Safety Precautions (Be sure to read these precautions before using our products.)
The safety precautions are classified into categories: “Warning” and “Caution”. Depending on circumstances,
procedures indicated by Caution may result in serious consequences, so be sure to follow the directions
for usage.
Warning
Warning
• To prevent an electrical shock or fire, only Shinko or other qualified service personnel may handle the
inner assembly.
• To prevent an electrical shock, fire or damage to the instrument, parts replacement may only be
undertaken by Shinko or other qualified service personnel.
Safety Precautions
• To ensure safe and correct use, thoroughly read and understand this manual before using this instrument.
• This instrument is intended to be used for industrial machinery, machine tools and measuring equipment. Verify
correct usage after purpose-of-use consultation with our agency or main office. (Never use this instrument for
medical purposes with which human lives are involved.)
• External protection devices such as protective equipment against excessive temperature rise, etc. must be
installed, as malfunction of this product could result in serious damage to the system or injury to personnel.
Proper periodic maintenance is also required.
• This instrument must be used under the conditions and environment described in this manual. Shinko Technos
Co., Ltd. does not accept liability for any injury, loss of life or damage occurring due to the instrument being used
under conditions not otherwise stated in this manual.
Caution with Respect to Export Trade Control Ordinance
To avoid this instrument from being used as a component in, or as being utilized in the manufacture of
weapons of mass destruction (i.e. military applications, military equipment, etc.), please investigate the
end users and the final use of this instrument.
In the case of resale, ensure that this instrument is not
illegally exported.
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 the
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.
Caution
Procedures which may lead to dangerous conditions and cause death or serious
injury, if not carried out properly.
Procedures which may lead to dangerous conditions and cause superficial to
medium injury or physical damage or may degrade or damage the product, if not
carried out properly.

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
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.
• 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 - 2.0 mm2).
• For a 24 V 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.
• 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.
Terminal Number DC Voltage Input
⑯and ⑲0 to 5 V DC, 1 to 5 V DC, 0 to 10 V DC
⑱and ⑲0 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 power sources or load wires.
3. Operation and Maintenance Precautions
Caution
• It is recommended that AT be performed on the trial run.
• When connecting USB communication cable (CMB-001) to the console connector, connect the cable
after power is turned OFF.
•Never turn the power ON or OFF, while USB communication cable (CMB-001) is connected to the
console connector.
• Do not touch live terminals. This may cause electrical shock or problems in operation.
• Turn the power supply to the instrument OFF before 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, be careful not to put pressure on, scratch or strike it with a hard
object.

If the horizontal 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. (Fig. 3.3.1-1)
(2) Attach the mounting brackets by the slots at the top and bottom of the case, and secure the
controller in place with the screws.
The torque should be 0.12 N•m.
(Fig. 3.3.1-1)
3.3.2 Removing the Unit
(1) Turn the power to the unit OFF, and disconnect all wires before removing the unit.

4.3.6 Event Input
Up to 4 points of Event input are available.
If Serial communication (C, C5 option) is ordered, up to 2 points of Event input are available.
Specifications of Event input are shown below.
Circuit current when closed Approx. 16 mA
4 points of Event input 2 points of Event input
Level action is used to determine ON or OFF.
When power is turned ON, level action is engaged.
4 points of Event input: Pattern numbers 1 to 15 can be selected by ON (Closed) or OFF (Open)
status of DI1 to DI4.
2 points of Event input: Pattern numbers 1 to 3 can be selected by ON (Closed) or OFF (Open)
status of DI1 and DI2.
Pattern numbers selected by Event input have priority over pattern numbers selected by keypad
operation.
To select pattern numbers by keypad, make sure all Event inputs are in OFF (Open) status.
