zThis 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.
zThis 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.
zThis instrument is manufactured on the assumption that it is used in the condition of being
mounted on the instrumentation panel. Therefore, take the necessary measures on the
equipment side mounted with this instrument so that the operator or other personnel are
not accessible to high-voltage blocks in this instrument such as power supply terminals,
etc.
zAlways observe precautions described in this manual. Otherwise serious injury or accident
may result.
zConduct all of the wiring in accordance with the local codes and regulations.
zInstall a protection device such as a fuse, etc. in the power supply, input or output line, if
necessary.
zDo not allow metal fragments or lead wire scraps to fall inside this instrument. This may
cause electric shock, fire or malfunction.
zFirmly tighten each terminal screw at the specified torque. Otherwise electric shock or fire
may result.
zDo not place any obstacle around this instrument in order not to impede radiation of heat.
And do not close ventilation holes.
zDo not connect wires to unused terminals.
zBefore cleaning the instrument, always turn off the power supply.
zRemove stains from this instrument using a soft, dry cloth. Do not use a volatile solvent
such as thinner in order to avoid deformation or discoloration.
zDo not rub nor strike the display unit of this instrument with a hard object.

1. MODE TRANSFER
Initialization is to set parameters relating to instrument specifications (input type, input range, alarm
type, etc.) and those relating to instrument characteristics (setting limiter, etc.).
1.1 Transfer to Initialization Mode
The section in each picture is dimly lit.
1. Turn on the power to this instrument. Thus, the input type and PV display change in this order.
2. Press the SET key for 2 sec with the instrument set to PV display to change the instrument to
parameter setting mode.
For details on parameter setting mode, see the AE500 Instruction Manual
(IMAE01-E).
3. Press the SET key to change to the set data lock function display screen.
4. Press the shift key to change the display from character to set value.

parameter is set.
2. Press the SET key for 2 sec in the PV display state to transfer to parameter setting mode.
3. Press the SET key to transfer to the set data lock function display (LCK).
4. Press the shift key to change the display from character to set value. (See 4on P.1.)
5. Press the shift key to brightly light the thousands digit. (See 5on P.2.)
6. Press the DOWN key to set the numeric value corresponding to the thousands digit to "0" from
"1."
7. Press the SET key to transfer to the next parameter. As a result, the "Initialization mode lock
state" setting becomes effective.
In the above figure, the first alarm differential gap is displayed. However, the parameter to
be displayed varies depending on the specification.

2.2 Procedure for Setting Each Parameter
[Example of changing the setting]
When the display unit shows "SL1 (Input type selection)" in initialize code "0," the following
procedure is for changing the input type from "K" to "J."
The section in each picture is dimly lit.
1. Change the instrument to the initialize code selection display.
See 1.1 Transfer to Initialization Mode on page 1.
2. Press the shift key to change the display from character to set value.
