! WARNING
 To prevent injury to persons, damage to instrument and equipment, a
suitable external protection device shall be required.
 All wiring must be completed before power is turned on to prevent electric
shock, fire or damage to instrument and equipment.
 This instrument must be used in accordance with the specifications to
prevent fire or damage to instrument and equipment.
 This instrument is not intended for use in locations subject to flammable or
explosive gases.
 Do not touch high-voltage connections such as power supply terminals,
etc. to avoid electric shock.
 RKC is not responsible if this instrument is repaired, modified or
disassembled by other than factory-approved personnel. Malfunction can
occur and warranty is void under these conditions.
CAUTION
 This product is intended for use with industrial machines, test and measuring equipment. (It is not
designed for use with medical equipment and nuclear energy.)
 This is a Class A instrument. In a domestic environment, this instrument may cause radio
interference, in which case the user may be required to take additional measures.
 This instrument is protected from electric shock by reinforced insulation. Provide reinforced
insulation between the wire for the input signal and the wires for instrument power supply, source
of power and loads.
 Be sure to provide an appropriate surge control circuit respectively for the following:

If input/output or signal lines within the building are longer than 30 meters.

If input/output or signal lines leave the building, regardless the length.
 This instrument is designed for installation in an enclosed instrumentation panel. All high-voltage
connections such as power supply terminals must be enclosed in the instrumentation panel to
avoid electric shock by operating personnel.
 All precautions described in this manual should be taken to avoid damage to the instrument or
equipment.
 All wiring must be in accordance with local codes and regulations.
 All wiring must be completed before power is turned on to prevent electric shock, instrument
failure, or incorrect action. The power must be turned off before repairing work for input break
and output failure including replacement of sensor, contactor or SSR, and all wiring must be
completed before power is turned on again.
 To prevent instrument damage as a result of failure, protect the power line and the input/output
lines from high currents with a suitable overcurrent protection device with adequate breaking capacity
such as fuse, circuit breaker, etc.
 Prevent metal fragments or lead wire scraps from falling inside instrument case to avoid electric
shock, fire or malfunction.
 Tighten each terminal screw to the specified torque found in the manual to avoid electric shock,
fire or malfunction.
 For proper operation of this instrument, provide adequate ventilation for heat dispensation.
 Do not connect wires to unused terminals as this will interfere with proper operation of the
instrument.
 Turn off the power supply before cleaning the instrument.
 Do not use a volatile solvent such as paint thinner to clean the instrument. Deformation or
discoloration will occur. Use a soft, dry cloth to remove stains from the instrument.
 To avoid damage to instrument display, do not rub with an abrasive material or push front panel
with a hard object.
 Do not connect modular connectors to telephone line.
 When high alarm with hold action/re-hold action is used for Event function, alarm does not turn
on while hold action is in operation. Take measures to prevent overheating which may occur if
the control device fails.

splashes.
(4) Mount this instrument in the panel considering the following conditions:

Provide adequate ventilation space so that heat does not build up.

Do not mount this instrument directly above equipment that generates large amount of heat
(heaters, transformers, semi-conductor functional devices, large-wattage resistors.)
 If the ambient temperature rises above 50 C (122 F), cool this instrument with a forced air fan,
cooler, etc. Cooled air should not blow directly on this instrument.

In order to improve safety and the immunity to withstand noise, mount this instrument as far
away as possible from high voltage equipment, power lines, and rotating machinery.
High voltage equipment: Do not mount within the same panel.
Power lines: Separate at least 200 mm.
Rotating machinery: Separate as far as possible.

*3 If the HA400/HA401s or HA900/HA901s have waterproof/dustproof (optional), protection will be compromised and
not meet IP65 by close mounting.
*4 When controllers are closely mounted, ambient temperature must not exceed 50 °C (122 F).
For mounting of the HA400/HA401 or HA900/HA901, panel thickness must be between 1 to 10 mm.
When mounting multiple HA400/HA401s or HA900/HA901s close together, the panel strength should be checked to
ensure proper support.
 Mounting Procedures
1. Prepare the panel cutout as specified in  Dimensions.
2. Insert the instrument through the panel cutout.
3. Insert the mounting bracket into the mounting groove of the instrument.
Do not push the mounting bracket forward. (Fig. 1)
4. Secure the bracket to the instrument by tightening the screw.
Take care to refrain from moving the bracket forward.
5. Only turn about one full revolution after the screw touches the panel. (Fig. 2)
If the screw has been rotated too tight, the screw may turn
idle. In such a case, loosen the screw once and tighten it
again until the instrument is firmly fixed.
6. The other mounting bracket should be installed in the same way
described in 3. to 5.
When the instrument is mounted, always secure with two mounting brackets so that upper
and lower mounting brackets are positioned diagonally.
The waterproof/dustproof (optional) on the front of the instrument conforms to IP65 when
mounted on the panel. For effective waterproof/dustproof, the gasket must be securely
placed between instrument and panel without any gap. If gasket is damaged, please contact
RKC sales office or the agent.
 Removal Procedures
1 . Turn the power OFF.
2. Remove the wiring.
3. Loosen the screw of the mounting bracket.
4. Hold the mounting bracket by the edge () and tilt it () to remove from
the case. (Fig. 3)
5. The other mounting bracket should be removed in the same way as
described in 3. and 4.
6. Pull out the instrument from the mounting cutout while holding the front
panel frame of this instrument. (Fig. 4)
2. WIRING
To prevent electric shock or instrument failure, do not turn on the power until all wiring is completed. Make sure that the wiring is correct before applying power
to the instrument.
 Wiring Cautions
 For thermocouple input, use the appropriate compensation wire.
 For RTD input, use low resistance lead wire with no difference in resistance between the three
or four lead wires.
 To avoid noise induction, keep input signal wire away from instrument power line, load lines
and power lines of other electric equipment.
3  Signal connected to Voltage input and Current input shall be low voltage defined as "SELV"
dry air at 101.3 kPa)
circuit per IEC 60950-1.
 If there is electrical noise in the vicinity of the instrument that could affect operation, use a noise
filter.
- Shorten the distance between the twisted power supply wire pitches to achieve
the most effective noise reduction.
- Always install the noise filter on a grounded panel. Minimize the wiring distance
between the noise filter output and the instrument power supply terminals to achieve
the most effective noise reduction.
- Do not connect fuses or switches to the noise filter output wiring as this will reduce
the effectiveness of the noise filter.
 Allow approximately 5 seconds for contact output when the instrument is turned on.
Use a delay relay when the output line is used for an external interlock circuit.
