INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Thank you for purchasing the RKC instrument. In order to achieve maximum performance
and ensure proper operation of your new instrument, carefully read all the instructions
in this manual. Please place this manual in a convenient location for easy reference.
• 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 specifications
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.
• This is a Class A instrument. In a domestic environment, this
instrument may cause radio interference, in which case the user
may be required to take adequate measures.
• This instrument is protected from electric shock by reinforced
insulation. Provide reinforced insulation between the wire for the
input signal and the wires for instrument power supply, source of
power and loads.
• Be sure to provide an appropriate surge control circuit respectively
for the following:
- If input/output or signal lines within the building are longer than 30
meters.
- If input/output or signal lines leave the building, regardless the
length.
• This instrument is designed for installation in an enclosed
instrumentation panel. All high-voltage connections such as power
supply terminals must be enclosed in the instrumentation panel to
avoid electric shock by operating personnel.
• All precautions described in this manual should be taken to avoid
damage to the instrument or equipment.
• All wiring must be in accordance with local codes and regulations.
• All wiring must be completed before power is turned on to prevent
electric shock, instrument failure, or incorrect action. The power
must be turned off before repairing work for input break and output
failure including replacement of sensor, contactor or SSR, and all
wiring must be completed before power is turned on again.
• To prevent instrument damage of failure, protect the power line and
the input/output lines from high currents with a protection device
such as fuse, circuit breaker, etc.
• Prevent metal fragments or lead wire scraps from falling inside
instrument case to avoid electric shock, fire or malfunction.
• Tighten each terminal screw to the specified torque found in the
manual to avoid electric shock, fire or malfunction.
• For proper operation of this instrument, provide adequate
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
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.
• Do not connect modular connectors to telephone line.

2.3 Mounting procedures
C100
When the controllers are mounted on
Mounting bracket
panel with 1 to 5 mm in thickness
Since the mounting brackets are already
installed on the controller, insert the
controller into the panel front without
removal of the brackets.
When the controllers are mounted on
panel with 5 to 9 mm in thickness
Remove the mounting brackets from the
controller with a slotted screwdriver.
Engage each mounting bracket with holes
marked with 5-9 on the housing and then
insert the controller into the panel from the
panel front.

C400/C410/C700/C900
1. Prepare the panel cutout as
specified in 2.2 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 the same way described
in 3. and 4.
C900 is used in the above figures for explanation, but the same
mounting procedures also apply to C400/C410/C700.

WARNING
!
3.1 Wiring Cautions
• For thermocouple input, use the appropriate compensation wire.
• For RTD input, use low resistance lead wire with no difference in resistance
between the three lead wires.
• To avoid noise induction, keep input signal wire away from instrument
power line, load lines and power lines of other electric equipment.

• 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.
Instrument power
• Power supply wiring must be twisted and have a low voltage drop.
• About 5 to 6 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.
• This instrument is not furnished with a power supply switch or fuses.
Therefore, if a fuse or power supply switch is required, install close to the
instrument.
- Fuse type: Time-lag fuse
- Recommended fuse rating: Rated voltage 250 V Rated current: 1 A
• For an instrument with 24 V power supply, supply power from a SELV
circuit.
