damage to property, or faulty operation.

ATTENTION

Do not leave the cable connected to the Temperature Controller. A malfunction may occur due to electrical noise in the cable.

Do not use any devices or cables that show signs of damage. Minor electric shock or fire may occur.

Never disassemble, modify, or repair the product or touch any of the internal parts. Minor electric shock, fire, or malfunction may occur.

Do not allow metal particles or wires to enter the connector. Minor electric shock, fire, or malfunction may occur.

Keep the connector pins free of dust and dirt.

Precautions for Safety Use

1) Be sure to check the orientation of the connector before inserting it into the device. Do not force the connector if it cannot be inserted easily. Doing so may result in damage.

2) Do not place objects on top of the cable, pull on the cable, or bend the cable beyond their natural bending limit.

3) Do not connect or disconnect the cable during communications. Doing so will cause malfunction or failure.

4) Allow as much space as possible between the controller and devices that generate powerful high-frequency electrical noise or surge.

5) Use this product within the rated load and power supply.

6) Make sure that the device's metal components are not touching the external power terminals.

7) Do not touch the connectors with wet hands. Electric shock may occur.

Precautions for Correct Use

1) Do not use this product in the following places. Places directly subject to heat radiated from electrical or heat generating equipment. Places subject to splashing liquid or oil atmosphere. Places subject to direct sunlight. Places subject to dust or corrosive gas(in particular,sulfide gas and ammonia gas). Places subject to intense temperature change. Places subject to icing and condensation. Places subject to vibration and large shocks.

2) Use/store within the rated temperature and humidity ranges.

3) Do not connect or disconnect the USB connectors repeatedly over a short period of time. The personal computer may malfunction.

4) After you download the driver from the A-B website (refer to Installing the Driver) and insert the USB connector into the personal computer, check the COM port number before starting communications. The personal computer requires time to recognize the cable connection. This delay does not indicate failure.

5) Do not connect the USB cable through a USB hub. Doing so may damage the cable.

6) Do not use an extension cord to extend the USB cable length when connecting to the personal computer. Doing so may damage the cable.

7) Do not use paint thinner or similar chemical to clean the cable or its connectors. Use standard grade alcohol.

Cable Configuration to PC and Controller

Use the following procedure to connect the Temperature Controller to the personal computer using the 900-CPOEM1 USB Cable. The cable is used for communications with the COM port of the personal computer. To perform communications using the 900-CPOEM1, set the communications port (COM port) number used by the software to the communications port (COM port) number that has been assigned to the 900-CPOEM1 USB Cable.

1. First, turn ON the power to the Temperature Controller and DC.

Note: If power is not turned on to the PC and Temperature Controller first before

connecting the cable, damage may result to the Temperature Controller communication port.

2. Connect the USB Cable

Connect one end of the cable to the personal computer's USB port and the other

end to the Setting Tool port on the Temperature Controller.
