Digital Temperature Controllers E5CN/E5CN-U 21
Precautions
Note: 1. An SELV circuit is one separated from the power supply with 
double insulation or reinforced insulation, that does not 
exceed 30 V r.m.s. and 42.4 V peak or 60 VDC.
2. A class 2 power supply is one tested and certified by UL as 
have the current and voltage of the secondary output 
restricted to specific levels. 
Do not touch the terminals while power is being supplied.
Doing so may occasionally result in minor injury due to 
electric shock.
Do not allow pieces of metal, wire clippings, or fine 
metallic shavings or filings from installation to enter the 
product. Doing so may occasionally result in electric 
shock, fire, or malfunction.
Do not use the product where subject to flammable or 
explosive gas. Otherwise, minor injury from explosion 
may occasionally occur.
Do not leave the conversion cable connected to the 
product. Malfunction may occur due to noise in the cable.
Do not use the Temperature Controller or Conversion 
Cable if it is damaged. Doing so may occasionally result 
in minor electric shock or fire.
Never disassemble, modify, or repair the product or touch 
any of the internal parts. Minor electric shock, fire, or 
malfunction may occasionally occur.
CAUTION - Risk of Fire and Electric Shock
a) This product is UL listed as Open Type Process 
Control Equipment. It must be mounted in an 
enclosure that does not allow fire to escape externally.
b) More than one disconnect switch may be required to 
de-energize the equipment before servicing the 
product.
c) Signal inputs are SELV, limited energy.
d) Caution: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do 
not interconnect the outputs of different Class 2 
circuits.
If the output relays are used past their life expectancy, 
contact fusing or burning may occasionally occur.
Always consider the application conditions and use the 
output relays within their rated load and electrical life 
expectancy. The life expectancy of output relays varies 
considerably with the output load and switching 
conditions.
Tighten the terminal screws to between 0.74 and 0.9 N·m. 
Loose screws may occasionally result in fire.
Set the parameters of the product so that they are 
suitable for the system being controlled. If they are not 
suitable, unexpected operation may occasionally result in 
property damage or accidents.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire, 
install in a Pollution Degree 2 environment (a controlled 
environment relatively free of contaminants).
A malfunction in the product may occasionally make 
control operations impossible or prevent alarm outputs, 
resulting in property damage. To maintain safety in the 
event of malfunction of the product, take appropriate 
safety measures, such as installing a monitoring device 
on a separate line.
 !CAUTION
A semiconductor is used in the output section of long-life 
relays. If excessive noise or surge is impressed on the 
output terminals, a short-circuit failure is likely to occur. If 
the output remains shorted, fire will occur due to 
overheating of the heater or other cause. Take measures 
in the overall system to prevent excessive temperature 
increase and to prevent fire from spreading.
Do not allow pieces of metal or wire cuttings to get inside 
connectors. Failure to do so may occasionally result in 
minor electric shock, fire, or damage to equipment.
Do not allow dust and dirt to collect between the pins in 
the connector on the Conversion Cable. Failure to do so 
may occasionally result in fire.
