■MODEL NO.
Confirm Model No. marking on the product to be exactly
what you ordered.
■INSTRUCTION MANUAL
This manual describes necessary points of caution when
you use this product, including installation, connection and
basic maintenance procedures.
POINTS OF CAUTION
■POWER INPUT RATING & OPERATIONAL RANGE
• Locate the power input rating marked on the product and
confirm its operational range as indicated below:
24V DC rating: 24V ±10%,
approx. 35mA with voltage output
approx. 65mA with current output
■GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
• Before you remove the unit or mount it, turn off the power
supply and input signal for safety.
■ENVIRONMENT
• Indoor use.
• When heavy dust or metal particles are present in the
air, install the unit inside proper housing with sufficient
ventilation.
• Do not install the unit where it is subjected to continuous
vibration. Do not subject the unit to physical impact.
• Environmental temperature must be within -5 to +55°C
(23 to 131°F) with relative humidity within 30 to 90% RH
in order to ensure adequate life span and operation.
■WIRING
• Do not install cables close to noise sources (relay drive
cable, high frequency line, etc.).
• Do not bind these cables together with those in which
noises are present. Do not install them in the same duct.
■AND ....
• The unit is designed to function as soon as power is sup-
plied, however, a warm up for 10 minutes is required for
satisfying complete performance described in the data
sheet.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
■SCREW TERMINAL
Torque: 0.8 N·m
CHECKING
1) Terminal wiring: Check that all cables are correctly con-
nected according to the connection diagram.
2) Power input voltage: Check voltage supplied to the rack
(model: 18KBXx). For the DC power source, be sure that
the ripple level is within 10% p-p.
3) Input: Check voltage across the terminal 1 – 2 with a
sensitive voltmeter (With 20°C or 68°F, approx. 220mV
with Pt 100, approx. 110mV with Pt 50 Ω).
If RTD wires are broken, the output goes over 100% (be-
low 0% with downscale) due to burnout function. Check
leadwires in such a case.
4) Output: Check that the load resistance meets the de-
scribed specifications.
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
This unit is calibrated at the factory to meet the ordered
specifications, therefore you usually do not need any cali-
bration.
The output signal can be finely adjusted to match it to a re-
ceiving instrument, or to compensate input wire resistance
when the unit is combined with a zenor barrier. Follow the
regular calibration procedure explained below:
■HOW TO CALIBRATE THE OUTPUT 1
Use a signal source and measuring instruments of sufficient
accuracy level. Turn the power supply on and warm up for
more than 10 minutes.
1) ZERO: Apply 0% input and adjust output to 0%.
2) SPAN: Apply 100% input and adjust output to 100%.
3) Check ZERO adjustment again with 0% input.
4) When ZERO value is changed, repeat the above proce-
dure 1) – 3).
5) No need of adjustments for the Output 2.
MAINTENANCE
Regular calibration procedure is explained below:
■CALIBRATION
Warm up the unit for at least 10 minutes. Apply 0%, 25%,
50%, 75% and 100% input signal. Check that the output
signal for the respective input signal remains within accu-
racy described in the data sheet. When the output is out of
tolerance, recalibrate the unit according to the “ADJUST-
MENT PROCEDURE” explained earlier.
