■OPERATING MANUAL
This manual describes detailed operation regarding set-
tings.
The M1EXV-4 is programmable using a PC. For detailed
information on the PC configuration, refer to the M1ECFG
(M1E4CFG) users manual (EM-6041).
The M1ECFG Configurator Software is downloadable at M-
System’s web site: http://www.m-system.co.jp
POINTS OF CAUTION
■CONFORMITY WITH EU DIRECTIVES
• The equipment must be mounted inside a panel.
• The actual installation environments such as panel con-
figurations, connected devices, connected wires, may af-
fect 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 conform-
ity.
• Install lightning surge protectors for those wires connect-
ed to remote locations.
■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%, ≤ 5W
■GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
• Before you remove the unit from its base 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 10 to 85% RH
in order to ensure adequate life span and operation.
• Be sure that the ventilation slits are not covered with ca-
bles, etc.
■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.
• With voltage output, do not leave the output terminals
shortcircuited for a long time. The unit is designed to
endure it without breakdown, however, it may shorten ap-
propriate life duration.

COMPONENT FUNCTION
Display Indicates present values, setting values and abnormal information.
Two types of present values are displayed respectively at the upper and lower parts according to setting.
Mode button Shifts from Measuring mode to each setting mode.
The destination changes depending on how long the button is held down.
While in each setting mode, pressing Mode button shift to the setting mode for the next channel.
Pressing Mode button for ≥ 2 seconds returns to Measuring mode from each setting mode.
In Measuring mode, shortly pressing the button shifts to the next screen.
Set button Shifts the setting value of each setting parameter item to a setting changeable state.
When at setting changeable state, used to move through the digits of setting value and to enter (save)
the setting value.
Up button Shifts through setting parameter items and to increase or select the setting value.
Down button Shifts through setting parameter items and to decrease or select the setting value.
Configurator Jack Used to perform configuration with M1E configurator software (model: M1ECFG).
When using the software, set the Lockout setting of the unit to ‘Lock’.

■OPERATION IN EACH SETTING MODE
• Basic operation
Mode button: In Measuring mode, hold down Mode button for ≥ 1.5 seconds, ≥ 3 seconds, ≥ 4.5 seconds, ≥ 6 seconds, or
≥ 7.5 seconds to shift to the respective setting modes.
In each setting mode, hold down Mode button for ≥ 2 seconds to return to Measuring mode.
While in each setting mode, press Mode button to shift to the setting mode for the next channel.
Hold down Mode button for ≥ 2 seconds during setting ( ‘(Setting)’ is displayed next to ‘DATA’) to discard
the set value and to return the value to the value before setting change (‘(Setting)’ next to ‘DATA’ is
cleared).
Set button: By pressing Set button at each setting parameter item, the setting value starts blinking and becomes
changeable (‘(Setting)’ is indicated next to ‘DATA’.).
During setting change, press Set button to save (enter) the setting value. and confirm that the value that
was blinking turns ON.
Up button: Press Up button to shift through setting parameter items.
During setting change, press Up button to select the setting value or increase the numerical value.
Keeping pressing Up button increases the value continuously.
Down button: Press Down button to shift through setting parameter items.
During setting change, press Down button to select the setting value or decrease the numerical value.
Keeping pressing Down button decreases the value continuously.
Note: DO NOT press 2 or more buttons simultaneously.
• Setting numerical parameter
When setting a numerical parameter, the value need to be set digit by digit.
Each time Set button is pressed, the next digit starts blinking.
At the blinking digit, change the numerical value with Up and Down buttons.
By keeping pressing Up or Down button while the digit is blinking, the value of the digit continuously increases or decreases
to the maximum or minimum.
Each time Set button is pressed, the blinking digit moves from the least significant to the most significant in order.
When Set button is pressed at the most significant digit, the digit that was blinking turns ON, and the setting value is saved.
During setting, to discard the setting value change, hold down Mode button for ≥ 2 seconds.
