ventilation for heat dispensation.
●
Do not connect wires to unused terminals as this will interfere
with proper operation of the instrument.
●
Turn off the power supply before cleaning the instrument.
●
Do not use a volatile solvent such as paint thinner to clean the

dry cloth to remove stains from the instrument.
●
To avoid damage to instrument display, do not rub with an
abrasive material or push front panel with a hard object.
WARNING
An external protection device must be installed if failure of this
●
instrument could result in damage to the instrument, equipment
or injury to personnel.
All wiring must be completed before power is turned on to
●
prevent electric shock, fire or damage to instrument and
equipment.
This instrument must be used in accordance with the
●
specifictions to prevent fire or damage to instrument and
equipment.
This instrument is not intended for use in locations subject to
●
flammable or explosive gases.
Do not touch high-voltage connections such as power supply
●
terminals, etc. to avoid electric shock.
RKC is not responsible if this instrument is repaired, modified
●
or disassembled by other than factory-approved personnel.
Malfunction can occur and warranty is void under these
conditions.

Mounting procedures■
REX-AC110●
<When the instruments are mounted on panel with 1 to 5 mm in thickness>
Since the mounting brackets are already installed on the instrument, insert the instrument
into the panel front without removal of the brackets.
<When the instruments are mounted on panel with 5 to 9 mm in thickness>
Remove the mounting brackets from the instrument with a slotted screwdriver.
Engage each mounting bracket with holes marked with "5-9" on the housing and
then insert the instrument through from the panel cutout.
REX-AC410●
①
Prepare the panel cutout as specified in Dimensions.
②
Insert the instrument through the panel cutout.
③
Insert an upper mounting bracket along the bracket
insertion groove from the back, and then engage a projection
at the bracket end with a recess at the groove front and also
insert metal fitting legs into slots.
④
Tighten a bracket setscrew from the rear of the bracket with
Phillips screwdriver. Do not overtighten the bracket setscrew.
⑤
The other mounting bracket should be installed in the same
way described in and .

3. WIRING
WARNING
To prevent electric shock or instrument failure, do not turn on the power until all the wiring is completed.
Cautions for wiring■
(1) For thermocouple input, use the specified compensation wire.
(2) For RTD input, use low resistance lead wire with no difference in resistance between the three lead wires.
(3) To avoid noise induction, keep input signal wire away from instrument power line, load lines and power lines of other electric equipment.
(4) If there is electrical noise in the vicinity of the instrument that could affect operation, use a noise filter.
・
Shorten the distance between the twisted power supply wire pitches to achieve the most effective noise reduction.
・
Always install the noise filter on a grounded panel. Minimize the wiring distance between the noise filter output and the instrument power
supply terminals to achieve the most effective noise reduction.
・
Do not connect fuses or switches to the noise filter output
wiring as this will reduce the effectiveness of the noise filter.
(5) Power supply wiring must be twisted and have a low voltage
drop.
(6) About five or six seconds are required as preparation time for
contact output every time the instrument is turned on.
Use a delay relay when the output line is used for an external
interlock circuit.
(7) This instrument is not furnished with a power supply switch or fuse. Therefore, if a fuse or power supply switch is required, install close to
the instrument.
[Recommended fuse rating: Rated voltage 250 V, Rated current 1 A Fuse type: Time-lag fuse]
(8) Do not excessively tighten the terminal screws. In addition, use the solderless terminal appropriate to the screw size.
(Screw size : M3x6, recommended tightening torque : 0.4 N·m [4 kgf·cm])
(9) For an instrument with 24V power supply, supply power from a SELV circuit.
