Safety Precautions

Warning Indications

Precautions for Safe Use

(1) 

Do not use or store the Product in the following locations:
 • Outdoor or locations subject to direct sunlight
 • Locations subject to rain and wind damage
 • Locations subject to excessive vibration or shock
 • Locations subject to rapid temperature changes
 • Locations prone to icing and dew condensation
 • Locations subject to water or oil
 • Locations subject to dust or corrosive gases 
   (particularly sulfurizing gases, ammonia, etc.)
 • Locations subject to influence of static electricity and noise
 • Locations subject to bugs and small animals

(2) A 

switch or circuit breaker should be provided close to this unit.

The switch or circuit breaker should be within easy reach of 
the operator, and must be marked as a disconnecting means 
for this unit.

(3) 

Mount the Product in the correct direction for installation.

(4) 

Be sure to use power terminals carefully, because power 
supply terminals have hazardous voltage.

(5) 

Use the wire given in this manual.

(6) 

Use the power supply voltage within the range of the 
specifications and rated values. Use the input voltage within 
the range of the specifications and rated values.

(7) Make 

sure the crimp terminals for wiring are of the specified size.

(8) Do 

not connect anything to terminals that are not being used.

(9) 

Confirm the wiring the input and output terminals correctly 
before power is supplied.

(10)  The terminal block may be damaged if you insert a 

flat-blade screwdriver in the release hole with excessive 
force. When inserting a flat-blade screwdriver into the 
release holes, operate with a force of 15·N or less.

(11) K7GE-MG may be subject to radio disturbances. Do not install 

the Product near equipment that generates high frequencies or 
surges.

(12)  The maximum terminal temperature is 80°C. Use wires with a 

heat resistance of 80°C min to wire the terminals.

(13)  Make sure the LCD and the LEDs for output indicators 

operate correctly. Depending on the operating environment, 
the Product parts may deteriorate faster than expected, 
causing the indicators to fail.

(14) Use 

the 

cable within the length that is rated in the specification 

requirements for the wiring between the sensor and the 
Product. As for the requirements on the cable distance, refer to 
K7GE-MG User's Manual (Cat. No. N224).

(15) In 

order to prevent inductive noise, wire the lines connected to 

the Product separately from power lines carrying high voltages 
or currents. Also, do not wire in parallel with or on the same 
cables as power lines. Other measures for reducing noise are 
to separate from ducts including noisy lines.

(16)  Do not continue to use the Product if the front surface peels.
(17) The 

alarm output function is a function for the output of an alarm 

when the set threshold value is below. Do not use this function for 
control, etc.

(18)  Use this Product inside the control panel to prevent external noise.
(19) When 

discarding the Product, properly dispose of it as industrial 

waste.

(20)  Never touch the charging terminal of the load while the 

K7GE-MG is in measurement operation.

(21)  K7GE-MG cannot be used for legal inspection. Be sure to 

use a periodically calibrated measuring instrument for legal 
inspection.

(22) When wiring, wire by enough length.
(23)  Check terminal polarity when wiring and wire all connections 

correctly. Do not wire the input and output terminals incorrectly.

(24) K7GE-MG provides 50 VDC of megger voltage. Do not use on 

equipment that may be damaged by this voltage.

(25)  Use and store the Product in a location where the ambient 

temperature and humidity are within the specified ranges. If 
applicable, provide forced cooling.

(26)  Please read and understand this Instruction Manual before 

using K7GE-MG.

Observe the following operating methods to prevent failure and 
malfunction.
(1)  During periodic inspection, installation of an additional 

sensor, or adjustment of sensor position, use the Product 
after ensuring that correct operation can be performed.

(2)  When mounting K7GE-MG on a DIN Track, follow the 

installation method shown on the right to install it correctly.

(3)  Confirm that wire does not stick up after wiring of stranded 

cable.

(4)  In case of crossover wiring, install these by 10 A per 1 

terminal because when Products are connected more than 
one in parallel, quite many electric currents to be called off.

(5)  The terminal block may be damaged if specialized tool is 

not used. Use a recommended flat-blade screwdriver to 
inserted into a release hole on the terminal block.

(6)  This Product is designed for use by qualified personnel with 

a knowledge of electrical systems. Read this Instruction 
Manual carefully before using the Product.

(7)  Use the power supply voltage, input power, and other 

power supplies and transformers with suitable capacities 
and rated outputs.

(8)  Use a power supply that will reach the rated voltage within 

1 second after the power is turned ON.

(9) Do 

not 

install the Product close contact with the heating element.

(10)  Do not install the Product near equipment that generates 

high frequencies or surges.

(11) Install the Product so that the load doesn't span the Product 

body.

(12)  If an error occurs during K7GE-MG operation, stop 

operation immediately and make suitable corrections such 
as replacement.

(13)  Do not use K7GE-MG for safety devices or applications that 

could result in loss of life.

(14)  Make sure to connect Main Unit and Probe units before use.
(15)  Make sure that the number of additional Probe Units is 

within the specified range.

(16)  Be sure to install a magnetic contactor, etc. between the 

power supply and the load, and wire K7GE-MG on the 
secondary side of it.

(17)  Do not turn ON power to the load while K7GE-MG is 

measuring.

(18)  Set the "Motor stop waiting time" setting value to at least 

the time from when the contactor is turned off until the load 
completely stops.

(19)  If you accidentally drop K7GE-MG, the inside of the Product 

may be damaged, so do not use it.

(20)  Do not wire anything to the release holes.
(21)  Do not tilt or twist a flat-blade screwdriver while it is inserted 

into a release hole on the terminal block. The terminal block 
may be damaged.

(22)  Insert a flat-blade screwdriver into the release holes at an 

angle. The terminal block may be damaged if you insert the 
screwdriver straight in.

(23)  Do not allow the flat-blade screwdriver to fall out while it is 

inserted into a release hole.

(24)  Do not bend a wire past its natural bending radius or pull on 

it with excessive force. Doing so may cause the wire 
disconnection.

(25)  Do not insert more than one wire into each terminal 

insertion hole.

(26)  Do not use any liquids such as paint thinner, similar 

solvents or alcohol to clean the Product. Clean it with a soft, 
dry cloth.

• For wiring from the Probe Unit to the load, use a Class CC, Class J, or Class T fuse with a rated current of 7A or less.
• The protection provided by the device may be impaired if the device is used in a manner that is not specified by the manufacturer. 
•To use the Product, install it as an embedded device within a control panel.
• The table below shows the nominal voltage and measurement circuit connections available for each measurement category in the 

Main Power Supply System Configurations. Do not use the device under conditions that exceed this category and conditions.

This is a class A product. In residential areas it may cause radio 
interference, in which case the user may be required to take 
adequate measures to reduce interference.
