Caution
• Use the solderless terminal with an insulation sleeve that fits in the M3 screw when wiring
the JCL-33A Series.
• 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 within the specified torque. If excessive force is applied to the screw
when tightening, the terminal screw or case may be damaged.
• 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.
• This controller does not have built-in power switch, circuit breaker or fuse.
It is necessary to install them near the controller.
(Recommended fuse: Time-lag fuse, rated voltage 250V AC, rated current 2A)
• When using a 24V AC/DC for the power source, do not confuse the polarity when it is DC.

Warning
• It is recommended that the PID auto-tuning be performed on the trial run.
• Do not touch live terminals. This may cause electric shock or problems in operation.
• Turn the power supplied to the instrunment OFF before retightening the terminal and cleaning.
Working or touching the terminal with the power switched ON may result in severe injury or
death due to Electric Shock.
• Use a soft, dry cloth when cleaning the instrument.
(If paint thinner is used, it might deform or tarnish the unit)
• As the display section is vulnerable, do not strike or scratch it with a hard object.

• EV2 : Event output 2 terminals
• OUT : Control output or Heating output
(when option DR is added) terminals
•
DI : DI (Digital input) terminals

Timer function
• RS-485: Serial communication (C5) terminals
• TC : Thermocouple input terminals
• RTD : RTD input terminals
(Fig. 4-1) • DC : DC current, DC voltage input terminals
For DC current input type, connect 50
shunt resistor (sold separately) between
input terminals.
Notice
• Use a thermocouple and compensating lead wire corresponding to the sensor input specification
of this controller.
•Use the 3-wire RTD which corresponds to the input specification of this controller.
• This controller does not have built-in power switch, circuit breaker or fuse. Therefore, it is
necessary to install them in the circuit near the external controller.
(Recommended fuse: Time-lag fuse, rated voltage 250V AC, rated current 2A)
• When using a 24V AC/DC for the power source, do not confuse the polarity when it is DC.
• 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.
• Do not apply a commercial power source to the sensor connected to the input terminal nor
allow the power source to come into contact with the sensor.
Lead wire solderless terminal
Use a solderless terminal with an isolation sleeve that fits to the M3 screw as shown below.
The torque is approximately 0.6N•m to 1.0N•m.

5. Setup
Before using this controller, it is necessary to set up the Input type, Alarm action, Control action, etc.
according to the users’ conditions.
Default value is set as follows.
Input: K –200 to 1370 , Alarm 1 (A1): No alarm action, Alarm 2 (A2): No alarm action,
Reverse (Heating) control action
If the users’ specification is the same as the default value of the JCL-33A, it is not
necessary to set up the controller. Proceed to Section “6.1 Main setting mode”.
Turn the power supply to the instrument on.
For approx. 3 seconds after the power is turned on, the MEMO/STEP display is turned off and the PV/SV
display indicates sensor input character and temperature unit.
During this time, all outputs and LED indicators are in OFF status.
(Table 5-1)
After that, the following is indicated.
The MEMO/STEP display indicates a memory number.
The PV/SV display indicates an input value (e.g. room temperature).
This is the PV/SV display mode.
Basic operation for setup
Setup is conducted in Auxiliary function setup mode 2.
To go to Auxiliary function setup mode 2, press the key for approx. 3 seconds while holding down
the key in the PV/SV display mode.
Set or select the values with and key.
Register the values with the key.
Display used for explaining setting items
Setting items (Chapter “5 Setup” and setting modes from Section 6.1 to 6.3)
are explained as follows.
