Thank you for purchasing this RKC product. In order to achieve maximum performance and ensure
proper operation of the instrument, carefully read all the instructions in this manual. Please place
the manual in a convenient location for easy reference. This manual descries basic key operations
of the FZ110/400/900.
For detailed handling procedures and key operations, refer to separate
FZ110/FZ400/FZ900 Instruction Manual.
The manual can be downloaded from the official RKC website:
http://www.rkcinst.com/english/manual_load.htm
Notes for the display
FZ110/400/900 are available in two types: single input type and dual input type.
The dual input type is further categorized into two types: Dual PV type (for FZ400/900) and
PV + Remote setting type (for FZ110/400/900).
For a dual input model, the same parameter may exist in both Input 1 and Input 2.
"1." or "2." is added to the top of the parameters for identification.

To store a new value for the parameter, always press the
key. The display changes to the next parameter
and the new value will be stored. The modified data will not be stored only by operating the
keys. In the Operation transfer mode, however, the selected mode will be valid only by the operations of these
keys.
In case of the Set value (SV), the instrument can be configured in the H: Engineering mode so that the
modified set value will be adopted 2 seconds after the change without pressing the
In case no operation is performed within 60 seconds after the change of the setting, the mode will return to
A: Monitor and SV setting mode. The modified data will not be registered in this case.

Outline of memory area
The Memory area function is to store up to 16 areas (patterns) of parameters such as
a Set value (SV). This parameter can be found in the F: Parameter setting mode. Any
one area out of 16 areas can be called up for the control.

Parameters in the Engineering mode should be set according to the application before setting any
I
parameters related to operation. Once the Parameters in the Engineering mode are set correctly, no
further changes need to be made to parameters for the same application under normal conditions. If they
are changed unnecessarily, it may result in malfunction or failure of the instrument. RKC will not bear any
responsibility for malfunction or failure as a result of improper changes in the Engineering mode.
