solvents, direct sunlight, radiation, a strong electric eld,
and/or a strong magnetic eld, direct radiant heat, wind,
temperature uctuation, 2,000 m or more above sea level.
• If there is any risk of a surge being induced into the power line
and/or signal lines due to lightning or other factors, a dedicated
lightning arrester should be used as protection for both the
product and a eld-installed device.
• Operating temperature/humidity range: -10 to 55°C (-10
to 45°C for side-by-side mounting*)/5 to 90%RH (no
condensation)
* If the previous model (style S3.xx earlier) is installed

less (at 9 to 150 Hz) 9.8m/s2or less, 1 oct/min for 90 minutes
each in the three axis directions
• Impact: 98 m/s2 or less, 11 ms, 3 axes, 6 directions, 3 times
each
3. EXTERNAL WIRING
WARNING
●Toavoidtheriskofanelectricshock,turno󰀨the
power supply and use a tester or similar device to
ensure that no power is supplied to a cable to be
connected, before carrying out wiring work.
●Do not operate the product in the presence of
ammableorexplosivegasesorvapors.Todosois
highly dangerous.
●Useoftheproductignoringthespecicationsmay
cause overheating or damage. Before turning on
the power, ensure the following:
•Power supply voltage and input signal value
applied to the product should meet the required
specications.
•The external wiring to the terminals and wiring to
ground are as specications.
Wiring should be connected to the terminals on the socket of the
VJHK. The terminals for external connections are of M3 screws.

malfunction or relay failure may occur. Refer to the
following guidelines for a capacitor and resistor:
Capacitor : 0.5 to 1 μF with respect to a contact current
of 1 A
Resistor: 0.5 to 1 Ω with respect to a contact voltage of
1 V
●The power line and input/output signal lines should
be installed away from noise-generating sources.
Otherwise accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
●Make sure to earth ground the ground terminal
through minimum resistance. The length and
thickness of the grounding cable should be as
short and thick as possible. Directly connect the
lead from the ground terminal (terminal no. 8) of
the product to the ground. Do not carry out daisy-
chained inter-ground terminal wiring.
●If the ambient temperature is 50 °C or more, please
use the cable that the rated temperature is 70 °C or
more.

5. SETTING PARAMETERS
Set the parameters using a PC (VJ77 PC-based Parameters
Setting Tool). Refer to the list of parameters in this manual and
the user’s manual for VJ77 PC-based Parameters Setting Tool
(IM 77J01J77-01E).
5.1 Settings Related to Input
5.1.1 Input Type
Select the input type from among VOLTS (DC voltage) and
CURRENT (DC current) in [D12: INP TYPE].
5.1.2 Input Range
Set the 0% value of input range in [D25: INPUT1 L_RNG]
and the 100% value of input range in [D26: INPUT1 H_RNG]
numerically within the specied range.
5.1.3 Software Filter
Set the software lter in [D57: S/W FILTER].
OFF, LOW, MIDDLE, HIGH (default value: OFF)
When LOW, MIDDLE, or HIGH is selected, a rst-order lter
equivalent to 100 ms, 300 ms, or 1 s is inserted in the input.
5.1.4 ExternalInputResistanceCorrection
For current input, set the external resistance to [D13: IN
RESIST]. There is a di󰀨erence between this value and the
actual external resistance. If this di󰀨erence causes an error,
the input can be corrected.
To perform correction, wire as shown in the gure below, apply
a stable input equivalent to 100%, and set [P40:RESISTOR
ADJ] to EXECUTE.
If you need perform correction again such as when the
external resistance is changed, reset the correct value. To do
so, set [P40: RESISTOR ADJ] to RESET.

5.2 Settings Related to Alarm Output
5.2.1 Alarm Setpoint
Set the alarm setpoints of alarm 1 and alarm 2 in [E03: SET
POINT1] and [E04: SET POINT2] numerically.
• Setting range: 0 to 100% of input range
• Setting resolution: 0.1%
5.2.2 Direction of Alarm Action
Select the direction of alarm-1 action and that of alarm-2
action from among HIGH ALM (high-limit alarm) and LOW
ALM (low-limit alarm) in [E05: ALM1 ACTION] and [E06:
ALM2 ACTION].
• To activate alarm status when input signal ≥ alarm setpoint,
select HIGH ALM.
• To activate alarm status when input signal ≤ alarm setpoint,
select LOW ALM.
5.2.3 Hysteresis
Set the alarm-1 and alarm-2 hysteresis in [E09:
HYSTERESIS1] and [E10: HYSTERESIS2]. Hysteresis is a
value added to the alarm setpoint in order for an alarm status
to be released (to normal) after the alarm status has been
activated. The alarm status will be released in the following
conditions, depending on the direction of alarm action.
* When HIGH ALM (high-limit alarm) is set: Alarm is released
when input signal < (alarm setpoint - hysteresis).
* When LOW ALM (low-limit alarm) is set: Alarm is released
when input signal > (alarm setpoint + hysteresis).
• Setting range: 0 to 100% of input range
• Setting resolution: 0.1%
5.2.4 Alarm ON Delay and Alarm OFF Delay
Set the alarm-1 and alarm-2 ON delays in [E11: ON DELAY1]
and [E12: ON DELAY2] and then alarm-1 and alarm-2 OFF
delays in [E13: OFF DELAY1] and [E14: OFF DELAY2].
An alarm ON delay is the condition monitoring time from the
establishment of alarm conditions to its output; an alarm OFF
delay is the condition monitoring time from the establishment
of return-to-normal conditions to its output.
• Setting range: 0 to 999 seconds
• Setting resolution: 1 second (However, about 0.2 second is
to be added to the set time to prevent wrong operation.)
For example, when an alarm ON delay is set to 1 second,
alarm output is generated if alarm status continues for 1
second or more after the input value exceeds the alarm
setpoint. Further, when an alarm OFF delay is set to 2
seconds, alarm output is released if normal condition
continues for 2 seconds or more after the input value has
returned to normal from the alarm status.
5.2.5 Direction of Relay Action
Select the direction of relay energizing in alarm-1 normal
condition and alarm-2 normal condition from among NRM DE-
ENERGIZED (de-energized under normal condition) and NRM
ENERGIZED (energized under normal condition) in [E15: RL1
ACTION] and [E16: RL2 ACTION].

Description of
alarm actions
The alarm is output if the
condition where the input
value is 80% or more of
high-limit alarm continues
for 1 second or more.
After the alarm is output,
when the condition where
the input value is less than
70% of high-limit alarm
continues for 2 seconds or
more, the status returns to
normal.
The alarm is output if the
condition where the input
value is 15% or less of low-
limit alarm continues for 3
seconds or more.
After the alarm is output,
when the condition where
the input value is more
than 20% of low-limit alarm
continues for 4 seconds or
more, the status returns to
normal.

2. Produce the input signal equivalent to 0% of the input range
from the voltage and current generator to the product.
3. Then, read the input value of Display items, “A01: INPUT1”
using the VJ77 and check that the input value is within the
rated accuracy range.
4. Take the same procedure for the input signal equivalent to 25,
50, 75 and 100% of the input range and check that the input
values are within the rated accuracy range.
For alarm output, check the relay action by the alarm indicator
lamp or resistance of output terminals.
● If it is outside the rated accuracy range, use the VJ77 PC-
based Parameters Setting Tool to make adjustments.
