Handling Precautions

Handling Precautions
These handling precautions address issues that can potentially cause the product to
malfunction.
Power and 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
Below 2,000 m altitude
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.

Handling Precautions
© Copyright Reserved Autonics Co., Ltd. ix
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 for 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 of the AC power line.
If possible, use a separate power source (24 VDC) for the communication converter
(SCM-38I, sold separately).
