instrument. Deformation or discoloration will occur. Use a soft,
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
Prepare the panel cutout as specified in Dimensions.
Insert the instrument through the panel cutout.
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.
Tighten a bracket setscrew from the rear of the bracket with
Phillips screwdriver. Do not overtighten the bracket setscrew.
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.

Pressing the SET key after the numeric value is
changed registers that value as the set value and
moves the display to the next parameter.
After the parameter is changed, press the SET key
for more than 5 sec. to return to PV display mode.
Key operational cautions
When the set value is changed, it is not automatically stored. To store it, press the SET key.
If each value is not brightly or dimly lit even after the controller moves to alarm set value mode or parameter setting mode, the set
data may be locked. In this case, change the "LCK" parameter set value to "0100."
For this controller, if no key operation is performed for more than one minute in alarm set value mode or parameter setting mode,
the controller returns to the PV display mode.
Cautions for operation
Connect the input signal wiring and then turn on. All mounting and wiring must be completed before the power is turned on.

A power failure of 20 ms or less will not affect the control action. When a power failure of more than 20 ms occurs, the instrument
assumes that the power has been turned off. When power returns, the controller will retain the conditions that existed prior to shut down.

Alarm action: ( : Alarm set value)
Process alarm function
Differential gap of alarm
This function can be used to set the alarm differential gap.
Alarm hold action
This hold action is used to make alarm invalid until the input value
exits once from the alarm region by ignoring the alarm state even if
the input value is in the alarm state when the power is turned on.

8. INPUT RANGE TABLE

Set data lock function
The set data lock function permits locking of critical parameters
and prevents unauthorized personnel from changing parameters.
Press the SET key for five seconds to return to parameter
setting mode to display "LCK" on the measured value (PV)
display. Press the SHIFT ,UP, and DOWN keys to set the number in
the table. Thus the set data lock state can be selected.
0100 No set data locked. (All parameters changeable)
0101 Set data locked. (All parameters not changeable)
0110 Only the SV is changeable with the set data locked.
Do not change the upper two digits "01" of the set value, as it
may cause malfunction. Checking each set value is possible during data lock.
