SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
that appear in this operating manual or on the equipment must
be strictly followed to ensure the safety of the operating
personnel as well as the instrument.
the manufacturer it might impair the protection provided by the
equipment.
Read complete instructions prior to installation and
operation of the unit.
WARNING :Risk of electric shock.
WIRING GUIDELINES
WARNING:
1. To prevent the risk of electric shock power supply to the
equipment must be kept OFF while doing the wiring
arrangement. Do not touch the terminals while power is
being supplied.
2. To eliminate electromagnetic interference use short wire
with adequate ratings; twists of the same in equal size shall
be made. For the input and output signal lines, be sure to
use shielded wires and keep them away from each other.
3. Cable used for connection to power source, must have a
insulation capacity made of at least 1.5kV.
4. When extending the thermocouple lead wires, always
use thermocouple compensation wires for wiring. For the
RTD type, use a wiring material with a small lead resistance
three wires.

5.
standard power supply cable for the instrument.
MAINTENANCE
1. The equipment should be cleaned regularly to avoid
blockage of ventilating parts.
2. Clean the equipment with a clean soft cloth. Do not use
Isopropyl alcohol or any other cleaning agent.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
1. This equipment, being built-in-type, normally becomes a
part of main control panel and in such case the terminals do
not remain accessible to the end user after installation and
Internal wiring.
2.
it may lead to a safety hazard that may in turn endanger life
or cause electrical shock to the operator.
3. Circuit breaker or mains switch must be installed between
power source and supply terminals to facilitate power 'ON'
or ‘OFF’ function. However this switch or breaker must be
installed in a convenient position normally accessible to the
operator.
4. Use and store the temperature controller within the
mentioned in this manual.
CAUTION
1.
output connections.
2.
power switch and fuses. Make wiring so that the fuse is
placed between the mains power supply switch and the
controller. (2 pole breaker fuse- rating: 275V AC,1A for
electrical circuitry is highly recommended)
3.
control panel), its output terminals get connected to host
equipment. Such equipment shall also comply with basic
EMI/EMC and other safety requirements like BSEN61326-1
and BSEN 61010 respectively.
4. Thermal dissipation of equipment is met through
ventilation holes provided on chassis of equipment. Such
ventilation holes shall not be obstructed else it can lead to a
safety hazard.
5. The output terminals shall be strictly loaded to the

1.Prepare the panel cutout with proper dimensions as shown
above.
2.Fit the unit into the panel with the help of clamp given.
3. The equipment in its installed state must not come in
close proximity to any heating sources, caustic vapors,
oils, steam, or other unwanted process by-products.
4.
terminal block using the tightening torque within the
range of 1.2 N.m.
5. Do not connect anything to unused terminals.
EMC GUIDELINES
1. Use proper input power cables with shortest
connections and twisted type.
2. Layout of connecting cables shall be away from any
internal EMI source.
LOAD CONNECTIONS
1. The service life of the output relays depends on the
switching capacity and switching conditions. Consider
the actual application conditions and use the product
within the rated load and electrical service life.
2. Although the relay output is rated at 5 amps it is
always necessary to use an interposing relay or
the controller in the event of a fault short developing on
the power output circuit.
3. Always use a separate fused supply for the “power
load circuit”and do not take this from the live and neutral
terminals supplying power to the controller.

Electrical noise generated by switching of inductive
loads can create momentary disruption, erratic
display, latch up, data loss or permanent damage to
the instrument.
a) Use of snubber circuits across loads as shown
above, is recommended.
b) Use separate shielded wires for inputs.

Use only the correct thermocouple wire or
compensating cable from the probe to
instrument terminals avoiding joints in the
cable if possible.
Failure to use the correct wire type will lead to
inaccurate readings.
Ensure that the input sensor connected at the
terminals and the input type set in the
same.
