Safety Precautions
Following these safety precautions will ensure the safe and proper use of the product
and help prevent accidents, as well as minimizing possible hazards.
Safety precautions are categorized as Warnings and Cautions, as defined below:
Warning Failure to follow the instructions may lead to a serious injury
or accident.
Caution Failure to follow the instructions may lead to a minor injury
or accident.
If using the product to control machines or devices having serious impact potential on
lives and/or property (applications in nuclear power plants, medical equipment,
vehicles, trains, aviations, combustion systems, entertainment devices, safety devices,
etc.), Always use in conjunction with redundant failsafe systems in place.
It may cause fire, personal injury, and/or property loss if not followed.
Always install the unit on a panel.
It may cause an electric shock if not followed.
Never wire, repair, or inspect the unit while electricity is flowing through it.
It may cause an electric shock if not followed.
Check the input power specifications and terminal polarity before connecting the
wires.
It may cause a fire if not followed.
Only an Autonics technician is authorized to service or modify the product.
It may cause an electric shock or fire if not followed.
Do not use outdoors.
It may shorten the life of the product and/or cause an electric shock if not followed.
Always use AWG 20 (0.5 mm2) or higher when wiring to the relay's output terminals.
It may pose a fire risk if not followed.
Always use within the range of rated specifications and performance.

Safety Precautions

It may shorten the lifespan of the product and/or pose a fire risk if not followed.
Do not allow loads in excess of the rated switching capacity on relay contacts.
It may damage the insulation, relay contacts and/or cause a fire or faulty connection if
not followed.
Do not use water or an oil-based solvent to clean the product. Use a dry towel instead.
It may pose an electric shock or fire risk if not followed.
Do not use the product in a place where it is exposed to flammable or explosive
gases, humidity, direct light, radiant heat, vibration, or impact.
It may pose a fire or an explosion risk if not followed.
Do not allow dust or wiring fragments to get inside the product.
It may pose a fire or a malfunction risk if not followed.
Check the terminal's polarity first to properly wire the temperature sensor.
It may pose a fire or an explosion risk if not followed.
◈Handling Precautions
These handling precautions address issues that can potentially cause the product to
malfunction.
Power & Usage Environment
Use the rated power only.
Maintain the controller's ambient temperature between -10℃ and 50℃.
Turn the power on and allow the temperature controller to warm-up for twenty
minutes before use.
A power switch or a circuit-breaker is necessary to supply and cut off power to the
product.
Install the switch or circuit-breaker in the vicinity of the product to facilitate easy
access.
Use the product in a well-ventilated environment. Otherwise, arrange for ventilation if
necessary.
Recommended usage conditions are as follows:
Indoors
Under 2,000 m altitude

Safety Precautions

Pollution Degree 2
Installation Category II
Sensor Input
If using in an environment where the margin of sensor error cannot be avoided, use
the Input Bias feature to minimize the error margin.
If using a thermocouple sensor, make sure to use prescribed compensation wire as
extension wire. Failure to do so will produce temperature distortion at the junction
between the thermocouple and the extension wire.
If using a resistance temperature detector (RTD) sensor, always make connection
with three-wire configuration. In addition, only use three wires of identical material,
thickness and length if you need to extend the line. Variance in wire resistance will
lead to temperature distortion.
When changing an input sensor, first disconnect power to the product and then
connect the new sensor. Restore power to the product and update the related
parameters either directly from the product or using the PC loader program.
Always use a line filter on the controller's power line. Also, use shielded wire for the
input signal line, provided it is necessary the power line and the input signal line must
remain close to one another.
Noise Effect
Isolate the product's wiring from high-voltage lines and power lines to prevent impulse
noise.
Avoid using the product in the vicinity of high-frequency noise generating devices.
Such as: welding machines, sewing machines, high-capacity SCR controllers, and
high-capacity motors.
Avoid using the product in the vicinity of radio, television, and wireless devices that
may cause high-frequency interference.
Communication
Only use twisted pair wires for the communication lines. Attach round ferrules at the
ends of the lines to reduce the impact of external noise.
Do not have the communication lines in close proximity to the AC power line.
If possible, use a separate power source (24 VDC) for the communication converter
(SCM-38I, sold separately).
