INTRODUCTION
Before using this instrument, please carefully read this manual for its correct use. In addition, after
reading the manual keep it available easily anytime.
USERS OF THIS MANUAL
This manual is prepared for all personnel who use CD101/CD401/CD501/CD701/CD901. However,
it is desirable that they have a fundamental knowledge of electrical engineering, process control and
communication.
WIRING PRECAUTIONS
• If failure or error of this instrument could result in a critical accident of the system,
install an external protection circuit to prevent such an accident.
• In order to prevent instrument damage or failure, protect the power line and the
input/output lines from high currents by using fuses with appropriate ratings.
POWER SUPPLY
• In order to prevent instrument damage or failure, supply power of the specified
rating.
• In order to prevent electric shock or instrument failure, do not turn on the power
supply until all of the wiring is completed.
INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT
• In order to prevent fire, explosion or instrument damage, never use this instrument
at a location where flammable or explosive gases or vapor exist.
• This is a Class A instrument. In a domestic environment this instrument may cause
radio interference, in which case the user is required to take adequate measures.
NEVER TOUCH THE INSIDE OF THE INSTRUMENT
In order to prevent electric shock or burns, never touch the inside of the instrument.
Only RKC service engineers can touch the inside of the instrument to check the circuit
or to replace parts. High voltage and high temperature sections inside the instrument
are extremely dangerous.
NEVER MODIFY THE INSTRUMENT.
In order to prevent accident or instrument failure, never modify the instrument.
MAINTENANCE
• In order to prevent electric shock, burns or instrument failure, only RKC service
engineers may replace parts.
• In order to use this instrument continuously and safely, conduct periodic
maintenance. Some parts used in this instrument have a limited service life and may
deteriorate over time.

INSTRUMENT SAFETY CAUTIONS
 This instrument is designed to be mounted on instrumentation panels. It is therefore manufactured
as part of the final product to facilitate wiring. This means that unauthorized personnel can easily
access the high-voltage sections in this instrument such as power terminals, etc. Therefore, when
this instrument is installed on the final product, the user should take the necessary measures for the
final product to ensure that unauthorized personnel cannot access the high-voltage sections, etc.
 In order to use this instrument correctly and safely, always observe the cautions described in this
manual when performing operations and maintenance. RKC assumes no responsibility for any
injury or accident resulting from not following these cautions.
NOTES ON INDICATIONS
The following indications are used in this manual to ensure the safe, correct use of the
CD101/CD401/CD501/CD701/CD901.
SIGNAL WORDS
SYMBOL MARKS
CAUTIONS PRIOR TO USE
 This instrument is intended to be used under the following environmental conditions. (IEC1010)
[OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY II, POLLUTION DEGREE 2]
 To the instrument with power supply of 24 V, please be sure to supply the power from SELV
circuit.
 Before cleaning the instrument, check that the power is turned off.
 Remove stains on the display unit using a soft cloth or tissue paper.
 As the display unit is easily scratched, do not scrub or touch it with a hard object.
 The stains on the housing shall be wiped off by the cloth which is dipped into the neutral cleanser
diluted by water and wrung tightly, and finish it by a dried cloth.
 This instrument is protected from electric shock by reinforced insulation. So please arrange
reinforced insulation to the wire for input signal against the wires for instrument power supply,
source of power and loads as far as possible.
CAUTION
: Where there are possible dangers such as electric shock, fire (burns), etc. which
could cause loss of life or injury, precautions to avoid such dangers are
described.
: These describe precautions to be taken in case unit damage may result i
f
operating procedures are not strictly followed.
:Extra noted or precautions are added to operating procedures and explanations.
: This mark is used when great care is needed especially for safety.
: This mark is used to add extra notes, precautions or supplementary
explanations to table and figures.
