Mounting and Removal of the Unit
Caution
As the case of the PCA1 is made of resin, do not use excessive force while tightening screws, or the mounting brackets
could be damaged. The torque should be 0.12 N•m.
Mounting of the Unit
Mount the controller vertically to the flat, rigid panel to ensure it adheres to the Drip-proof/Dust-proof specification (IP66).
If the lateral close mounting is used for the controller, IP66 specification (Drip-proof/Dust-proof) may be compromised, and all warranties
will be invalidated.
Mountable panel thickness: 1 to 8 mm
(1) Insert the controller from the front side
of the control panel.
(2) Attach mounting brackets by the holes
top and bottom of the case, and secure
the controller in place with the screws.
The torque should be 0.12 N•m.
Removal of the Unit
(1) Turn the power to the unit OFF, and
disconnect all wires.
(2) Loosen the screws of the mounting
brackets, and remove the mounting brackets.
(3) Pull the unit out from the front of the control panel.

Terminal Arrangement
Warning
Turn the power supply to the instrument off before wiring or checking.
Working on or touching the terminal with the power switched on may result in severe injury or death due to electrical shock.
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 instrument.
• 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. The torque should be 0.63 N
・
m.
• Do not pull or bend the lead wire on the terminal side when wiring or after wiring, as it could cause malfunction.
• 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 250 V AC, rated current 2 A)
• For the grounding wire, use a thick wire (1.25 to 2.0 mm2).
• For a 24 V AC/DC power source, ensure polarity is correct 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.
• For DC voltage input, (+) side input terminal number of 0 to 5 V DC, 1 to 5 V DC, 0 to 10 V DC differs from that of 0 to 10 mV DC, -10
to 10 mV DC, 0 to 50 mV DC, 0 to 100 mV DC, 0 to 1 V 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.
