Caution
• Do not leave bits of wire in the KT7 series when wiring, because they could cause a fire or malfunction.
• Insert the connecting cable into the designated connector securely. Otherwise malfunction may occur due
to imperfect contact.
• Connect the AC power wire to the designated terminal as is written in this instruction manual, otherwise
it may burn and damage the KT7 series.
• Tighten the terminal screw with the specified torque. Excessive force could damage the terminal screw
and deface the case.
• To extend a thermocouple’s lead wire, be sure to use a compensating lead wire in accordance with the sensor
input specification. (If any other compensating lead wire is used, a temperature indication error may be caused.)
• Use the 3-wire RTD that corresponds to the sensor input specification of this unit.
• When using DC voltage and current input types, do not confuse the polarity when wiring.
• For a 24V AC/DC power source, do not confuse polarity when using direct current (DC).
• Keep input wires (Thermocouple, RTD, etc) away from power source and load wires to avoid external
interference.
• To prevent the unit from harmful effects of the unexpected level noise, it is recommended that a surge
absorber be installed between the electromagnetic switch coils.
• This unit does not have built-in power switch, circuit breaker or fuse. Therefore, it is necessary to install
them in the circuit externally, near the controller.
(Recommended fuse: Time-lag fuse, rated voltage 250V AC, rated current 2A)

ARW function
ARW (Anti-reset windup) prevents overshoot caused by the integral action. The smaller the ARW value, the less
the overshoot caused by the integral action in the transition status, however it takes time until stabilization.
Sensor correction function
This corrects the input value from the sensor. When a sensor cannot be set at a location where control
is desired, the sensor measuring temperature may deviate from the temperature in the controlled
location. When controlling with plural controllers, the accuracy of sensors affects the control. Therefore,
sometimes the measured temperatures (input value) do not concur.
In such a case, the control can be set at the desired temperature by adjusting the input value of sensors.
Energized/Deenergized function
When [alarm action Energized] is selected, the alarm output (between terminals 8-9) is conducted (ON)
while the alarm output indicator is lit.
The alarm output is not conducted (OFF) while the alarm output indicator is not lit.
When [alarm action Deenergized] is selected, the alarm output (between terminals 8-9) is not conducted
(OFF) while the alarm output indicator is lit.
The alarm output is conducted (ON) while the alarm output indicator is not lit.
[This function is not available for the Loop break alarm and Heater burnout alarm (optional).]

6. Converter function
Caution
• The converter function is selectable only for the DC current output type.
• When using this controller as a converter, take 1 second into consideration since
input/output response time is approx. 1 second.
• When switching from converter function to controller function, the control parameter and
values set by converter function are held even if the function is switched to controller
function.
So, correct the control parameters and values which has been set by converter function to
the values necessary for the controller function after switching to the controller function.
The converter function of this instrument converts each input (thermocouple, RTD, DC voltage and DC
current input) value to “4 to 20mA DC” using the control parameter of the controller, and outputs it.
When this instrument is used as a converter, follow steps (1) to (7) described below.
After steps (1) to (7) are finished, this instrument can be used as a converter.
(1) Wire this controller (Power supply, Input and Output).
(2) Turn the power of this controller ON.
(3) Enter “Auxiliary function setting mode 2” by pressing the and key (for approx. 3sec).
(4) Select the sensor type from “Input type selection ( )”.
(5) Set the high limit of the value that is going to be converted during “Scaling high limit setting ( )”.
(6) Set the low limit of the value that is going to be converted during “Scaling low limit setting ( )”.
(7) Select “Converter ( )” from “Controller/Converter function selection ( )”.
• To activate the alarm action by Converter function, set the alarm type to Process alarm.
If converter function is selected from “Controller/Converter function selection” in Auxiliary function setting

10. PID auto-tuning of this controller
In order to decide each value of P, I, D and ARW automatically, the auto-tuning process should be
made to fluctuate to obtain an optimal value.
Sometimes the auto-tuning process will not fluctuate if auto-tuning is performed at or near
room temperature. Therefore auto-tuning might not finish normally.
(A) In the case of a large difference between the SV and processing temperature as the
temperature is rising
When AT bias is set to 20 , the AT process will fluctuate at the temperature 20 lower than the SV.

12. Troubleshooting
If any malfunctions occur, refer to the following items after checking the power supply to the controller.
12.1 IndicationProblem Presumed cause and solution
PV display is indicating
[ ]. • Control output OFF function is working.
Press the key for approx. 1 second to release the function.
[ ] is flashing on the
PV display.
• Burnoutofthermocouple,RTDordisconnectionofDCvoltage(0to1VDC)
Change each sensor.
How to check whether the sensor is burnt out
[Thermocouple]
If the input terminals of the instrument are shorted, and if a value
around room temperature is indicated, the instrument is likely to
be operating normally, however, the sensor may be burnt out.
[RTD]
If approx. 100 of resistance is connected to the input terminals
between A-B of the instrument and between B-B is shorted, and
if a value around 0 (32 ) is indicated, the instrument is likely to
be operating normally, however, the sensor may be burnt out.
[DC voltage (0 to 1V DC)]
If the input terminals of the instrument are shorted, and if a
scaling low limit value is indicated, the instrument is likely to be
operating normally, however, the signal wire may be disconnected.
• Check whether the input terminals of thermocouple, RTD or DC voltage
(0 to 1V DC) are securely mounted to the instrument input terminal.
Connect the sensor terminals to the instrument input terminals securely.
[ ] is flashing on the
PV display.
• Check whether input signal source for DC voltage (1 to 5V DC) or
DC current (4 to 20mA DC) is disconnected.
How to check whether the input signal wire is disconnected
[DC voltage (1 to 5V DC)]
If the input to the input terminals of the instrument is 1V DC and if
a scaling low limit value is indicated, the instrument is likely to be
operating normally, however, the signal wire may be disconnected.
[DC current (4 to 20mA DC)]
If the input to the input terminals of the instrument is 4mA DC and
if a scaling low limit value is indicated, the instrument is likely to be
operating normally, however, the signal wire may be disconnected.
•CheckwhetherinputsignalwireforDCvoltage(1to5VDC)orDCcurrent
(4 to 20mA D
C) is securely connected to the instrument input terminals.
• Check if polarity of thermocouple or compensating lead wire is correct.
• Checkwhethercodes(A,B,B)ofRTDagreewiththeinstrumentterminals.

The PV display keeps
indicating the value which
was set during Scaling low
limit setting.
•
Check whether the input signal source for DC voltage (0 to 5V DC,
0 to 10V DC) and DC current (0 to 20mA DC) is disconnected.
How to check whether the input signal wire is disconnected
[DC voltage (0 to 5V DC, 0 to 10V DC)]
If the input to the input terminals of the instrument is 1V DC and
if the value corresponding to 1V DC is indicated, the instrument
is likely to be operating normally, however, the signal wire may
be disconnected.
[DC current (0 to 20mA DC)]
If the input to the input terminals of the instrument is 1mA DC and
if the value corresponding to 1mA DC is indicated, the instrument
is likely to be operating normally, however, the signal wire may be
disconnected.
• Check whether the input lead wire terminals for DC voltage (0 to
5V DC, 0 to 10V DC) or DC current (0 to 20mA DC) are securely
mounted to the instrument input terminals.
The indication of PV display
is abnormal or unstable. • Checkwhethersensorinputortemperatureunit( or )iscorrect. Select the sensor input and temperature unit ( or ) properly.
• Sensor correcting value is unsuitable. Set it to a suitable value.
• Check whether the specification of the sensor is correct.
• AC leaks into the sensor circuit. Use an ungrounded type sensor.
• There may be equipment that interferes with or makes noise near
the controller. Keep equipment that interferes with or makes
noise away from the controller.
[ ] is indicated on
the PV display. • Internal memory is defective.

proportional cycle, alarm
value, etc.
The values do not change
by the , keys.
• Set value lock (Lock 1 or Lock 2) is selected.
Release the lock selection.
• During PID auto-tuning or auto-reset
Cancel the auto-tuning if necessary.
Auto-reset ends 4 minutes after starting.
Thesettingindicationdoes
not change within the input
range even if the ,
keys are pressed, and
new values are unable to be set.
• Scaling high limit or low limit may be set at the point where the
value does not change.
Set it to a suitable value while in Auxiliary function setting
mode 2.
12.3 Control Problem Presumed cause and solution
Temperature does not rise. • Sensor is out of order. Replace the sensor.
• Check whether the sensor is securely mounted to the instrument
input terminal. Check whether control output terminals are
securely mounted to the actuator input terminals. Mount the
sensor or control output terminal securely.
• Check whether the wiring of sensor or control output terminals is correct.
The control output remains
in an ON status. • OUT low limit value is set to 100% or higher in Auxiliary function setting mode 2. Set it to a suitable value.
The control output remains
in an OFF status. • OUT high limit value is set to 0% or less in Auxiliary function setting mode 2. Set it to a suitable value.
• For all other malfunctions, please contact our main office or dealers.
