 It may cause insulation failure, contact melt, contact failure, relay broken and fire etc.
5. In cleaning unit, do not use water or organic solvent. And use dry cloth. 
 It may cause electric shock or a fire.
6. Do not use this unit in place where there are flammable or explosive gas, humidity, direct ray
    of the light, radiant heat, vibration and impact etc.
 It may cause a fire or an explosion.
7. Do not inflow dust or wire dregs into the unit.
 It may cause a fire or a malfunction.
8. Please wire properly after checking the terminal polarity when connecting temperature sensor.
    It may cause a fire or an explosion.
9. In order to install the units with reinforced insulation, use the power supply unit which basic
    insulation level is ensured.
Caution  
The above specifications are subject to change without notice.

 Flow chart for setting group
 Press 
MODE
key over 3 sec in any setting group, it saves the set value and returns to RUN mode.
   (Exception: Press 
MODE
key once in SV setting group, it returns to RUN mode).
 If no key entered for 30 sec., it returns to RUN mode automatically and the set value of parameter is 
   not be saved. 
 Press 
MODE
key again within 1 sec. after returning to RUN mode, it advances of the fi rst parameter of 
   previous setting group. 
 Press 
MODE
key to move next parameter. 
 Parameter marked in 
 
might not be displayed depending on other parameter settings. 
 Set parameter as 'Parameter 2group → Parameter 1group → Setting group of set value' order 
    considering parameter relation of each setting group.
