!
4-2 Precautions while connections
Observe the following cautions during connections for securing safety and reliability.
4-2-1
Power supply
Use a single-phase power supply having a stable voltage without any waveform distortion for the
purpose of preventing wrong operations.
4-2-2
Keep the input/output connections away from a high voltage power circuit
Don’t place the input/output cables close or in parallel with any strong power circuits including
power line. Place the cables 50 cm or more away from high voltage power circuits when they are
placed close or in parallel to other circuits.
4-2-3
Keep the thermocouple input away from a heat source
For thermocouple inputs, keep the input terminals away from a heat source (a heating body) to
reduce a reference junction compensation error.
Don’t expose the input terminals to direct sunlight, etc.
4-2-4
Keep all connection cables away from noises
Keep all connection cables away from noise source as far as possible, otherwise unexpected
malfunction may occur. Provide a solution if the cables cannot be separated from a noise source
due to unavoidable circumstances.
4-2-5
Use crimp style terminals
Fix crimp style terminals to termination of connection cables for preventing the looseness or
disconnection of terminals and a short-circuit failure between terminals.
Use the crimp style terminals with insulation sleeve for preventing an electric shock.
Secure the connected cables so as not to allow them to be hooked by
a person or a substance, otherwise the connections may be cut and
disrupted that may cause an electric shock or other accidents.

Connection of power terminals
For connection to the power terminals, use a 600 V PVC insulated cable terminated by the crimp
style terminals with insulation sleeve.Note) Use the cords approved by the following standards.
(1) IEC 227-3
(2) ANSI/UL817
(3) CSA C22.2 No.21/49

Connection of thermocouple (TC) inputs
Be sure to use thermocouple wires (or extension wires) to the input terminals of this recorder. If a
copper wire is used halfway, a noticeable measuring error occurs. If using a pair of thermocouple
wire in parallel, it may have an influence on the measurement.
When it is necessary to operate the instrument in this situation, check for no influence while
operating the instrument before using.
mark of measuring input terminals
A high voltage may be applied to the measuring input terminals due
to common mode noises. The allowable noise value is lower than 30
VAC or lower than 60 VDC. Make sure that the noises are lower
than the allowable values. Mount the terminal cover after
connections for the purpose of preventing an electric shock and to
protect the input wires. In the case of thermocouple input, the
mounting of the terminal cover can reduce the reference junction
compensation error.

4-4-4
Connection of resistance thermometer (RTD) input
Use a 3-core cable where each lead wire has an equal resistance value. Don’t use one resistance
thermometer in parallel with other instruments (controller, etc.).

Warning
mark of alarm output terminals
Connect a load not exceeding the specified contact capacity to the
alarm output terminals. If the voltage more than 30VAC/60VDC is
to be applied to the alarm output terminal, use type O crimp style
terminal with an insulation sleeve to connect double-insulated
wires (dielectric strength of 2300 VAC or more) for the signal wires
and for the other signal wire use basic insulated wires (dielectric
strength of 1390 VAC), If the voltage more than 30VAC/60VDC is
to be applied to either alarm output terminal of channel, use
double-insulated wires or reinforced insulation for external circuit
of all the channels. A buffer relay power supply is applied to the
alarm output terminals after connections. Do not touch these
terminals since an electric shock will occur. Be sure to mount the
terminal cover after connections.
Caution
Take a safety measure.
An alarm output of this recorder may become defective caused by
wrong operation, failures, and other abnormal inputs.
Take a safety measure against an output failure before use as
occasion calls.

Connections
Turn off the power supply and buffer relay power supply before connections to prevent an electric
shock.
(1) Connect cables to the load via a buffer relay.
(2) Use cables with the crimp style terminals with insulation sleeves for the alarm output
terminals. Only one crimp style terminal is allowed to connect to the terminal.
●Mount a contact protective element conforming to the buffer
relay. The relay is broken, if a signal exceeding the contact rating
is applied even if momentarily.
●To prevent a malfunction being caused by a light load, the most
effective mounting position for the element is on the coil side of
the buffer relay (refer to “4-5-2 Connection” example of mechanical relay ‘c’ contact outputs diagrams)
Selection of buffer relay
(1) Coil rating .......... Less than the contact rating of output
terminals
(2) Contact rating ... More than twice the load current
A coil surge absorption element built-in type relay is
recommendable. Mount an additional buffer relay if a buffer
relay satisfying the load rating is not available.
Selection of contact
protective element
Mount a contact protective element if a surge absorption element
built-in buffer relay is not available. This element is generally
composed of C (capacitor) and R (resistor).
