1. POINTS OF CAUTION
Thank you for choosing M-System. Before use, please read this manual carefully. If you
have any problems or questions with the product, please contact M-System’s Sales Office
or representatives.
This product is for use in general industrial environments, therefore may not be suitable
for applications which require higher level of safety (e.g. safety or accident prevention
systems) or of reliability (e.g. vehicle control or combustion control systems).
For safety, installation and maintenance of this product must be conducted by qualied
personnel.
■CONFORMITY WITH EC DIRECTIVES
• This equipment is suitable for use in a Pollution Degree 2 environment and in Installation
Category II. Reinforced insulation (alarm output to RUN contact output to power input
to FG/Ethernet/RS-485: 300V) is maintained. *
Prior to installation, check that the insulation class of this unit satises the system re-
quirements.
• The equipment must be mounted on a panel surface. Once mounted on a panel, take
appropriate precautions to prevent operators to be exposed to the terminal block*.
In order to enable the operator to turn off the power input immediately, install a switch or
a circuit breaker according to the relevant requirements in IEC 60947-1 and IEC 60947-
3 and properly indicate it*.
• Altitude up to 2000 meters*
• Insert a noise lter for the power source and RS-485 line connected to the unit. NEC
Tokin Noise Filter Model ESD-SR-250 or equivalent is recommended.
• The actual installation environments such as panel congurations, connected devices,
connected wires, may affect the protection level of this unit when it is integrated in a
panel system. The user may have to review the CE requirements in regard to the whole
system and employ additional protective measures to ensure the CE conformity.
*Except desktop type
■POWER INPUT
• Power input rating & operational range: Check the power rating for the unit on the speci-
cation label.
Rating 100 – 240V AC: 85 – 264V, 47 – 66 Hz,
approx. 15VA at 100V, approx. 20VA at 240V
Rating 24V DC: 24V ±10%, approx. 8W, 340mA
• Supplying any level of power other than specied above can damage the 73VR1100 or
the power source.
• The power cables and the signal I/O cables for the 73VR1100 must be located sepa-
rately.
• The main circuit cables (high voltage and high current), the signal I/O cables, and the
power cables should not be bundled together or placed near each other.
•
To increase noise resistance of the power input wires, twist the strands before connecting.

■SAFETY PRECAUTION
• Before you remove the unit, turn off the power supply and input signal for safety.
• Do not use the 73VR1100 in an environment where ammable gases are present. This
may result in an explosion.
• Do not disassemble or modify the 73VR1100 in any way. Doing so may result in a re
or an electrical shock.
• Do not strike the panel of the 73VR1100 with a hard, heavy or pointed object, or press
the panel with excessive force. Doing so may result in panel damage or injury.
• Do not block the 73VR1100’s ventilation openings or use it in areas where heat accu-
mulates. Additionally, do not store or use it under high-temperature conditions.
• Do not store or use the 73VR1100 in locations subject to direct sunlight, or where exces-
sive dust or dirt is present.
• The 73VR1100 is a precision instrument. Do not store or use it where large shocks or
excessive vibration can occur.
• Do not store or use the 73VR1100 in environments subject to chemical evaporation
(such as that of organic solvents), or where there are chemicals and/or acids present in
the air.
• Do not use paint thinner or organic solvents to clean the 73VR1100.
• Observe the environmental conditions when using the 73VR1100.
• Wait at least for 5 seconds before turning on the power supply after it has been turned
off. The 73VR1100 may not start up if the time interval is less than 5 seconds.
■ENVIRONMENT
• Indoor use
• The 73VR1100 is designed to be mounted on a vertical panel. It is not suitable for a
slanted or a horizontal panel surface.
• Environmental temperature must be within 0 to 50°C (32 to 122°F) with relative humidity
within 30 to 85% RH in order to ensure adequate life span and operation.
• Desktop type cannot be mounted on a panel surface.
• The handle and rubber feet cannot be detached from desktop type unit.
■GROUNDING
• Be sure to determine in advance the most stable grounding point in the environment
and earth the 73VR1100’s FG terminal and that of connected devices (PC) to it in order
to protect the devices from dielectric breakdown.
• Grounding is also effective to eliminate noise that could cause errors in the 73VR1100’s
operation.
■CF CARD
• Do not turn off the power supply to the 73VR1100 or reset it during recording. The CF
Card may be destroyed.
• Observe the described procedure when you need to replace the CF Card during record-
ing.
• Conrm the sides and the connector position of the CF Card when inserting one to the
card slot.

■LCD PANEL
• The LCD panel’s liquid contains an irritant. If the panel is damaged and the liquid con-
tacts your skin, rinse immediately the contact area with running water for at least 15
minutes. If the liquid gets in your eyes, rinse immediately your eyes with running water
for at least 15 minutes and consult a doctor.
• The following phenomena are LCD characteristics, and NOT a product defect:
- LCD screen may show uneven brightness depending upon displayed images or con-
trast settings.
- The LCD screen pixels may contain minute black-and-white-colored spots.
- The color displayed on the LCD screen may appear different when seen from outside
the specied viewing angle.
- When the same image is displayed on the screen for a long time period, an afterim-
age may appear when the image is changed. If this happens, turn off the 73VR1100
and wait 10 seconds before restarting it.
• To prevent an afterimage:
- Set the screensaver when you plan to display the same image for a long time pe-
riod.
- Plan to change the screen image periodically so that the same image does not remain
for the long time period.
■BACKLIGHT
• Even when the backlight is failed, the screen display can be controlled by touching it.
• Backlight failure is conrmed by the following phenomena:
- The screen gets dark even when no screensaver setting is enabled.
- If the screensaver is activated, the screen display does not recover when the screen
is touched.
• The backlight can be replaced in M-System factory. The LCD must be replaced at the
same time. Please consult M-System.
■INTERNAL CLOCK
• The internal clock data is stored in memory powered by a backup battery while the
73VR1100 is without external power supply.
• The data will be reset to its default status when the battery is used up while the 73VR1100
is left without power supply for a long time period. The clock adjustment will be nec-
essary once the power is restored. Please refer to the 73VR1100 Users Manual (EM-
7399-C, Section 5) for the procedure.
• Once the power is restored, the 73VR1100 starts recharging the battery. It will be full
in approximately in 36 to 48 hours.
■AND ....
• We recommend use of an UPS to supply power backups.
• The module is designed to function as soon as power is supplied, however, a warm up
for 10 minutes is required for satisfying complete performance described in the data
sheet.

■PANEL MOUNTING
(1) Insert the 73VR1100 from the front side of the panel.
(2) Remote the sheets covering the mounting bracket holes. Fix two mounting brackets
either on the sides or on the top and bottom of the unit. Tighten screws.
CAUTION !
Adequate tightening torque for the screws used to mount the unit onto the panel is be-
tween 0.8 and 1.2 N·m. If an excessive force is applied, the unit’s enclosure may be
destroyed, or the panel may be distorted, which would cause a compromise in the unit’s
protection against water or liquid ingress.

7.3 SETTING UP & CONNECTING I/O DEVICES
■SETTING UP THE R1M-GH2
Node address and signal type must be set.
(1) Node address
Set the rear rotary switch to ‘1.’
If the power is supplied to the R1M-GH2 when setting the address, turn off and on the
power supply to enable the new setting.
(2) Signal type
Set the DIP switches at the bottom of the unit.
In this example, ‘-5 to +5V’ will be used. Set the switches for the voltage ‘exceeding
0.8V.’ (This setting is actually the factory default setting.)
