Precautions for Correct Use
* Do not connect an End Unit directly to an Advanced Unit.
* Always connect an End Unit to the right side of a Basic Unit.
* This Unit cannot be connected to the CJ1 Series.
* Use the EJ1G-□□ in the configuration when performing gradient temperature control, and use the EJ1N-□□
when not performing gradient temperature control.
* When removing the terminal block and replacing the Unit, make sure that the new Unit matches the original Unit.

* Terminals A10 and B10 of the screw-less clamp terminals are not used.
* Port A (Connector) is used only to connect the Temperature Controller to a computer when using the Setup Tool.
E58-CIFQ1 USB-Serial Conversion Cable is required for the connection. (Do not use the product with the Cable left permanently
connected.) Refer to the Instruction Manual provided with the USB-Serial Conversion Cable for details on connection methods.
* When wiring a voltage input, be sure to connect the correct terminals. Incorrect wiring may cause EJ1 failure.

●Warning Symbols
CAUTION
Do not touch the terminals while power is being supplied.
Doing so may occasionally result in minor injury due to electric shock.
Use a power supply that complies with the reinforced insulation
specified in IEC 60664 for the EJ1 external power supply or the power
supply connected to the EJ1. If non-compliant power supplies are
used, electric shock may occasionally result in minor injury.
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.
Never disassemble, modify, or repair the product or touch any of the
internal parts.
Minor electric shock, fire, or malfunction may occasionally occur.
Tighten the terminal screws to between 0.40 and 0.56 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.
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.
Gradient temperature control controls the average temperature for
multiple channels. Therefore, if a heater burnout occurs during gradient
temperature control, the temperature for that channel will drop and the
temperature for the other channels will rise, which may occasionally result
in property damage. During gradient temperature control, provide safety
measures using information such as using the heater burnout alarm and
temperature data for each channel.

●To Conform to UL/CSA Standards
•The power supply terminals must be supplied from a
SELV, limited-current source.
A SELV (safety extra-low voltage) source is a power supply
having double or reinforced insulation between the primary
and the secondary circuits and having an output voltage of
30 V r.m.s. max. and 42.4 V peak max. or 60 VDC max.
•This is a class A product. In residential environment areas
it may cause radio interference, in which case the user
the
may be required to take adequate measures to reduce
interference.
●Functional insulation is provided between the power supply,
input, output, and power supply terminals. If reinforced or
double insulation is required, use a power supply that
complies with the reinforced or double insulation standards
specified in IEC 60664 for the EJ1 external power supply
and for the power supply connected to the EJ1.
Precautions for Safe Use
1) The product is designed for indoor use only. Do not use the product outdoors or in any of the following locations.
• Places directly subject to heat radiated from heating equipment.
• Places subject to splashing liquid or oil atmosphere.
• Places subject to direct sunlight.
• Places subject to dust or corrosive gas (in particular, sulfide gas or ammonia gas).
• Places subject to intense temperature change.
• Places subject to icing or condensation.
• Places subject to vibration or strong shocks.
2) Use and store the product within the rated temperature and humidity ranges. Provide forced-cooling if required.
3) To allow heat to escape, do not block the area around the product. Do not block the ventilation holes on the product.
4) Be sure to wire properly with correct polarity of terminals.
5) Use specified size (M3, width 5.8 mm or less) crimped terminals for wiring. To connect bare wires to the
terminal block, use copper braided or solid wires with a gage of AWG22 to AWG14 (equal to cross-
sectional area of 0.326 to 2.081 mm
cross-sectional area of 0.081 to 1.309 mm
Up to two wires of same size and type, or two crimped terminals can be inserted into a single terminal.
6) Do not wire terminals that do not have an identified use.
7) Allow as much space as possible between the product and devices that generate a powerful high-
frequency or surge. Separate the high-voltage or large-current power lines from other lines, and avoid
parallel or common wiring with the power lines when you are wiring to the terminals.
8) Use the product within the rated load and power supply.
9) Make sure that the rated voltage is attained within 2 seconds of turning ON the power.
10) Make sure that the product has 30 minutes or more to warm up after turning ON the power before
starting actual control operations to ensure the correct temperature display.
11) The switch or circuit breaker must be within easy reach of the operator, and must be marked as a
disconnecting means for this unit.
12) Do not use paint thinner or similar chemical to clean with. Use standard grade alcohol.
13) Design the system (e.g., the control panel) allowing leeway for the delay required before product outputs
are valid after turning ON power to the product.
14) Never touch the electronic components, connectors, or patterns on product boards with your bare
hands. Always hold the product by the case. Inappropriately handling the product may occassionally
damage internal components due to static electricity.
15) Use a switch, relay, or other device with contacts to turn OFF the power supply quickly. Gradually
lowering the voltage of the power supply may result in incorrect outputs or memory errors.
16) Do not touch the electronic components with your hands or subject them to shock when removing the
terminal block.
17) Connect only the specified number of products in only a specified configuration.
18) Mount the product to a DIN Rail mounted vertically to the ground.
19) Always turn OFF the power supply before wiring the product, replacing the product, or changing the
product configuration.
20) Attach the enclosed cover seal to the connector opening on the left end product during installation.
21) Do not use port B on the End Units when using port C on Advanced Units.
