Alarm type
(High limit alarm) : The alarm action is deviation setting from the SV. The alarm is
activated if the PV (process variable) reaches the high limit set value.
(Low limit alarm) : The alarm action is deviation setting from the SV. The alarm is
activated if the PV (process variable) goes under the low limit set value.
(High/Low limits alarm): Combines High limit and Low limit alarm actions. When PV
(process variable) reaches high limit set value or goes under
the low limit set value, the alarm is activated.
(High/Low limit range alarm): When PV (process variable) is between the high limit
set value and low limit set value, the alarm is activated.
If PVexceeds the high limit set value or goes under the low limit
set value, the alarm output is turned off.
(Processhighalarm) Within the scale range of the controller, alarm action points
(Processlowalarm) can be set at random and if the PV (process variable) reaches
the randomly set action point, the alarm is activated.
(High limit alarm with standby) When the power to the controller is turned on, even if
(Low limit alarm with standby) the PV (process variable) enters the alarm action range,
(High/Low limits with standby) the alarm is not activated. Even if the PV enters the
alarm action range due to SV change during running,
the alarm is not activated, either. If the controller is
allowed to keep running, once the input exceeds the
alarm action point, the standby function will be released.

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 measured temperature may deviate from the temperature in the controlled location.
When controlling with plural controllers, sometimes the measured temperatures (PV) do not concur due
to differences in sensor accuracy or dispersion of load capacities.
In such a case, the control can be set at the desired temperature by adjusting the input value of sensors.

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 approximate 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.

• 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.
• Check whether input signal wire for DC voltage (1 to 5V DC) or DC current
(4 to 20mADC) is securely connected to the instrument input terminals.
• Check if polarity of thermocouple or compensating lead wire is correct.
• Check whether codes (A, B, B) of RTD agree with the instrument terminals.
The indication of PV display is
abnormal or unstable.
• Check whether sensor input or temperature unit ( or ) is correct.
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.
