3. GENERAL

The VJQ7 is a plug-in analog/pulse Transmitter that converts DC current or DC voltage signal into isolated transistor-contact pulse or contactless AC switch pulse. The VJQ7 converter features:

• Either pulse output, communication function (RS-485), or

alarm output (2 relay contacts) is selectable as Output-2.

NOTE

4.3 Mounting Using a Multi-mounting Base

For mounting using a multi-mounting base, see the Instruction Manual for VJCE (VJ Mounting Base).

4.4 Using Ducts

Wiring ducts should be installed at least 30 mm away from the top or bottom of the main unit.

4.5 I

n case of top-and-bottom close mounting

Transmitter should be mounted horizontally with its top and bottom slits being vertical. The top and bottom slits should not be covered. The area for wiring is required above and below the transmitter (the area with slant lines).

• For mounting, use M3 screws and crimp-on terminals with insulating sleeves appropriate for the wires used. Tool of the crimp-on terminals to be used should be appropriate for the crimp-on terminals.

• Mount a breaker on the external place. Mount a switch or 5A circuit breaker on the place near by the instrument, within operator’s reach. And attach the indication that it is for disconnecting the instrument.

5. INSTALLATION LOCATION

• For installation, avoid any location where the product may be subject to vibrations, corrosive gases, or large amounts of dust, or where the product is exposed to water, oil, solvents, direct sunlight, radioactive rays, or strong electric or magnetic fields.

• If there is a possibility that lightning could induce a high surge voltage on the power and signal lines, provide lightning arresters on the line between the field instrument and indoor instrument in order to protect the product. Install a dedicated arrester on the field side and another on the indoor side.

6. EXTERNAL WIRING

WARNING

Turn OFF the power supply and make sure that none of the cables are not in the hot-line state before carrying out the wiring to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

Wires are connected to the terminals of the isolator’s socket. M3 screw terminals are provided for the connection of external signals. Attach a crimp-on lug to each wire for connection to the terminals.

• Recommended cables: A nominal cross-sectional area of 0.5 mm2 or thicker for signal cables, and that of 1.25 mm2 or thicker for power cables, and shielded twisted-pair cables (AWG24) for communication wiring cables.

Fig. 6.1

● The use of inductance (L) loads such as auxiliary relays

and solenoid valves causes malfunction or relay failure; always insert a CR filter or diode for spark-removal into the line in parallel with the load. Recommended CR C: 0.5 to 1␮F against contact current 1A R: 0.5 to 1 ⍀ against contact voltage 1V

● Keep all sources of noise away from the power and sig-

nal cables. Otherwise, accuracy cannot be assured.

●Provide grounding to a grounding resistance of 100 ⍀.

The length of the grounding cable should be 20 m or less. Directly connect the lead from the ground terminal (terminal no. 8) of the isolator to the ground. Do not carry out daisy-chained inter-ground terminal wiring.

● Direct Current

●

“Overvoltage category (Installation category)” describes a

number which defines a transient overvoltage condition. It implies the regulation for impulse withstand voltage. “II” applies to electrical equipment which is supplied from the fixed installation like distribution board.

●

“Pollution degree” describes the degree to which a solid,

liquid, or gas which deteriorates dielectric strength or surface resistivity is adhering. “2” applies to normal indoor atmosphere. Normally, only non-conductive pollution occurs. Occasionally, however, temporary conductivity caused by condensation must be expected.

●Rated fuse of 125VDC, 1A is stored. However, operators

can not replace the fuse.
