●
Do not mount any signal conditioners other than the above. It may result in a communication failure
or a malfunction. Be sure to confirm the model and suffix codes of each signal conditioner when
mounting it.
●
The “ ❐” in Model and suffix codes differs depending on the models of signal conditioner. Refer to the
general specifications for respective signal conditioners.

so as not to interfere wiring, piping and
maintenance area.
(3) In case storing in cabinet, air cooling is
compulsorily required to prevent from raise of
temperature.
(4) Do not install it on the heating materials.
(5) In case of installing the VJCE-01A one above
another to up and down direction, take
installation space as shown in the figure on
the right. (78 mm for rack mounting, 128 mm
for wall mounting)

3.3Installation
3.3.1Installation of VJCE-01A
Use four (4) M5 screws for installation.
3.3.2Installation of signal conditioners
Connect the pin on the back of the signal conditioner to the
VJCE-01A connector as shown in the figure on the right. Then
tighten the fixing screw on the front of the signal conditioner.
NOTE
Insert and pull out the signal conditioner vertically
to VJCE. Inserting and pulling it out slantwise may
make the pin bent and cause a failure such as a
bad contact.
IMPORTANT
Only one VJET can be mounted in slot 16 of VJCE01A. Do not mount it in other slots.
4.1Field Side Wiring and Wiring of Power Supply and Ground
Flexible twisted cable and durable round crimp-on terminals of good contact are recommended to use.

4.2Field Side Input/Output Terminals, Piping and System Side Wiring
Assignment of Input/Output Terminals on and after page 7 shows relation between VJCE-01A field side input/output
terminals and signal conditioner input /output signal at the terminals. Field side input/output terminals are M3.5
screws.
Connect input air pressure signal of VJF1 to connecting hole of front face of signal conditioner directly.
Connect power and ground cables to power terminals of VJCE-01A. Power would internally be distributed to respective signal conditioners.
WARNING
It is recommended that CT protector (CTG-5) be attached to the current input terminals connected to the
secondary side of the CT when mouning VJB1 (CT transmitter) on VJCE-01A. Since a high potential
develops over the secondary side, the CT may burn and break if you unplug the VJB1 from the VJCE01A while the VJB1 is turned on and it has no CT protector.
IMPORTANT
●
Ensure the followings before turning on the power. Use of signal conditioners of VJ series ignoring
the specifications may cause overheating or damage to VJCE-01A and signal conditioners.
·Power supply voltage and input signal value applied to VJCE-01A and signal conditioners should
meet the required specifications.
·The external wiring to the terminals is as specifications.
●
Do not operate the product in the presece of flammable or explosive gases or vapors. To do so is
highly dangerous.
●
Many semi-conductor integrated circuit parts are used for signal conditioners. Take care of static
electricity trouble at the maintenance or change of setting for the signal conditioners.
●
The grounding resistance must be 100 Ω (JIS Class D grounding). The length and thickness of the
grounding cable should be as short and thick as possible. Directly connect the lead from the ground
terminal of the product to the ground. Do not carry out daisy-chained inter-ground terminal wiring.
ASSIGNMENT OF INPUT/OUTPUT TERMINALS AND POWER SUPPLY TERMINALS
Only the signal conditioners of single-output type and the signal conditioners of dual-output type with output-2 for
communication (RS-485) can be mounted. Be sure to check not only the model but also suffix codes of the signal
conditioner to be mounted. (Refer to List of Mountable Models on page 2.)

CAUTION
Ensure that the power supply voltage for VJCE-01A matches that for the signal conditioner to be
mounted on VJCE-01A. Supply of different power supply voltage may damage VJCE-01A and signal
conditioners.
6. CALIBRATION
Refer to the User’s Manual of respective signal conditioners for how to calibrate and the equipment required for calibration.
6.1Items to Check before Power on
● Supply power rating is 12 to 36 V DC or 85 to 246 V AC / DC.
● Wiring of signal cables
● Installation, ambient temperature, humidity, dust and vibration
Please power on after checking the above items.
The VJCE-01A would be in operational status upon power on. However, 10 to 15 minutes are required to satisfy its
specifications and performance
