WARNING
Required
Installation, wiring, maintenance, and inspection must all
be performed by contractors who specialize in this work.
Before installing, wiring, maintaining, and inspecting this
product, turn OFF the input power supply of the
distribution panel and check that the power supply is OFF.
Secure a safe space before performing installation, wiring,
maintenance, and inspection.
Remove wristwatches and other such metal objects and
wear clothing that is appropriate in terms of safety before
performing installation, wiring, maintenance, and
inspection. There is the risk of electric shock or injury if
you perform work while wearing metal objects.
When performing installation, wiring, maintenance, and
inspection, use tools for which insulation countermeasures
have been carried out. There is the risk of electric shock if
you use other tools.
If you detect an odd smell or sound, stop work immediately
and stop operating the product. There is the risk of fire if
this instruction is not followed.
Prohibited
Do not use the product with the unit cover open. There is
the risk of electric shock if this instruction is not followed.
Do not insert fingers, metal bars, etc. into the openings.
There is the risk of electric shock or injury if this
instruction is not followed.
While input power is supplied, do not touch the
conducting parts or the wires. There is the risk of electric
shock or burns if this instruction is not followed.
During installation, wiring, maintenance, and inspection,
individuals other than the workers must not touch the
distribution panel. Workers must prevent others from
easily touching the distribution panel by erecting a sign
stating “Do not turn the power ON.”
Individuals other than the workers must not enter the
installation, wiring, maintenance, or inspection work area.
Workers must prevent others from easily entering this area
by erecting a sign stating “No entry.”

1.1 Usage/Storage Location
CAUTION
Prohibited
Do not use or store the product in locations such as the
following. There is the risk of fire due to factors such as
product failure, damage, and deterioration if this instruction
is not followed.
Hot, cold, or humid locations that are not in compliance
with the operating environments specified by the
instruction manual.
Locations exposed to direct sunlight
Locations subject to vibration or impact
Locations close to a device that produces sparks
Locations exposed to direct contact with heat from a
dryer or other heat source
Locations exposed to contact with water
Locations where there is dust, salt, corrosive gas, or
flammable gas
Outdoors
1.2 Installation
CAUTION
Required
Depending on the product specifications, the unit weight
may exceed 15 kg. Keep safety in mind during installation.
For example, perform the work with two or more
individuals.
Install the unit so it is oriented vertically. Orienting the unit
horizontally will cause its temperature to increase
abnormally, leading to product failure.
Install the product so its front door can be opened and
closed.
Provide sufficient space on the top, bottom, left, and right
of the unit for heat dissipation.

1.3 Wiring
WARNING
Required
Use wires whose dielectric strength corresponds to the
circuit voltage. There is the risk of electric shock if you use
wires without dielectric strength.
Fully cover the input and output terminals and the
conducting parts of the wires with tubes, tape, or other
such insulating objects. There is the risk of electric shock if
you touch exposed parts. If the input and output terminals
cannot be fully covered, ensure that direct contact with
the exposed parts is not possible.
CAUTION
Required
Use wires with the appropriate diameters to wire the input
and output terminals. There is the risk of heating or fire if
the wire diameters are too small.
Use crimp terminals with the appropriate size to wire the
input and output terminals. There is the risk of heating or
fire if the crimp terminals are not the appropriate size.
1.4 Maintenance/Inspection
WARNING
Required
Replace parts with ones having the same ratings and
model. There is the risk of fire if different parts are used.
Prohibited
Do not touch the transformer, heat dissipation fins, and
other such parts that reach high temperatures. There is
the risk of burns if this instruction is not followed, even
after the input power supply is turned OFF (at which time
these parts may still be hot).

2PRECAUTIONS DURING USAGE
Pay attention to the following when using the unit.
The main circuit thyristor may be damaged in short circuit mode. To prevent fire and
property damage in case of ground faults, ensure that the design is safe by, for example,
installing protective functions on the power input side of the unit main circuit using breakers
or other devices.
It is not recommended to operate this product while switching the output between 0% and
100% at intervals of a few minutes repeatedly. The main circuit thyristor will reach the upper
limit of the power cycle, breaking down earlier than specified. Reduce the output variation
range, select a model with sufficient capacity for the rated current, or take other measures
to prevent the early breakdown.
To wire the main circuit, use cables with sufficient capacity for the rated current of the unit.
To wire the main circuit, connect the K terminal to the power supply side and the L terminal
to the load side.
Be sure to match the phases of the main circuit power supply and the control circuit power
supply.
Do not bundle the control circuit cables together with the main circuit cables.
When storing the unit in the distribution panel cabinet, provide ventilation in consideration of
the internal calorific value of the unit.
(See “9 UNIT OUTLINE” for the internal calorific value.)
Note that dust, moisture, overheating, vibration, and other issues may degrade the
performance of the unit or cause it to fail.
Be sure to install the unit upright and vertical and keep space around the unit as instructed
in the installation precautions. Installing the unit horizontally or reducing the space may
degrade the cooling performance, and may lead to abnormal high temperature.
Install the unit so that its front door can be opened and closed for maintenance or
inspection.
When operating the unit with cycle control, it is preferable to use a fuse-attached model of
the unit.
The unit cannot be operated with cycle control with inductive loads. Be sure to operate the
unit with phase control when inductive loads are applied.
(Contact us for customized products.)
If the load capacity is small, a leakage current is applied to the load side even when the
signal is off, causing malfunctions. To prevent this, connect a bleeder resistor in parallel with
the load. (The minimum load current is 1 A.)
If the load capacity is small (approximately 10% of the rated capacity or lower), error code
Er.14 is displayed with the self-diagnostic function. This, however, does not cause any
problems during operation.
Do not apply 5 V or more or 20 mA or more from the temperature controller.

10
A load must be connected during test operation. When test operation is performed with no
load, voltage continues to be applied to the output terminal. Additionally, do not perform test
operation with no load while the external potential transformer (PT) is connected. Doing so
may damage the unit.
When the unit is operated with an inductive load (including a transformer load) and the
feedback PT, resonance may be caused due to the load being low or nonexistent, generating
abnormal voltage. Additionally, when the unit is operated with a transformer load, voltage
higher than the rating may be generated on the load side of the unit due to surge voltage
caused by gate blocking (including the unit being turned ON/OFF with the GT terminal),
power supply stoppage, or other causes. When the unit is operated under the above
conditions, install a CR absorber on the load side of the unit as shown in the following figure.
