Caution

This instrument is intended to be used under the following environmental conditions
(IEC61010-1): Overvoltage category , Pollution degree 2
Ensure the mounting location corresponds to the following conditions:

• A minimum of dust, and an absence of corrosive gases

• No flammable or explosive gases

• No mechanical vibrations or shocks

• No exposure to direct sunlight, an ambient temperature of 0 to 50 (32 to 122 )

that does not change rapidly

• An ambient non-condensing humidity of 35 to 85%RH

• No large capacity electromagnetic switches or cables through which large current

is flowing

• No water, oil or chemicals or where the vapors of these substances can come into

contact with the unit

Note: Do not install this instrument near flammable material even though the case of this instrument

is made of flame-resistant resin.
Avoid setting this instrument directly on flammable material.

Caution

• Use the solderless terminal with an insulation sleeve in which an M3 screw fits, when wiring the

KT2.

• Tighten the terminal screw with the specified torque. If excessive force is applied to the screw

when tightening, the terminal screw or case may be damaged.

• Do not apply a commercial power source to the sensor which is connected to the input terminal

nor allow the power source to come into contact with the sensor.

• This controller does not have built-in power switch, circuit breaker or fuse.

It is necessary to install them near the controller.
(Recommended fuse: Time-lag fuse, rated voltage 250V AC, rated current 2A)

Warning

• It is recommended that the PID auto-tuning be performed on the trial run.

• Do not touch live terminals. This may cause electric shock or problems in operation.

• Turn the power supply to the instrument OFF before retightening the terminal and cleaning.

Working or touching the terminal with the power switched ON may result in severe injury or

death due to Electric Shock.

• Use a soft, dry cloth when cleaning the instrument.

(Alcohol based substances may tarnish or deface the unit)

• As the display section is vulnerable, do not strike or scratch it with a hard object.

• RS-485: Serial communication terminals

Notice

• To extend a thermocouple’s lead wire,be sure to use a compensating lead wire in accordancewith

the sensor input specification.(Ifany other compensating lead wire is used, a temperature indication
error may be caused.)

• Use the 3-wire RTD which corresponds to the input specification of this controller.

• This controller does not have a built-in power switch, circuit breaker or fuse. Therefore, it is

necessary to install them in the circuit near the external controller.
(Recommended fuse: Time-lag fuse, rated voltage 250V AC, rated current 2A)

• When using a 24V DC for the power source, do not confuse polarity.

• When using a relay contact output type, externally use a relay according to the capacity of

the load to protect the built-in relay contact.

• When wiring, keep input wires (thermocouple, RTD, etc.) away from AC sources or load wires
to avoid external interference.

• Do not apply a commercial power source to the sensor connected to the input terminal nor

allow the power source to come into contact with the sensor.

PV/SV display

5.1 Setup procedures

The setup procedures of this controller is shown below. Refer to each item for details.

(1) Initial setting : Set the Input type, Alarm type, etc. during Auxiliary function setting mode 2.

(If the users’ specification is the same as the default value of the KT2, initial
setting is not necessary for the controller.)

(2) Main setting mode: Set Step SV and Step time for Program control during Main setting mode.

Referto Chapter“6.Setup”.

(3) Sub setting mode : Set PID values, A1 setting, etc during Subsetting mode.

(If the users’ PID values are the same as the default value of the KT2, it is not
necessary to set them.) Refer to Chapter “6. Setup”.

(4) Auxiliary function setting mode 1: Set the Lock function, Communication conditions, etc. during

Auxiliary function setting mode 1. (If the users’ specification is the same as
the default value of the KT2, it is not necessary to set them.)

Run Refer to Chapter “6. Setup”.

5.2 Initial setting

Before using this controller, it is necessary to set up the Input type, Alarm type, Control action, etc.
according to the users’ conditions. This is an initial setting.
Default values are set as follows.
Input: K –200to1370 ,Alarm1(A1):Noalarmaction,Alarm2(A2):Noalarmaction,Reverse(Heating)action

If the users’ specification is the same as the default value of the KT2, initial setting is not necessary.
Proceed to Section “6.1 Main setting mode”.

Turn the power supply to the instrument on.
For approx. 3 seconds after the power is turned on, the MEMO/STEP display is turned off and the PV/SV
display indicates sensor input characters and temperature unit. (Table 5.2-1)
During this time, all outputs and LED indicators are in an OFF status.

Basic operation for initial setting

Initial setting is conducted in Auxiliary function setup mode 2. To go to Auxiliary function setup mode 2,
press the key for approx. 3 seconds while holding down the key in the PV/SV display mode.

Display used for explaining setting items

Setting items (Section “5.2 Initial setting” and setting modes from Section 6.1 to 6.3) are explained as follows.
(e.g.) Input type selection

means that input type characters and selected

value (K –200 to 1370 ) are indicated in turn.

Input type selection K (-200 to 1370 )

• The input type can be selected from thermocouple (10 types),
RTD (2 types), DC current (2 types) and DC voltage (4 types).
The unit / can be selected as well.

• When changing the input from DC voltage to other inputs,

remove the sensor connected to this controller first, then
change for the input. If the input is changed with the
sensor connected, the input circuit may break.
