PCR-M 3
Installation and Preparation
Connecting the Power Cord (PCR500M)
The power cord provided with the product varies depending
on the type. This product is designed as an equipment of
IEC Overvoltage Category II (energy-consuming equipment
supplied from the fixed installation).
WARNING
Possible electric shock.
• This product is an IEC Safety Class I equipment
(equipment with a protective conductor terminal).
Be sure to ground (earth) the unit.
• Connect the protective conductor terminal to earth
ground.
CAUTION
If the voltage distortion of the AC power line is large, it
can lead to malfunction. The PCR-M cannot be connect-
ed to a generator or a similar device.
- Note -
• Use the supplied power cord to connect to the AC line.
If the supplied power cord cannot be used due to the rat-
ed voltage or the plug shape, have a qualied engineer
replace it with an appropriate power cord of length 3 m
or less. If obtaining a power cord is difcult, consult your
Kikusui agent or distributor.
• The power cord with a plug can be used to disconnect
the PCR-M from the AC line in an emergency. Connect
the plug to an easily accessible power outlet so that the
plug can be removed from the outlet at any time. Be
sure to allow enough space around the power outlet.
• Do not use the supplied power cord on other instru-
ments.
1
Check that the AC power line complies with
the input rating of the PCR-M.
The voltage that can be applied is any of the nomi-
nal power supply voltages in the range of 100 Vac to
120 Vac or 200 Vac to 240 Vac. The frequency is 50 Hz
or 60 Hz.
2
Check that the POWER switch is turned off.
3
Connect the power cord to the AC INPUT in-
let on the rear panel.
4
Insert the power plug to an outlet.

4 PCR-M
Installation and Preparation
Connecting the Power Cord (PCR1000M - PCR4000M)
When the power cord with the plug is attached to the
PCR1000M, see the case of model PCR500M.
This product conforms to IEC Overvoltage Category II (en-
ergy-consuming equipment that is supplied from a fixed
installation).
WARNING
Possible electric shock.
• This product is an IEC Safety Class I equipment
(equipment with a protective conductor terminal).
Be sure to ground (earth) the unit.
• Connect the protective conductor terminal to earth
ground.
• Turn off the circuit breaker of switchboard before
connecting the cord.
• Do not use the terminal block with the terminal cov-
er removed.
Possible Fire.
• The breaker of switchboard is required to meet fol-
lowing requirement.
• Have a qualied engineer connect the power cord
to the switchboard.
CAUTION
If the voltage distortion of the AC power line is large, it can
lead to malfunction. The PCR-M cannot be connected to
a generator or a similar device.
Inside the product, protective circuits including input fuses
are connected to match the polarity of the input terminal.
Make sure the colors of the wires connected to the corre-
sponding input terminals (L, N, and (GND)) are correct.
- Note -
Turn off the circuit breaker of switchboard to disconnect
the PCR-M from the AC line in an emergency.
Circuit breaker of switchboard requirement
• Rated current
PCR1000M: 20 A (The circuit breaker of which the rated
current is more than 20 A is disabled for safety.)
PCR2000M: 40 A (The circuit breaker of which the rated
current is more than 40 A is disabled for safety.)
PCR4000M: 80 A (The circuit breaker of which the rated
current is more than 80 A is disabled for safety.)
• Dedicate the circuit breaker for the PCR-M.
• Keep the switchboard easily accessible at any time.
• Require labeling to identify that the circuit breaker is ded-
icated for the PCR-M and disconnecting device.

If the POWER switch is turned on for the first time after
purchasing the PCR-M, the PCR-M starts up using factory
default settings. For all other cases, the PCR-M starts up
using the settings that existed when the POWER switch was
turned off the last time.
If the ALARM LED illuminates or an error number is dis-
played, see page 22 “Protection Functions and Alarm
Errors”.
Turning the POWER switch off
Push the ( ) side of the POWER switch to turn the PCR-M
off.
The PCR-M stores the values below at 5-second intervals.
When the POWER switch is turned on, these items start up
with the values that existed when the POWER switch was
turned off the last time.

The output on/off state is not stored. The PCR-M always
starts up with the output turned off when the power is
turned on.
If the POWER switch is turned off immediately after chang-
ing the settings, the last settings may not be stored.
CAUTION
Risk of malfunction. After turning the POWER switch off, wait
at least 5 seconds before turning it back on.

PCR-M 7
Installation and Preparation
Connecting the Load
The maximum current that the PCR-M Series can generate
varies depending on the model. It also varies depending on
the PCR-M Series’ output mode, load type, and status. En-
sure that the output power capacity is sufficient for the load
capacity. The maximum output currents (in AC mode - AC
rms, with an output voltage of 1 V to 100 V or 2 V to 200 V,
and with a load power factor of 0.8 to 1) for the different
models are shown in the table.

■Preparation of Wire
For connecting the load, use the noncombustible type of
load wires which must be rated to carry the maximum rated
output current.

The values vary depending on conditions such as the wire
covering (insulator), the wire material (allowable tempera-
ture), and whether there are multiple cores in the cable. For
cables other than those specified in this table, consult with
a qualified engineer.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock.
• Use load cables whose capacity is adequate for the
PCR-M series' rated output current.
• Use load cables with a voltage rating that meets or
exceeds the PCR-M series’ isolation voltage (380
Vdc).
• Before you connect cables to the OUTPUT terminal
block, be sure to turn the POWER switch off, and
then remove the power plug from the outlet or turn
off the switchboard.
- Note -
The L and N terminals of the OUTPUT terminal block are
isolated from the input power supply. The polarity does not
constitute a problem in terms of safety. You can use either
L or N to ground the product.
In DC mode and AC+DC mode, N is the reference. When
N has a positive polarity, L is positive electric potential.
When N has a negative polarity, L is negative electric po-
tential.
When the POWER switch is on, even if the output is off, a
dangerous voltage exists between the output terminal (L
or N) and the chassis (G-ground). To eliminate the voltage
between the output terminal and the chassis, connect N
and G of the OUTPUT terminal block.

■When the load is located at a distance from the
PCR-M
The remote control enables to turn the output off, but not
for the POWER switch off. If the load is used connecting at
a distance from the PCR-M, install the switch between the
OUTPUT terminal block and the load to prevent electric
shock, then turn the switch off.
WARNING
Possible electric shock
• When installing the switch between the OUTPUT
terminal block and the load, be sure to turn the
POWER switch off and removing the power plug
from an outlet or turn off the circuit breaker of
switchboard.
• The current rating of the switch must be great-
er than or equal to the maximum current of the
PCR-M.
• For the switch circuit, use a two-pole type switch
that cuts off L and N wires simultaneously.
• Be sure to turn the switch off before connecting the
load to the terminal at the load end of the switch.
• Do not touch the switch terminal when the output
is on. Do not touch the switch terminals when the
POWER switch is on. Before you connect cables
to the OUTPUT terminal block, be sure to turn the
POWER switch off, and then turn off the switch-
board.
