Modular Temperature Controller
EJ1
In-panel Temperature Controller with
Flexible Modular Design for Greater
Integration with Host Devices
• The compact modular structure enables construction of
temperature systems optimally suited to the application.
• Connection can be made to a Programmable Controller without
any programming required, reducing the number of steps
required in ladder programming design.
• One fully multi-input Unit includes a thermocouple, platinumresistance thermometer, and analog input for easy selection
and reduced inventory requirements.
• Connect directly to the G3ZA Multi-channel Power Controller
using optimum cycle control for high-accuracy regulation with
minimal noise.
• Improved functionality to enable connecting more devices with
programless communications.
Connect multiple Controllers to one PLC.
Refer to the Safety Precautions on page 21.
Models with current outputs added.
Functionality improved for Basic Units and HFU
Ordering Information
■ Temperature Controller
Standard Control Models
Note: 1. An End Unit is always required for connection to a Basic Unit or an HFU. An HFU cannot operate without a Basic Unit. External communications cannot be performed when using a
Basic Unit only.
2. For heating/cooling control applications, control outputs 3 and 4 on the 2-point models are used for the cooling or heating control outputs.
On the 4-point models, heating/cooling control is performed for the two input points.
3. When using the heater burnout alarm, purchase a Current Transformer (E54-CT1 or E54-CT3) separately.
4. There are three operation instructions that can be sent to Basic Units connected to an HFU.

Restrictions on Unit Placement
Always connect the HFU on the left side of the Basic Unit. Do not connect the End Unit directly to the HFU.
Always connect a Basic Unit to the End Unit.
■ Insulation Blocks
Each EJ1 Unit is electrically insulated for each function block as shown in the following figures.
Functional insulation is applied between the power supply, input, output, and communications terminal sections.
If reinforced double insulation is required, use power supplies that comply with IEC60664 for reinforced double insulation for the EJ1's external
power supply and for power supplies connected to the EJ1.
■ Programless Communications
Communications with PLCs from OMRON (SYSMAC CS/CJ/CP1H Series) and Mitsubishi Electric (MELSEC-Q/QnA/QnAS/An/Ans/FX
3UC
Series)
can be performed without creating ladder programming.
Using programless communications enables monitoring and changing settings for the EJ1 by simply reading and writing to PLC memory.
The EJ1 automatically performs communications with the PLC, which reduces work hours spent programming for communications from the PLC
to the EJ1.

for wiring. To connect bare wires to the terminal block, use copper
braided or solid wires with a gage of AWG22 to AWG14 (equal to
cross-sectional area of 0.326 to 2.081 mm
2
) for power supply
lines and a gage of AWG28 to AWG16 (equal to cross-sectional
area of 0.081 to 1.309 mm
2
). (The stripping length is 6 to 8 mm.)
6. Do not wire terminals that do not have an identified use.
7. Allow as much space as possible between the product and
devices that generate a powerful high-frequency or surge.
Separate the high-voltage or large-current power lines from other
lines, and avoid parallel or common wiring with the power lines
when you are wiring to the terminals.
8. Use the product within the rated load and power supply.
9. Make sure that the rated voltage is attained within two seconds of
turning ON the power.
10.It takes 30 minutes from the time the Temperature Controller is
turned ON until the current temperature is displayed. Always turns
ON the power supply at least 30 minutes before starting
temperature control.
11.The switch or circuit breaker must be within easy reach of the
operator, and must be marked as a disconnecting means for this
unit.
12.Do not use paint thinner or similar chemical to clean with. Use
standard grade alcohol.
13.Design the system (e.g., the control panel) allowing leeway for the
delay required before product outputs are valid after turning ON
power to the product.
14.Never touch the electronic components, connectors, or patterns
on product boards with your bare hands. Always hold the product
by the case. Inappropriately handling the product may
occasionally damage internal components due to static electricity.
15.Use a switch, relay, or other device with contacts to turn OFF the
power supply quickly. Gradually lowering the voltage of the power
supply may result in incorrect outputs or memory errors.
16.Do not touch the electronic components with your hands or
subject them to shock when removing the terminal block.
17.Connect only the specified number of products in only a specified
configuration.
18.Mount the product to a DIN Rail mounted vertically to the ground.
19.Always turn OFF the power supply before wiring the product,
replacing the product, or changing the product configuration.
20.Attach the enclosed cover seal to the connector opening on the
left end product during installation.
21.Do not use port B on the end product when using port C on
HFUs.
22.Install the product only after reading the manual provided with the
End Unit.
Do not touch the terminals while power is being supplied.
Doing so may occasionally result in minor injury due to
electric shock.
Use a power supply that complies with the reinforced
insulation specified in IEC 60664 for the EJ1 external
power supply or the power supply connected to the EJ1.
If non-compliant power supplies are used, electric shock
may occasionally result in minor injury.
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.
Never disassemble, modify, or repair the product or touch
any of the internal parts. Minor electric shock, fire, or
malfunction may occasionally occur.
Tighten the terminal screws to between 0.40 and
0.56 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.
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.

22 Modular Temperature Controller EJ1
■ Precautions for Correct Use
Installation
1. Do not connect the End Unit directly to an HFU.
2. Connect the End Unit to the right side of a Basic Unit.
3. Connect the HFU to the left side of the Basic Units.
4. Connection is not possible to CJ1-series PLCs.
5. Use the EJ1G-@@ for gradient temperature control. When not
using gradient temperature control, use the EJ1N-@@.
6. When removing the terminal block to replace a Unit, be sure that
the new Unit is the same as the Unit that is being replaced.
Service Life
1. Use the product within the following temperature and humidity
ranges:
Temperature:
−10°C to 55°C (with no condensation or icing)
Humidity: 25% to 85%
When the Temperature Controller is incorporated in a control
panel, make sure that the controller's ambient temperature and
not the panel's ambient temperature does not exceed 55°C.
2. The service life of electronic devices like Temperature 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 Temperature Controller.
3. Mounting two or more Temperature Controllers side by side, or
mounting Temperature Controllers above each other may cause
heat to build up inside the Temperature Controllers, which will
shorten their service life. If the Temperature Controllers are
mounted above each other or side by side, use forced cooling by
fans or other means of air ventilation to cool down the
Temperature Controllers.
However, be sure not to cool only the terminals. Doing so will
result in measurement errors.
Ensuring Measurement Accuracy
1. When extending or connecting the thermocouple lead wire, be
sure to use compensating wires that match the thermocouple
types.
2. When extending or connecting the lead wire of the platinum
resistance thermometer, be sure to use wires that have low
resistance and keep the resistance of the three lead wires the
same.
3. Mount the Temperature Controller so that it is horizontally level.
4. If the measurement accuracy is low, check to see if input shift has
been set correctly.
Precautions for Operation
1. A certain amount of time is required for the outputs to turn ON
from the time the power supply is turned ON. Due consideration
must be given to this time when incorporating Temperature
Controllers in a sequence circuit.
2. It takes 30 minutes from the time the Temperature Controller is
turned ON until the current temperature is displayed. Always turns
ON the power supply at least 30 minutes before starting
temperature control.
3. Avoid using the Temperature Controller near a radio, television
set, or other wireless device. Its use would result in reception
disturbance.
Wiring Screw-Less Clamp Terminals
There are two holes for each terminal. The
hole on the right is the operation hole and
the hole on the left is the wire hole.
Insert a flat-blade screwdriver with a width of
2.5 mm into the operation hole, insert the
wire into the wire hole, and then remove the
screwdriver. The wire will be clamped.
Use crimp terminals that are suitable for the
cross-sectional area of the wire.
Recommended crimp terminals:
Weidmuller H-sleeve series
Installation
Connecting Units
1. Align the connectors and connect the Units to each other.
Connect an End Unit to the Unit on the right end.
Note: 1. Do not connect the End Unit directly to an HFU.
2. Connect the End Unit to the right side of a Basic Unit.
2. Slide the yellow sliders on the top and bottom of the Units until
they click into place.
3. Attach the cover seal to the connector opening on the Unit on the
left end of the EJ1.
