Teaching with actual values is possible.
Instead of setting by inputting with the Up Key and Shift Key, current values can be
input as scaling input values for teaching. This is useful for making settings while checking the
operation status of the K3MA-J.
The decimal point can be optionally displayed.
When displaying the decimal point, consider the
number of digits to follow the decimal point prior to
setting the scaling display value.
Reverse scaling, where the display value decreases as
the input value increases, is also possible.

Convenient Functions
Scaling Teach
The parameters (inp.1, inp.2) for the K3MA-J’s initial setting level can be set using actual input values with the teaching function. After displaying
the parameters, the actual input settings can be made with the following operation.
OUT Types (Comparative Output Models Only)
OUT 1 and OUT 2 can be set to operate in one of the three following modes in accordance with the compared values:
•Upper limit (High Acting):
The output is turned ON when the measurement value is greater than its set value.
•Lower limit (Low Acting):
The output is turned ON when the measurement value is less than its set value.
•Upper and lower limits (Outside Band Acting):
An upper limit (H set value) and lower limit (L set value) can be set independently.
The output is turned ON when the measurement value is greater than upper-limit set value or less than the lower-limit set value.
The three types of output operations shown above can be combined as desired. The following are examples of possible combinations.
“T” lights to
indicate that the

Process Meter K3MA-J 7
Parameter Initialization
This function returns all of the parameters to their initial values.
Use this to reset the K3MA-J after returning it to its factory-set condi-
tion.
Average Processing
Average processing stabilizes displayed values to minimize flicker by
averaging the fluctuating input signals. Average processing can be
performed for the measurement values in either of four steps (OFF, 2
times, 4 times, or 8 times).
This is useful for ignoring rapid fluctuations, e.g., eliminating spike
noise.
Hysteresis (Comparative Output
Models Only)
The hysteresis of comparative outputs can be set to prevent chatter-
ing in the output when the measurement value fluctuates finely near
the OUT value.
Zero-limit Function
The zero-limit function changes any value below the set value to
zero. This is useful when you want to change negative values to zero
rather than display them, or when you want to make the display in the
smallest part of the input range zero.
Changing the Display Color
The color of the value displayed can be set to either red or green. For
comparative output models, the display color can be set to change
from green to red, or from red to green, according to the status of the
comparison criterion.
Display Auto-return Time
This function automatically returns the display to the operation level’s
current value if no keys are pressed for a preset time (called the dis-
play auto-return time).
Move-to-Protect-Level Time
The time required to shift to the protect level can be set as desired.
Forced-zero Function
It is possible to shift from a value to the zero point with one touch of
the Up Key on the front panel (for example, when adjusting reference
values).
Note: Used only for releasing the forced-zero with the Protect menu.
MAX/MIN Display
The maximum and minimum measurement (display) values from the
time the power is turned ON until the current time can be stored and
displayed. This is useful, for example, when measuring the maximum
value.

application. Failure to do so may cause unexpected operation, re-
sulting in damage to the product or injury.
!Caution
!Caution
Take safety measures, such as installing a separate monitoring
system, to ensure safety even if the product fails. Product failure
may prevent comparative outputs from being generated, resulting
in serious accidents.
Observe the following precautions to ensure safety.
1. Maintain the power supply voltage within the range specified in
the specifications.
2. Maintain the load within the ratings specified in the specifications.
3. Check each terminal for correct number and polarity before con-
necting it. Incorrect or reverse connections may damage or burn
out internal components in the product.
4. Tighten the terminal screws securely. The recommended tighten-
ing torque is 0.43 to 0.58 N⋅m. Loose screws may cause fire or
malfunction.
5. Do not connect anything to unused terminals.
6. Provide a switch or circuit breaker so that operators can easily
turn OFF the power supply when necessary. Also provide appro-
priate indications of such devices.
7. Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the product.
8. Do not use the product where flammable or combustible gases
are present.
Application
General Precautions
1. Do not use the product in the following locations:
• Locations subject to direct radiant heat from heating equip-
ment.
• Locations subject to exposure to water, oil, or chemicals.
• Locations subject to direct sunlight.
• Locations subject to dust or corrosive gases (particularly sul-
furic gas or ammonia gas).
• Locations subject to severe changes in temperature.
• Locations subject to icing or condensation.
• Locations subject to shock or vibration.
2. Do not block heat dissipation around the product, i.e., provide suf-
ficient space for heat dissipation.
3. Ensure that the rated voltage is reached within two seconds after
the power is turned ON.
4. Conduct aging for 15 minutes min. after power is turned ON for
correct measurement.
5. Do not touch the slit sections or terminals while the power is
being supplied to prevent the product from being affected by static
electricity.
6. Do not lay heavy objects on the product during use or storage.
Doing so may deform or deteriorate the product.
7. Do not use paint thinner for cleaning. Use commercially available
alcohol.
Mounting
•Mount the product to a panel that is 1 to 8 mm thick.
•Install the product in a horizontal position.
•Use crimp terminals that match screw sizes.
Noise Prevention
•Install the product as far as possible from devices that generate
strong, high-frequency fields (such as high-frequency welders or
sewing machines) or surges.
•Install surge absorbers or noise filters on nearby devices that gen-
erate noise (particularly, motors, transformers, solenoids, magnet
coils, and other devices that have a high inductance component).
•To prevent inductive noise, separate the terminal block wiring for
the product from high-voltage or high-current power lines. Do not
route the wiring for the product in parallel with or tie it in a bundle
with power lines.
Take the following countermeasures against inductive noise in input
lines.
Analog Signal Inputs
•When using a noise filter for the power supply, check for the voltage
and current and install it as close as possible to the Process Meter.
•Do not install the product near radios, television sets, or wireless
devices. Doing so may cause reception interference.
Increasing Service Life
•Do not use the product in locations where the temperature or
humidity exceeds the ratings or where condensation may occur.
When installing the product in a panel, be sure that the temperature
around the product (not the temperature around the panel) does
not exceed the ratings. The product service life depends on the
ambient temperature. The higher the ambient temperature, the
shorter the service life. To extend the product service life, lower the
temperature inside the Process Meter.
•Use and store the product within the temperature and humidity
ranges given in the specifications. When gang-mounting Process
Meters or arranging them vertically, heat generated by the Process
Meters will cause the internal temperature to rise, reducing the ser-
vice life. In such cases, consider forced cooling methods, such as
using a fan to circulate air around the Process Meters. Do not, how-
ever, allow only the terminals to be cooled. Doing so will increase
measurement error.
•The life of the output relays is greatly affected by the switching
capacity and switching conditions. Use these relays within their
rated load and electrical life. The contacts may fuse or burn if they
are used past their electrical life.

■Setting Example
Initial Settings
The settings for the following example are shown here.
Example: Tank pressure display
Here, the pressure inside the tank is to be displayed in units of 0.1
kPa.
•Pressure Sensor: E8AA-M10
Measuring range: 0 to 980 kPa, output 4 to 20 mA
1. Set the K3MA-J input type to the 4 to 20 mA input range.
Parameter: in-t (input type), Setting value: 4-20
2. Set the display values for the corresponding input values.
Set the scaling as shown below for the following correspondence:
input 4 mA-->display 0.0, input 20 mA-->display 980.0
Parameter Setting value
inp.1 (scaling input value 1) 4.00
dsp.1 (scaling display value 1) 00000
inp.2 (scaling input value 2) 20.00
dsp.2 (scaling display value 2) 09800
dp (decimal point position) %%%%.%
Note: The decimal point position here refers to the position in the
number after scaling. When setting the scaling display value, it
is necessary to consider the number of digits to be displayed
past the decimal point.
■Troubleshooting
When an error occurs, error details will be displayed on the main indicator. Confirm the error from the main indicator and take the appropriate coun-
termeasures.
