taken if there is danger of electric shock, fire, etc.,
which could result in loss of life or injury.

: This mark indicates that if these precautions and

operating procedures are not taken, damage to
the instrument may result.

: This mark indicates that all precautions should be

taken for safe usage.

: This mark indicates important information on

!"

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.

!"

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.

!"

All wiring must be completed before power is turned on to
prevent electric shock, instrument failure, or incorrect action.
The power must be turned off before repairing work for input
break and output failure including replacement of sensor,
contactor or SSR, and all wiring must be completed before
power is turned on again.

!"

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.

!"

Do not connect modular connectors to telephone line.
