11.
When executing self-tuning, turn ON power to the load (e.g.,
heater) at the same time as or before supplying power to the
product. If power is turned ON to the product before turning ON
power to the load, self-tuning will not be performed properly and
optimum control will not be achieved.
12.
A switch or circuit breaker must be provided close to the product.
The switch or circuit breaker must be within easy reach of the
operator, and must be marked as a disconnecting means for this
unit.
13.
Always turn OFF the power supply before pulling out the interior of
the product, and never touch nor apply shock to the terminals or
electronic components. When inserting the interior of the product,
do not allow the electronic components to touch the case.
14.
Do not use paint thinner or similar chemical to clean with. Use
standard grade alcohol.
15.
Design the system (e.g., control panel) considering the 2 seconds
of delay that the product's output to be set after power ON.
16.
The output may turn OFF when shifting to certain levels. Take this
into consideration when performing control.
17.
The number of EEPROM write operations is limited. Therefore,
use RAM write mode when frequently overwriting data during
communications or other operations.
18.
Always touch a grounded piece of metal before touching the
Temperature Controller to discharge static electricity from your
body.
19.
Do not remove the terminal block. Doing so may result in failure or
malfunction.
20.
Control outputs (for driving SSR) that are voltage outputs are not
isolated from the internal circuits. When using a grounded
thermocouple, do not connect any of the control output terminals
to ground. (Doing so may result in an unwanted circuit path,
causing error in the measured temperature.)
21.
When replacing the body of the Temperature Controller, check the
condition of the terminals. If corroded terminals are used, contact
failure in the terminals may cause the temperature inside the
Temperature Controller to increase, possibly resulting in fire. If the
terminals are corroded, replace the case as well.
22.
Use suitable tools when taking the Temperature Controller apart
for disposal. Sharp parts inside the Temperature Controller may
cause injury.
23.
Before connecting an Output Unit, confirm the specifications and
thoroughly read relevant information in the datasheet and manual
for the Temperature Controller.
24.
Check the orientation of the connectors on the Conversion Cable
before connecting the Conversion Cable. Do not force a
connector if it does not connect smoothly. Using excessive force
may damage the connector.
25.
Do not place heavy object on the Conversion Cable, bend the
cable past its natural bending radius, or pull on the cable with
undue force.
26.
Do not connect or disconnect the Conversion Cable while
communications are in progress. Product faults or malfunction
may occur.
27.
Make sure that the Conversion Cable's metal components are not
touching the external power terminals.
28.
Do not touch the connectors on the Conversion Cable with wet
hands. Electrical shock may result.
29.
Before using infrared communications, correctly attach the
enclosed Mounting Adapter to the cable for the Support Software.
When connecting the infrared port on the cable to the Support
Software into the Adapter, insert the connector to the specified
line. Communications may not be possible if the connector is not
connected properly.
Precautions for Correct Use
Service Life
1.
Use the product within the following temperature and humidity
ranges:
Temperature:
−
10 to 55
°
C (with no icing or condensation)
Humidity: 25% to 85%
If the product is installed inside a control board, the ambient
temperature must be kept to under 55
°
C, including the temperature
around the product.
2.
The service life of electronic devices like Temperature Controllers
is determined not only by the number of times the relay is switched
but also by the service life of internal electronic components.
Component service life is affected by the ambient temperature: the
higher the temperature, the shorter the service life and, the lower
the temperature, the longer the service life. Therefore, the service
life can be extended by lowering the temperature of the
Temperature Controller.
3.
When two or more Temperature Controllers are mounted
horizontally close to each other or vertically next to one another,
the internal temperature will increase due to heat radiated by the
Temperature Controllers and the service life will decrease. In such
a case, use forced cooling by fans or other means of air ventilation
to cool down the Temperature Controllers. When providing forced
cooling, however, be careful not to cool down the terminals
sections alone to avoid measurement errors.
Measurement Accuracy
1.
When extending or connecting the thermocouple lead wire, be sure
to use compensating wires that match the thermocouple types.
2.
When extending or connecting the lead wire of the platinum
resistance thermometer, be sure to use wires that have low
resistance and keep the resistance of the three lead wires the
same.
3.
Mount the product so that it is horizontally level.
4.
If the measurement accuracy is low, check to see if input shift has
been set correctly.
Waterproofing
The degree of protection is as shown below. Sections without any
specification on their degree of protection or those with IP
@
0 are not
waterproof.
Front panel: IP66
Rear case: IP20, Terminal section: IP00
(E5CN-U: Front panel: IP50, rear case: IP20, terminals: IP00)
Operating Precautions
1.
It takes approximately two seconds for the outputs to turn ON from
after the power supply is turned ON. Due consideration must be
given to this time when incorporating Temperature Controllers in a
sequence circuit.
2.
When using self-tuning, turn ON power for the load (e.g., heater)
at the same time as or before supplying power to the Temperature
Controller. If power is turned ON for the Temperature Controller
before turning ON power for the load, self-tuning will not be
performed properly and optimum control will not be achieved.
3.
When starting operation after the Temperature Controller has
warmed up, turn OFF the power and then turn it ON again at the
same time as turning ON power for the load. (Instead of turning
the Temperature Controller OFF and ON again, switching from
STOP mode to RUN mode can also be used.)
4.
Avoid using the Controller in places near a radio, television set, or
wireless installing. These devices can cause radio disturbances
which adversely affect the performance of the Controller.
Others
1.
The disk that is included with the Conversion Cable is designed for
a computer CD-ROM driver. Never attempt to play the disk in a
general-purpose audio player.
2.
Do not connect or disconnect the Conversion Cable connector
repeatedly over a short period of time. The computer may
malfunction.
3.
After connecting the Conversion Cable to the computer, check the
COM port number before starting communications. The computer
requires time to recognize the cable connection. This delay does
not indicate failure.
4.
Do not connect the Conversion Cable through a USB hub. Doing
so may damage the Conversion Cable.
5.
Do not use an extension cable to extend the Conversion Cable
length when connecting to the computer. Doing so may damage
the Conversion Cable.
6.
The E5AN-H/E5EN-H use the same port for communications
through the infrared port and the Support Software port. Do not
attempt to use communications through the Support Software port
when the infrared port is being used.
