before servicing the
product.
c) Signal inputs are SELV, limited energy.
d) Caution: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do
not interconnect the outputs of different Class 2
circuits.
If the output relays are used past their life expectancy,
contact fusing or burning may occasionally occur.
Always consider the application conditions and use the
output relays within their rated load and electrical life
expectancy. The life expectancy of output relays varies
considerably with the output load and switching
conditions.
Tighten the terminal screws to between 0.74 and 0.9 N·m.
Loose screws may occasionally result in fire.
Set the parameters of the product so that they are
suitable for the system being controlled. If they are not
suitable, unexpected operation may occasionally result in
property damage or accidents.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire,
install in a Pollution Degree 2 environment (a controlled
environment relatively free of contaminants).
A malfunction in the product may occasionally make
control operations impossible or prevent alarm outputs,
resulting in property damage. To maintain safety in the
event of malfunction of the product, take appropriate
safety measures, such as installing a monitoring device
on a separate line.
A semiconductor is used in the output section of long-life
relays. If excessive noise or surge is impressed on the
output terminals, a short-circuit failure is likely to occur. If
the output remains shorted, fire will occur due to
overheating of the heater or other cause. Take measures
in the overall system to prevent excessive temperature
increase and to prevent fire from spreading.
Do not allow pieces of metal or wire cuttings to get inside
connectors. Failure to do so may occasionally result in
minor electric shock, fire, or damage to equipment.
Do not allow dust and dirt to collect between the pins in
the connector on the Conversion Cable. Failure to do so
may occasionally result in fire.
Note: 1. An SELV circuit is one separated from the power supply with
double insulation or reinforced insulation, that does not
exceed 30 V r.m.s. and 42.4 V peak or 60 VDC.
2. A class 2 power supply is one tested and certified by UL as
have the current and voltage of the secondary output
restricted to specific levels.
