15) Design system (control panel, etc.) considering the 2 second of delay that the controller’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 Digital 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 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 Digital Controller, check the condition of the terminals. If corroded
terminals are used, contact failure in the terminals may cause the temperature inside the Digital Controller
to increase, possibly resulting in fire. If the terminals are corroded, replace the case as well.
22) Use suitable tools when taking the Digital Controller apart for disposal. Sharp parts inside the Digital
Controller may cause injury.
23) Check the specifications of the Control Output Unit and assemble it correctly.
24) When mounting the Control Output Unit, read and follow all relevant information in the product catalogs
and manuals.
25) When applying Lloyd's standards, install the Digital Controller according to the requirements given in
Shipping Standards.
● Service Life
Use the Digital Controller within the following temperature and humidity ranges:
Temperature: −10 to 55°C (with no icing or condensation), Humidity: 25% to 85%
If the Controller is installed inside a control board, the ambient temperature must be kept to under
55°C, including the temperature around the Controller.
The service life of electronic devices like Digital 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 Digital Controller.
When two or more Digital 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 Digital Controllers and
the service life will decrease. In such a case, use forced cooling by fans or other means of air ventila-
tion to cool down the Digital Controllers. When providing forced cooling, however, be careful not to cool
down the terminals sections alone to avoid measurement errors.
● Ambient Noise
To avoid inductive noise, keep the wiring for the Digital Controller's terminal block wiring away from
power cables carrying high voltages or large currents. Also, do not wire power lines together with or
parallel to Digital Controller wiring. Using shielded cables and using separate conduits or ducts is rec-
ommended.
Attach a surge suppressor or noise filter to peripheral devices that generate noise (in particular,
motors, transformers, solenoids, magnetic coils or other equipment that have an inductance compo-
nent). When a noise filter is used at the power supply, first check the voltage or current, and attach the
noise filter as close as possible to the Digital Controller.
Allow as much space as possible between the Digital Controller and devices that generate powerful
high frequencies (high-frequency welders, high-frequency sewing machines, etc.) or surge.
