Chapter 1 Explanation of Functions

1.1 Overview of the FX100

Measurement Input

DC voltage, thermocouple, resistance temperature detector, or ON/OFF signal (contact

signal or voltage signal) can be measured. The input signal is A/D-converted at a scan

interval and becomes a measured value of the channel. In addition, difference

computation, square-root computation, and scaling can be carried out on the measured

data to be a measured value of the channel. With the pulse measurement function (/

PM1 option), you can measure the number of pulses per unit time and pulse sum value.

Displaying the Measured Data

The measured data acquired to the internal memory can be displayed on the operation

display using trend waveforms, numeric values (digital values), or bar graphs.

Explanation of Functions

Alarms

Bar Graph Display

Alarms can be generated when the measured data meets a certain condition. When an

alarm occurs, you can have the information about the alarm displayed on the operation

screens. Also, you can output relay signals from the alarm output terminal on the option

terminal block (/A1, /A2, /A3 options). The overview display allows you to check the

alarm status on all channels. Also, the alarm summary shows detailed information about

the alarms in the order that they occurred.

1.2 Functions of the Input Section

Difference Computation

The value obtained by subtracting the measured value of another channel (this channel is called a “reference channel”) from the input value becomes a measured value of the channel.

Input value

Note

Even if the input type or the measurement range of the difference computation channel and the reference channel is not the same, the difference computation is performed according to the following rules.

• When the decimal position between the reference channel and the difference computation

• When the units for the reference channel and the difference computation channel are

• When the reference channel is set to [Scale] or [Sqrt], the computation uses the scaled

Measured value of the reference channel

channel is different, the measured value of the reference channel is adjusted to the decimal position of the measured value of the difference computation channel to make the computation. Example: When the measured value of the difference computation channel is 10.00 and the measured value of the reference channel is 100.0, the computation result becomes

10.00 – 100.0 = –90.00.

Burnout Detection

When measuring temperature using a thermocouple and the thermocouple burns out, you can specify the measurement result to be set to positive over range* or negative over range.* Burnout can be set on each measurement channel.

* Positive over range is a condition in which the input signal is over the upper limit of the

measurable range. Negative over range is a condition in which the input signal is below the lower limit of the measurable range. The measured value is indicated as “Burnout” for both cases.

Reference Junction Compensation (RJC)

When measuring the temperature using a thermocouple, the reference junction compensation can be used. You can select whether to use the reference junction compensation provided by the FX100 or external reference junction compensation. If you are using external reference junction compensation, you will also set the reference voltage.

Note

When using the external reference junction compensation, set an appropriate reference junction compensation voltage. As in the example in the following figure, if the reference junction temperature for the external reference junction compensation is T0 °C, set the thermoelectromotive force of the 0 °C reference for T0 °C as the reference junction compensation voltage.

Filter/Moving Average

The filter and moving average are used to suppress the effects of noise that is riding on the signal. Filtering is provided on the FX103. Moving average is provided on the FX106 and FX112. The filter or moving average can be set on each channel.

Filter Function (FX103)

Suppresses the effects of noise above the frequency determined by the specified time constant. The time constant can be set to 2 s, 5 s, or 10 s.

Moving Average

The input signal of the measurement channel is set to the averaged value of the m most current data points (the number of moving-averaged data points) acquired at the scan interval. The number of moving-averaged data points can be set in the range 2 to 16. The figure below shows an example indicating the operation of the buffer for the moving average computation when the number of moving-averaged data points is set to “5.”

Integration Time of the A/D Converter

The FX100 uses an A/D converter to convert the sampled analog signal to a digital signal. By setting the integration time to match the time period corresponding to one cycle of the power supply or an integer multiple of one cycle, the power supply frequency noise can be effectively eliminated. The integration time of the A/D converter is selected from the table below.

Model Integration Time of the A/D Converter

FX103 Select 16.7 ms (60 Hz), 20 ms (50 Hz), or Auto FX106/FX112 Select 16.7 ms (60 Hz), 20 ms (50 Hz), 100 ms, or Auto

• If “Auto” is selected, the FX100 will automatically detect the power supply frequency and select 16.7 ms or 20 ms. Fixed to 20 ms on /P1 models that use the 24 VDC power supply.

• Because 100 ms is an integer multiple of 16.7 ms and 20 ms, this setting can be used to eliminate the power frequency noise for either frequency, 50 Hz or 60 Hz. However, when the integration time is 100 ms, the scan interval is fixed to 2 s.

1.3 Alarm Function

Alarm Hysteresis

You can set a width (hysteresis) to the values used to activate and release alarms. Alarm hysteresis prevents frequent activation and release of alarms when the measured value is unstable around the alarm value. The hysteresis is fixed to 0.5% of the measurement span (display scale width if the range is set to scale). It is applied only on alarms set to upper/lower limit alarm on measurement channels. The function can be turned ON/OFF. The initial value is set to [On] (use hysteresis). The setting applies to all measurement channels.

1.3 Alarm Function

Alarm Output Relay (/A1, /A2, or /A3 option)

If you are using a model with the optional alarm output relay, a contact signal can be generated according to the alarm conditions. The number of contact outputs for a/A1 to / A3 are 2, 4, and 6 respectively. The alarm output relays are indicated using [I01] to [I06] in the alarm output settings. The following functions can be specified on the alarm output relay.

Reflash

When multiple alarms are set to one alarm output relay, this function notifies the succeeding alarms after the first alarm that causes the relay activation. When a succeeding alarm occurs, the output relay temporarily turns OFF (approximately 500 ms). The initial value is set to Off (do not use). The reflash alarm function is set only to output relays I01, I02, and I03 (I01 and I02 for /A1 option).

Note

• Numerical Display of Measurement Channels (Common to Trend, Digital, and Bar Graph Displays)

When the measured values of measurement channels are over range (see below), the measured values are indicated as “+Over” or “–Over.” If a burnout is detected on a channel assigned to the burnout detection function, "Burnout" is displayed for the measured value. Otherwise, a numerical value is displayed.

Over Range of Measurement Channels

• For DC voltage input, over range occurs when the measured value of the measurement

channel exceeds ±5% of the measurable range. For example, the measurable range when the measurement range is 2 V is –2.000 to 2.000 V. If the measured value exceeds

2.200 V, + over range occurs; if the measured value falls below –2.200 V, – over range occurs.

• For thermocouple or RTD input, over range occurs when the measured value exceeds

approximately ±10°C of the measurable range. For example, the measurable range when the measurement range is R is 0.0 to 1760.0°C. If the measured value exceeds approximately 1770.0°C, + over range occurs; if the measured value falls below approximately –10.0°C, - over range occurs.

File Name

• Mddhhmm denotes the date and time.

Mddhhmm of setup data and screen image data is the date and time the file was created. Mddhhmm of other data is the date and time the first data was sampled.

M: Month (1 to 9, X (October), Y (November), Z (December), dd: day, hh: hour, mm: minute

• “a” denotes the last digit of the year (0 to 9).

However, “a” becomes a sequence number for the following case. It takes a value between A and Z. For example, if the acquisition of the display data is started and stopped, and started again within 1 minute by pressing the START key, the two file names are the same up to Mddhhmm (month, day, hour, and minute). In this case, the second file is assigned the sequence number A. Example:

Display Data and Event Data

The measured/computed data are first acquired to the FX100’s internal memory as two types of data, display data and event data.

• Display Data

Display data are used to display waveforms on the FX100’s screen. The sampling interval of display data is the time period corresponding to one dot on the screen. This interval is determined by the display update rate. The relationship between the display update rate and the sampling interval of display data is as follows:

Maximum value Minimum value

Time Scan interval Sampling inteval of event data Sampling inteval of display data (time corresponding to

one dot on the screen)

Display data

Event data

Measured/computed data at scan intervals

Display Update 15 s* 30 s* 1 min 2 min 5 min 10 min 15 min 20 min 30 min 1 h 2 h 4 h 10 h Rate (/div)

Sampling interval 0.5 1 2 4 10 20 30 40 60 120 240 480 1200 of display data (s)

* for the FX103 only

Display data consists of maximum and minimum values of the measured or computed data sampled at the scan interval within the time period corresponding to one dot on the time axis on the screen. Display data can be likened to the conventional recording on the chart sheet and are useful for long-term observations.

See page 1-18 for the display update rate.

• Event Data

Event data is the measured/computed data at specified sampling intervals. The sampling interval can be selected from the selections below. You cannot specify a sampling interval that is faster than the scan interval.

FX103: 250 ms, 500 ms, 1 s, 2 s, 5 s, 10 s, 30 s, 60 s, 120 s, 300 s, and 600 s

FX106/FX112:1 s, 2 s, 5 s, 10 s, 30 s, 60 s, 120 s, 300 s, and 600 s By setting the sampling interval equal to the scan interval, all measured or computed data sampled at the scan interval can be saved. In addition, the event data generated when an event occurs (an alarm, for example) can also be saved. This is useful when you wish to observe the measured/computed data in detail.

You can specify the channels to save the display data or event data from the measurement and computation channels (/M1, /PM1 option). By default, the data of all measurement/computation channels is set to be saved.

Data Acquisition (Display Data)

Data acquisition starts when the START key is pressed and stops when the STOP key is pressed. The display data are overwritten when the display data storage area in the internal memory becomes full, or the number of files* exceeds 16.

* The number of display data files

During manual save, a file is created for each data write operation (a set of start and stop operations). During auto save, a file is created every auto save interval and at every specified date/time.

Note

• The display data in the internal memory can be confirmed with the memory summary. See

section 5.3.

• When a power disruption occurs the file is closed.

1.5 Data Storage Function

Saving Data to the External Storage Medium (for Models with External Storage Drive)

Type of Storage Medium

The measured/computed data in the internal memory can be saved to the following external storage media.

• Floppy disk (1.44 MB)

• CF memory card (32 MB to 512 MB)

Note

• Use an external storage medium formatted to “FDISK 1 partition (hard disk format).”

• If a memory card larger than 32 MB is formatted using Windows XP, FAT32 is selected by default. The FX100 cannot use memory cards formatted to FAT32. When formatting a memory card on Windows XP, select FAT for the file system.

Two Saving Methods

There are two methods in which the data are saved to the external storage medium, manual save and auto save.

Manual Save

When saving the data residing in the internal memory to the external storage medium, insert the storage medium into the drive and carry out a given key operation. You can specify whether to save the entire data in the memory or only the data that have not been saved to the storage medium beforehand. Be sure to save data to a storage medium before it is overwritten. Check the remaining space in the internal memory and save data.

Explanation of Functions

Auto Save

The external storage medium is placed in the drive at all times. Data saving to the external storage medium is done automatically.

• Display data

The display data in the internal memory is saved automatically to the external storage medium according to the timing shown below.

•At specified intervals

You ca select an interval (auto save interval) form 10 minutes to 31 days.

* The selections vary depending on the number of channels of data that is saved and the

sampling interval.

• Specified time

You can specify a time to save the data as follows. This operation is called “data saving through memory timeup .”

• Every hour on the hour

• Specified hour on the hour every day

• Specified hour on the hour on the specified day every week

• Specified hour on the hour on the specified day every month

• When the acquisition to the memory is stopped

Saving Data Using FUNC Key Operation (During Auto Save)

Through FUNC key operation, display data/event data can be saved to the external storage medium at an arbitrary time during data acquisition. For the operating procedure, see section 7.3 . Below is the behavior of the FX100 when this operation is executed.

• When saving data at auto save intervals (display data) or data length (event data)

Saving of the data is repeated at auto save intervals or every data length from the point when data is saved through key operation.

Example: When auto save interval or data length is set to 1 hour

1.5 Data Storage Function

• Manual sampled data

The first time manual sample is executed, a manual sampled data file is created on the external storage medium. The data are appended to this file for each successive manual sample operation.

Note

When auto save is selected and there is no medium in the drive at the time when manual sample is executed, all unsaved data are saved the first time when manual sample is executed, after the storage medium is reinserted into the drive.

• TLOG data (/M1, /PM1 option)

The first time TLOG data is acquired, a TLOG data file is created on the external storage medium. The data are appended to this file at each time interval. When the number of TLOG data sets exceeds 400, a new file is created.

Note

When auto save is selected and there is no medium in the drive at the time when data are supposed to be saved, all unsaved data are saved the first time when the interval time expires after the storage medium is reinserted into the drive.

• Report data (/M1, /PM1 option)

The first time report data is created, a report data file is created on the external storage medium. A file is created for each type of report such as hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly reports. The data are appended to this file at each time interval.

Dividing report files

The report files are divided at the following times.

• When data acquisition is stopped.

• For hourly reports

• When the 0:00 report is created every day.

• When the number of data sets in the file reaches 25.

• For daily reports

•When the report for the first day of the month is created every month

• When the number of data sets in the file reaches 32.

Note

• FIFO (first in first out) method for the CF memory card

FIFO refers to a processing method in which the oldest files are deleted to make room for new files when the external storage medium becomes full. FIFO can be specified only if the external storage medium is a compact flash memory card (CF memory card), and autos save mode is selected. The default is OFF.

1.5 Data Storage Function

• FIFO can be specified for files in the specified directory. FIFO cannot be specified for read-only, system, or hidden files.

•In the following cases, the oldest files are deleted.

• When the amount of free space on the CF card after saving a data file falls below 1

MB.

•When the number of files in the directory is 1000 or more.

Note

The dates and times of manual sample files and report files are updated whenever new data is added, meaning that they are less likely to be eligible for deletion. To release this condition (only when the FIFO method is specified), manual sample files and report files are split when they exceed 100 KB in size.

• If an error occurs with the CF memory card, the error indicator appears on the icon for the external storage medium, and the memory end output relay (with the /F1 option) becomes energized. To release this condition, replace or reformat the memory medium.

Other Data that Can Be Saved

•Setup data

Setup data of the FX100 can be saved to the root directory of the external storage medium.

Explanation of Functions

• Screen image data

You can save the screen image currently displayed on the FX100’s screen as a .png format file.

Destination Directory Name

You can specify the name of the save destination directory on the external storage medium (up to 8 alphanumeric characters. Initial value is [DATA0]) (see section 7.1 ).

Computation Function

Equations can be written to computation channels by using the measured data or computed data as variables. The result of the computation can be displayed or stored. Computation is performed at the scan interval.

Computation Channels

You can use 12 computation channels, channel 31 to channel 42.

Types of Computations

In the table below, y represents the computed result. X and n generally represent the measured data and a constant.

Type Description

Four arithmetical operations Addition (+), subtraction (–), multiplication ( ×), and division

(/)

Determines the power. y = X SQR Determines the square root. ABS Determines the absolute value. LOG Determines the common logarithm. y = log10x EXP Determines the exponent. y = e Relational computation Determines <, ≤, >, ≥, =, ≠ of two elements and outputs “0”

or “1.” Logical computation Determines the AND (logical product), OR (logical sum),

XOR (exclusive logical sum) of two elements, NOT

(negation) of an element and outputs “0” or “1.” TLOG computation Determines the sum, maximum, minimum, average, and

maximum – minimum (P–P) values at specified time

intervals over the time interval. There are three timers used

to set the time interval. For detail, see page 1-45.

Data That Can Be Used in Equations

For TLOG computation, only measured and computed data can be used. For all other computations, all types of data can be used.

• Measured data

The data are specified using channel numbers in computing equations. If scaling is in effect, the scaled values are used in the computation.

• Computed data

The data are specified using channel numbers in computing equations.

• Constants (K01 to K30)

The values assigned to K01 to K30 can be used as constants. Enter the values as K01 to K30 in the equations. Range of constants (Maximum number of significant digits is 5): –9.9999E + 29 to –1.0000E – 30, 0, 1.0000E – 30 to 9.9999E + 29

• Communication input data (C01 to C12)

Data that have been specified through the communication interface (/C2, /C3, or /C7 option) can be used. Enter the data as C01 to C12 in the equations. Range of numerical values (Maximum number of significant digits is 5): –9.9999E + 29 to –1.0000E – 30, 0, 1.0000E – 30 to 9.9999E + 29

The conditions of the remote input signal can be assigned to “1” and “0,” and used in the equations. Enter the data as D01 to D08 (the number following the letter D is the remote terminal number) in the equations. The correlation between the conditions of the remote input signal and the value “1” and “0” are shown below.

• Pulse input (D06 to D08, /PM1 option)

You can count pulses using pulse input terminals. Enter the data as D06 to D08 (the number following the letter D is the pulse input terminal number) in the equations. You can use D01 to D05 for pulse inputs as well as D06 to D08.

Unit Handling

The unit corresponding to the measured/computed data in the equation is not compensated. In computations, measured and computed data are handled as values without units. For example, if the measured data from channel 01 is 20 mV and the measured data from channel 02 is 20 V, the computed result of 01 + 02 is 40.

Displaying the Computed Result

The computed result of computation channels can be displayed on each operation screen.

• Numerical display

The range of displayed values of computed data is from –9999999 to 99999999 excluding the decimal point. The decimal point position corresponds to the position of the decimal point of the upper and lower limit span of the computation channel. However, special displays are used for cases given in the table below.

• Computation data dropout

Computation data dropout occurs when the computation is not completed within the scan interval.

• The computation icon displayed in the status display section turns yellow.

• When computation data are acquired to the internal memory, the data immediately

before a computation drop out are substituted for the computation data at the time of the dropout.

• When this occurs frequently, lower the CPU load by reducing the number of

computation channels or making the scan interval longer.

Alarm

You can set up to 4 alarms on each computation channel. The alarm types are upper limit alarm (H), lower limit alarm (L), delay upper limit alarm (T), and delay lower limit alarm (t). The hysteresis is fixed to 0.

Acquiring and Saving the Computed Data

Similar to measured data, computed data can be acquired to the internal memory as display data or event data and saved to the external storage medium. For a description on data saving, see section 1.5, “

Other Functions

• Rolling average

The moving average of the computed result of the equation specified for the computation channel is determined, and the result is displayed as computed data for that channel. The sampling interval and the number of samples can be specified for each channel. The maximum sampling interval is 1 hour ; the maximum number of samples is 250. The initial setting is [Off] (do not perform moving average).

Data Storage Function

.”

Note

• While the number of samples acquired is less than the specified number of samples, the

average of acquired data is computed.

• The computation error data are not included in the rolling average computation.

• If the computed data exceeds the upper or lower limit, the data is clipped at the upper or

lower limit, and the moving average is computed. The upper and lower limit is ±100000000 excluding the decimal point. The decimal point position is the same as that of the specified value for the span lower limit.

• TLOG data

The instantaneous values of all channels (excluding measurement channels set to Skip and computation channels set to Off) can be saved at intervals specified by a timer.

Note

TLOG computed data and TLOG data are not the same. TLOG computed data refers to the result of the TLOG computation. TLOG data refers to the measured/computed data of all channels acquired at specified intervals.

1.6 Computation Function and Report Function (/M1, /PM1 Option)

TLOG Computation

Determines the sum, maximum, minimum, average, and maximum – minimum (P–P) values of the specified channel at specified time intervals. The interval is set by timers.

• Timer mode

There are two timer modes: absolute mode and relative mode.

• Absolute mode

Timer expires at times determined from the reference time and the interval. The reference time is specified by the hour (00 to 23). Example 1: Reference time: 14:00

Interval: 12 h The expiration time is set to 2:00 (2:00 AM) and 14:00 (2:00 PM).

Example 2: Reference time: 00:00

Interval: 10 min The expiration time is set to 0:00, 0:10, 0:20, ..., 23:40, and 23:50. For example, if the computation is started at 9:36, the time expiration will occur at 09:40, 09:50, 10:00, and so on.

• Relative mode

The timer is started when the computation is started. The timer is repeated at each interval. The timer is suspended while the power is lost. Example: Interval: 00:15

The timer expires every 15 minutes after the computation is started.

Explanation of Functions

• Timer to be used

Three timers are available. You can specify the timer to be used for each channel.

• Sum scale of the TLOG.SUM

In the sum computation (TLOG.SUM) of time series, data are summed over the scan interval. However, for flow values that have units /s, /min, or /h, a simple summation results in the actual value not matching the computed result, because the scan interval and the unit of the input values are different. In these cases, the unit of the data measured over the scan interval is converted to match the unit of the input values and the computation is performed. For example, if the scan interval is 2 s, and the input value is 100 m

/min, a simple summation would add 100 every 2 s resulting in 3000 after one minute. However, if the computing unit is set to /min, then 2 s/60 s is multiplied every scan interval before the value is added giving a result that has a m

/min unit. The following equations are applied. The scan interval unit is in seconds. Off ∑(measured value) /s ∑(measured value) x scan interval /min ∑(measured value) x scan interval/60 /h ∑(measured value) x scan interval/3600

The summed value is reset to “0” at every interval when “Reset” is “On,” or the summed value from the start of computation is derived when “Reset” is “Off.”

1.6 Computation Function and Report Function (/M1, /PM1 Option)

Report Function

This function is used to create hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly reports. The report data can be displayed on the screen.

Types of Reports

• Hourly report

On every hour on the hour, the average, maximum, minimum, and sum values of the specified channels are determined from an hour of data up to the current hour and stored to the internal memory.

• Daily report

At the specified time everyday, the average, maximum, minimum, and sum values of the specified channels are determined from a day of data up to the specified time and stored to the internal memory.

• Weekly report

At the specified time of the specified day every week, the average, maximum, minimum, and sum values of the specified channels are determined from a week of data up to the specified time and stored to the internal memory.

• Monthly report

At the specified time of the specified date every month, the average, maximum, minimum, and sum values of the specified channels are determined from a month of data up to the specified time and stored to the internal memory.

Report Data Display

For a display example of report data, see page 1-25.

Explanation of Functions

Combinations of Reports That Can be Created

The reports created by the FX100 can be set to “hourly only,” “daily only,” “hourly and daily,” “daily and weekly,” or “daily and monthly.”

Number of Measurement and Computation Channels That Can Be Assigned to the Report

Up to 12 channels can be assigned to one report. The report data are not created for channels that are set to Skip or those that have the computation turned Off.

About the Sum Scale

In the sum computation, data are summed over the scan interval. However, for flow values that have units /s, /min, /h, or /day a simple summation results in the actual value not matching the computed result, because the scan interval and the unit of the input values are different. In these cases, the unit of the data measured over the scan interval is converted to match the unit of the input values and the computation is performed. For example, if the scan interval is 2 s, and the input value is 100 m

/min, a simple summation would add 100 every 2 s resulting in 3000 after one minute. However, if the sum unit is set to /min, then 2 s/60 s is multiplied every scan interval before the value is added giving a result that has a m

When a failure occurs in the CPU of the FX100, the relay contact signal (1 signal) is output. The relay is energized when the CPU is normal; it is de-energized when a CPU failure occurs (de-energized on failure). Therefore, relay output is carried out even when the power is turned OFF (even during a power failure) (see figure below). You cannot change this behavior.

For Models with an External Storage Drive

• For both manual save and auto save

•When saving displayed data

When the remaining time

for saving the displayed data to the internal memory is less than a specified time (the memory alarm time), the relay is energized. The memory alarm time can be set from [1] to [100] hours or [Off].

• When saving event data When in the mode in which data is always saved to the internal memory (Free mode), and the remaining time

for saving the event data is less than the specified time (the memory alarm time), the relay is energized. When in a mode in which data starts being written to the internal memory upon an event such as an activation of an alarm (Trigger or Rotate mode), the relay is not energized (and memory end is not output).

2.1 Handling Precautions

This section describes the precautions to be taken when using the FX100 and the external storage medium. Make sure to read this section before using the FX100.

Handling Precautions for the FX100

• This instrument uses many plastic parts. When cleaning, wipe using a dry soft cloth. Do not use volatile chemicals since this might cause discoloring and deformation.

• Do not bring charged objects near the signal terminals. Doing so can lead to malfunction.

• Do not pour volatile agents on the LCD, panel keys, or other parts of the instrument nor leave them in contact with rubber or PVC products for an extended time. Doing so can lead to malfunction.

• Do not apply shock to the instrument.

• When not in use, make sure to turn OFF the power.

• If there are any symptoms of trouble such as smoke, strange odors, or strange sounds coming from the instrument, immediately turn OFF the power and disconnect power supply. Then, contact your nearest YOKOGAWA dealer or representative.

Handling Precautions for the External Storage Medium

• Use caution in the handling of the external storage medium as it is delicate.

• Write operations to floppy disks may fail in high-temperature or low-temperature environments. If you are using the FX100 in a low-temperature environment (around 10 °C or less), use the FX100 after the warm-up time (at least 30 minutes) has elapsed. If you are using the FX100 in a high-temperature environment (around 40 °C or more), it is recommended that the external storage medium be inserted into the drive when saving the data and be removed after the data storage operation is finished.

• For the general handling precautions of the external storage medium, see the instruction manual that came with that medium.

Installation and Wiring

IM 04L20A01-01E

CAUTION

• Do not eject the external storage medium while the access lamp is illuminated.

This can damage the data.

• Do not operate the floppy disk drive in a place with vibrations or shock. The disk

or drive may malfunction.

2-1

2.2 Installation

Installation Location

Install the instrument indoors, in a location that meets the following conditions. The environment of the installation location is described in

Specifications.”

• Instrumentation panel

The FX100 is designed to be installed in an instrumentation panel (panel mount type).

• Well-ventilated location

Install the instrument in a well-ventilated location to prevent the temperature inside the instrument from rising. For the panel cut dimensions when arranging multiple FX100, see the next page. Also, when other instruments are arranged on the panel, allow adequate space between them.

• Location where mechanical vibration is small

Select a location with low mechanical vibration for installation.

• Horizontal location

When installing the FX100, make sure it does not tilt to the left or right (0 to 30 degrees of backward tilt angle is allowed).

Note

• Condensation may occur if the instrument is moved to another place where the ambient temperature is higher, or if the temperature changes rapidly. In addition, measurement errors will occur when using thermocouple input. In this case, let the instrument adjust to the new environment for at least an hour before using it.

• The life of the LCD may shorten (degradation of the image quality) if the FX100 is used in a high-temperature environment. It is recommended that the backlight brightness of the LCD be set low if the FX100 is installed in a hot environment (around 40∞C or higher). For a description on the LCD brightness setting, see section 3.4, “

the LCD and the Backlight Saver Function

section 12.6, “General

Setting the Brightness of

.”

Do not install the FX100 in the following places.

• Outdoors

• In direct sunlight or near heat appliances

Select a location with the smallest temperature fluctuation as possible near room temperature (23 °C). Placing the FX100 in direct sunlight or near heat appliances can cause adverse effects.

• Where an excessive amount of soot, steam, dust, or corrosive gases are present

Soot, steam, humidity, dust, and corrosive gas can cause adverse effects on the FX100. Avoid installing the FX100 in an environment with a high level of such elements.

• Near magnetic field sources

Avoid bringing magnets or instruments that produce magnetic fields near the FX100. Using the FX100 near a strong magnetic field source can cause measurement errors.

• Where the view of the display is poor

The FX100 uses a LCD for the display. Therefore, viewing of the display from an extreme angle is difficult. Install the FX100 so that the user can easily view the display.

2-2 IM 04L20A01-01E

Installation Procedure

Use a 2 mm to 26 mm thick steel plate for the panel on which the FX100 is to be mounted.

2.2 Installation

1. Insert FX100 from the front of the panel.

2. Using the mounting brackets that came with the package, secure the FX100 to the panel as shown in the following figure.

• Two mounting brackets are used at the top and bottom or left and right of the

2.3 Measurement Input Terminal Wiring

General Precautions When Wiring the Measurement Input Signal Wires

WARNING

• To prevent the possibility of electric shock when wiring, confirm that the power supply source is turned OFF.

CAUTION

• If a large pulling force is applied to the input/output signal wires connected to the FX100, the terminal or signal wire may become damaged. To prevent this from happening, fix all the wiring cords to the rear of the installation panel.

• Do not apply a voltage exceeding the following value to the input terminals. Otherwise, damage to the unit may result.

• Maximum input voltage

Voltage range less than or equal to 200 mVDC, TC, RTD, and DI: ±10 VDC Other DC voltage ranges: ±60 VDC

• Maximum common mode voltage

±60 VDC (under the measurement category II)

• The FX100 is an installation category II product.

Installation and Wiring

Ensure that noise does not enter the measurement circuit.

• Keep the measurement circuit away from the power supply cable (power supply circuit) and ground circuit.

• It is desirable that the object under measurement is not a noise source. However, if this is not avoidable, insulate the object under measurement and the measurement circuit. In addition, ground the object under measurement.

• Shielded wires are effective against noise caused by electrostatic induction. As necessary, connect the shield to the ground terminal of the FX100 (make sure this does not lead to grounding at two points).

• Twisting the measurement circuit wires at short intervals is relatively effective against noise caused by electromagnetic induction.

• Make sure to ground the protective ground terminal through a small grounding resistance (less than or equal to 100 Ω).

When using the reference junction compensation of the FX100 through thermocouple input, take measures to stabilize the temperature at the terminal section.

• Always attach the terminal cover.

• Do not use thick wires with high heat radiations effects (cross-sectional area of 0.5

or smaller recommended).

• Keep the ambient temperature consistent. Large temperature fluctuations can occur as a result of such things as turning ON/OFF a nearby fan.

Connecting the input wires in parallel with other instruments may mutually affect the measured values. If you need to make a parallel connection:

• Turn OFF burnout.

• Ground each instrument at a single common point.

• Do not turn ON/OFF the instrument during operation. It may cause adverse affects on other instruments.

• Resistance temperature detectors cannot be connected in parallel.

General Precautions When Wiring the Input/Output Signal Wires

WARNING

• To prevent the possibility of electric shock when wiring, confirm that the power supply source is turned OFF.

• If a voltage greater than or equal to 30 VAC/60 VDC is going to be applied to the output terminals, use round crimp-on lugs with insulation covers (to prevent the wires from coming loose) for connecting the signal wires on all output terminals. In addition, use double insulated wires (withstand voltage of 2300 VAC or more) for signal wires to which a voltage greater than or equal to 30 VAC/60 VDC is to be applied and basic insulation wires (withstand voltage of 1350 VAC or more) for all other signal wires. To prevent the possibility of electric shock, attach the terminal cover after connecting the wires and keep your hands away from the terminals.

CAUTION

If a large pulling force is applied to the input/output signal wires connected to the FX100, the terminal or signal wire may become damaged. To prevent this from happening, fix all the wiring cords to the rear of the installation panel.
