Safety Precautions
This is a Class A instrument. In a domestic environment, this instrument may cause
radio interference, in which case the user may be required to take adequate
measures.
This instrument is protected from electric shock by reinforced insulation. Provide
reinforced insulation between the wire for the input signal and the wires for
instrument power supply, source of power and loads.
Be sure to provide an appropriate surge control circuit respectively for the following:
−
If input/output or signal lines within the building are longer than 30 meters.
−
If input/output or signal lines leave the building, regardless the length.
This instrument is designed for installation in an enclosed instrumentation panel. All
high-voltage connections such as power supply terminals must be enclosed in the
instrumentation panel to avoid electric shock by operating personnel.
All precautions described in this manual should be taken to avoid damage to the
instrument or equipment.
All wiring must be in accordance with local codes and regulations.
To prevent instrument damage or failure, protect the power line and the input/output
lines from high currents with a protection device such as fuse, circuit breaker, etc.
Prevent metal fragments or lead wire scraps from falling inside instrument case to
avoid electric shock, fire or malfunction.
Tighten each terminal screw to the specified torque found in the manual to avoid
electric shock, fire or malfunction.
For proper operation of this instrument, provide adequate ventilation for heat
dispensation.
Do not connect wires to unused terminals as this will interfere with proper
operation of the instrument.
Turn off the power supply before cleaning the instrument.
Do not use a volatile solvent such as paint thinner to clean the instrument.
Deformation or discoloration will occur. Use a soft, dry cloth to remove stains from
the instrument.
To avoid damage to instrument display, do not rub with an abrasive material or
push front panel with a hard object.

1. MOUNTING
1.1 Mounting Cautions
(1)
This instrument is intended to be used under the following environmental
conditions.
(IEC61010-1)
[OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY II, POLLUTION DEGREE 2]
(2)
Use this instrument within the following ambient temperature and ambient
humidity.
•
Allowable ambient temperature:
−
10 to
+
50
°
C
•
Allowable ambient humidity:
5 to 95 % RH
(Absolute humidity: MAX. W. C 29 g/m
3
dry air at 101.3 kPa)
(3)
Avoid the following conditions when selecting the mounting location:
•
Rapid changes in ambient temperature which may cause condensation.
•
Corrosive or inflammable gases.
•
Direct vibration or shock to the mainframe.
•
Water, oil, chemicals, vapor or steam splashes.
•
Excessive dust, salt or iron particles.
•
Excessive induction noise, static electricity, magnetic fields or noise.
•
Direct air flow from an air conditioner.
•
Exposure to direct sunlight.
•
Excessive heat accumulation.
(4) Take the following points into consideration when mounting this instrument in the
panel.
•
Provide adequate ventilation space so that heat does not build up.
•
Do not mount this instrument directly above equipment that generates large
amount of heat (heaters, transformers, semi-conductor functional devices,
large-wattage resistors).
•
If the ambient temperature rises above 50
°
C, cool this instrument with a forced air
fan, cooler, or the like. However, do not allow cooled air to blow this instrument
directly.
•
In order to improve safety and the immunity to withstand noise, mount this
instrument as far away as possible from high voltage equipment, power lines, and
rotating machinery.
High voltage equipment: Do not mount within the same panel.
Power lines:
Separate at least 200 mm.
Rotating machinery:
Separate as far as possible.
•
Mount this instrument in the horizontal direction for panel. If you did installation
except a horizontal direction, this causes malfunction.
1.2 Dimensions
1.3 Procedures of Mounting and Removing
Mounting procedures
1.
Prepare the panel cutout as specified in
1.2
Dimensions
.
2.
Insert the instrument through the panel cutout.
3.
Insert the mounting bracket into the mounting
groove of the instrument. (Fig. 1)
4.
Push the mounting bracket forward until the bracket
is firmly secured to the panel. (Fig. 2)
5.
Only turn one full revolution after the screw touches
the panel. (Fig. 3)
6.
The other mounting bracket should be installed
the same way described in
3
.
to
5
.
The front of the instrument conforms to
IP66 (NEMA4X)
when mounted on
the panel. For effective waterproof/dustproof, the gasket must be securely
placed between instrument and panel without any gap. If gasket is damaged,
please contact RKC sales office or the agent.
Removing procedures
1.
Turn the power OFF.
2.
Remove the wiring.
3.
Loosen the screw of the mounting bracket.
(Fig. 4)
4.
Lift the latch of the mounting bracket ( ),
then pull the mounting bracket ( ) to
remove it from the case. (Fig. 4)
5.
The other mounting bracket should be
removed the same way described in
3
.
and
4
.
6.
Pull out the instrument from the mounting
cutout while holding the front panel frame
of this instrument. (Fig. 5)
2. WIRING
2.1 Wiring Cautions
•
For thermocouple input, use the appropriate compensation wire.
•
For RTD input, use low resistance lead wire with no difference in resistance
between the three lead wires.
•
To avoid noise induction, keep input signal wire away from instrument power line,
load lines and power lines of other electric equipment.
•
If there is electrical noise in the vicinity of the instrument that could affect
operation, use a noise filter.
−
Shorten the distance between the twisted power supply wire pitches to
achieve the most effective noise reduction.
−
Always install the noise filter on a grounded panel. Minimize the wiring
distance between the noise filter output and the instrument power supply
terminals to achieve the most effective noise reduction.
−
Do not connect fuses or switches to the noise filter output wiring as this will
reduce the effectiveness of the noise filter.
•
About five seconds are required as preparation time for contact output every
time the instrument is turned on. Use a delay relay when the output line is used
for an external interlock circuit.
•
Power supply wiring must be twisted and have a low voltage drop.
•
For an instrument with 24 V power supply, supply power from a SELV circuit.
•
This instrument is not furnished with a power supply switch or fuse. Therefore, if
a fuse or power supply switch is required, install close to the instrument.
Recommended fuse rating: Rated voltage 250 V, Rated current 1 A
Fuse type: Time-lag fuse
•
Use the solderless terminal appropriate to the screw size.
Screw size:
M3
×
6 (with 5.8
×
5.8 square washer)
Recommended tightening torque:
0.4
N
･
m (4 kgf
･
cm)
Applicable wire: Solid/twisted wire of 2 mm
2
Recommended dimension: See fig. 6
Recommended solderless terminals:
Circular terminal with isolation
(M3 screw, width 5.5 mm, hole diameter 3.2 mm)
•
Up to two solderless terminal lugs can be connected to one terminal screw, then
refer to figure 7.
•
Caution for the terminal cover usage:
If each solderless terminal lug touches the terminal cover, remove each projection
from the terminal cover by manually bending it in front and in rear until broken.

*3 When cutting out each mounting hole through a panel for individual mounting, observe that
there is no bur or distortion along the panel cutout surface, or there is no bend on the panel
surface. If so, the water resistant characteristics may worsen.
*4 Remove the case rubber packing. Because of closely mounting the FB400s or FB900s,
protection will be compromised and not meet IP66 (NEMA 4X) by close mounting.
*5 When controllers are closely mounted, ambient temperature must not exceed 50
°
C.
An external protection device must be installed if failure of this instrument
could result in damage to the instrument, equipment or injury to personnel.
All wiring must be completed before power is turned on to prevent electric
shock, fire or damage to instrument and equipment.
This instrument must be used in accordance with the specifications to
prevent fire or damage to instrument and equipment.
This instrument is not intended for use in locations subject to flammable or
explosive gases.
Do not touch high-voltage connections such as power supply terminals,
etc. to avoid electric shock.
RKC is not responsible if this instrument is repaired, modified or
disassembled by other than factory-approved personnel. Malfunction can
occur and warranty is void under these conditions.
!
WARNING
CAUTION
To prevent electric shock or instrument failure, always turn off the
power before mounting or removing the instrument.
!
