1. Installation Precautions
Caution
This instrument is intended to be used under the following environmental conditions
(IEC61010-1): Overvoltage category , Pollution degree 2
Ensure the mounting location corresponds to the following conditions:
• A minimum of dust, and an absence of corrosive gases
• No flammable, explosive gases
• No mechanical vibrations or shocks
• No exposure to direct sunlight, an ambient temperature of 0 to 50 (32 to 122 ) that does not
change rapidly, and no icing
• An ambient non-condensing humidity of 35 to 85%RH
• No large capacity electromagnetic switches or cables through which large current is flowing
• No water, oil or chemicals or where the vapors of these substances can come into direct contact with
the unit
• Please note that the ambient temperature of this unit – not the ambient temperature of the control panel
– must not exceed 50 (122 ) if mounted through the face of a control panel. Otherwise the life of
electronic components (especially electrolytic capacitors) may be shortened.
Note: Avoid setting this instrument directly on or near flammable material even though the case of
this instrument is made of flame-resistant resin.
2. Wiring Precautions
Caution
• Do not leave wire remnants in the instrument, as they could cause a fire or malfunction.
• Use the solderless terminal with an insulation sleeve in which the M3 screw fits when wiring the
ACS-13A.
• The terminal block of this instrument is designed to be wired from the left side. The lead wire must be
inserted from the left side of the terminal, and fastened with the terminal screw.
• Tighten the terminal screw using the specified torque. If excessive force is applied to the screw when
tightening, the terminal screw or case may be damaged.
• When using a terminal cover, pass terminal wires numbered 7 to 12 into the holes of the terminal cover.
• This instrument does not have a built-in power switch, circuit breaker and fuse.
It is necessary to install a power switch, circuit breaker and fuse near the controller.
(Recommended fuse: Time-lag fuse, rated voltage 250V AC, rated current 2A)
• For a 24V AC/DC power source, do not confuse polarity when using direct current (DC).
• Do not apply a commercial power source to the sensor which is connected to the input terminal nor
allow the power source to come into contact with the sensor.
• Use a thermocouple and compensating lead wire according to the sensor input specifications of this
controller.
• Use the 3-wire RTD according to the sensor input specifications of this controller.
• (+) side input terminal number of 0 to 5V DC, 1 to 5V DC, 0 to 10V DC differs from that of 0 to 1V DC.
(+) side input terminal number of 0 to 5V DC, 1 to 5V DC, 0 to 10V DC: 9
(+) side input terminal number of 0 to 1V DC: 10
• When using a relay contact output type, externally use a relay according to the capacity of the load to
protect the built-in relay contact.
• When wiring, keep input wires (thermocouple, RTD, etc.) away from AC sources or load wires to avoid
external interference.
3. Operation and Maintenance Precautions
Caution
• It is recommended that auto-tuning (AT) be performed on the trial run.
• Do not touch live terminals. This may cause electrical shock or problems in operation.
• Turn the power supply to the instrument OFF when retightening the terminal or cleaning.
Working on or touching the terminal with the power switched ON may result in severe injury or death
due to electrical shock.
• Use a soft, dry cloth when cleaning the instrument.
(Alcohol based substances may tarnish or deface the unit.)
• As the display section is vulnerable, do not strike or scratch it with a hard object or put pressure on it.
