5.3 Using a Duct
Wiring duct should be installed at least 30 mm away from
the top and bottom faces of the main unit.
6. INSTALLATION LOCATIONS
•
Avoid the following environments for installation locations:
Areas with vibrations, corrosive gases, dust, water, oil,
solvents, direct sunlight, radiation, a strong electric field,
and/or a strong magnetic field.
•If there is any risk of a surge being induced into the
power line and/or signal lines due to lightning or other
factors, a dedicated lightning arrester should be used as
protection for both the product and a field-installed device.
7. EXTERNAL WIRING
WARNING
To avoid the risk of an electric shock, turn off the
power supply and use a tester or similar device to
ensure that no power is supplied to a cable to be
connected, before carring out wiring work.
Wiring should be connected to the terminals on the socket of
the VJTK. The terminals for external connections are of M3
screws. Use crimp-on lugs for connections to the terminals.
•It is recommended that signal wires have a nominal crosssectional area of 0.5 mm2 or thicker, while the power cable
has a nominal cross-sectional area of 1.25 mm2 or thicker.

IMPORTANT
●
Connect the RJC sensor at the correct position
as shown above. Otherwise tempratures cannot
be measured carrectly.
●
Conect the RJC sensor so that it overlaps the input signal line.
●
Handle the RJC sensor lead wire care to prevent
disconnection.
●
Use of the product ignoring the specifications
may cause overheating or damage. Before turning on the power, ensure the following:
(a)Power supply voltage and input signal value
applied to the product should meet the required
specifications.
(b)The external wiring to the terminals and wiring to
ground are as specifications.
●
Do not operate the product in the presence of
flammable or explosive gases or vapors. To do
so is highly dangerous.
●
The product is sensitive to static electricity; exercise care in operating it. Before you operate
the product, touch a nearby metal part to discharge static electricity.
●
If an inductance (L) load such as auxiliary relays
or solenoid valves is used, always insert a spark
killer for diminishing sparks, such as a CR filter
or a diode in parallel with the inductance load.
Otherwise a malfunction or relay failure may occur. Refer to the following guidelines for a capacitor and resistor:
Capacitor : 0.5 to 1 µF with respect to a contact
current of 1 A
Resistor: 0.5 to 1 Ω with respect to a contact
voltage of 1 V
●
The power line and input/output signal lines
should be installed away from noise-generating
sources. Otherwise accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
●
The grounding resistance must be 100 W (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 (terminal no. 8) of the
product to the ground. Do not carry out daisy
chained inter-ground terminal wiring.

9.1.2 Input Hard Range
Select the input hard range from among AUTO, MIDDLE
and LOW in D17: SELECT RANGE.
● AUTO: Sets the most appropriate input hard range automatically with respect to the input range to be set.
● MIDDLE: For a span of 27.5 mV or more in an input
range of -10 to +100 mV DC converted into

9.2.3 Hysteresis
Set the alarm-1 and alarm-2 hysteresis in E07: HYSTERESIS1 and E08: HYSTERESIS2. Hysteresis is a value
added to the alarm setpoint in order for an alarm status to be
released (to normal) after the alarm status has been activated. The alarm status will be released in the following conditions, depending on the direction of alarm action.
*When HIGH ALM (high-limit alarm) is set: Alarm is re-
leased when input signal < (alarm setpoint - hysteresis).
*When LOW ALM (low-limit alarm) is set: Alarm is re-
leased when input signal > (alarm setpoint + hysteresis).
● Setting range: 0 to 100% of input range
● Setting resolution: 0.1°C
9.2.4 Alarm ON Delay and Alarm OFF Delay
Set the alarm-1 and alarm-2 ON delays in E11: ON DELAY1
and E12: ON DELAY2 and then alarm-1 and alarm-2 OFF
● Setting range: 0 to 999 seconds
● Setting resolution:
is to be added to set time to prevent wrong operation.)
For example, when an alarm ON delay is set to 1 second,
alarm output is generated if alarm status continues for 1 second or more after the input value exceeds the alarm
setpoint. Further, when an alarm OFF delay is set to 2 seconds, alarm output is released if normal condition continues
for 2 seconds or more after the input value has returned to
normal from the alarm status.
9.2.5 Direction of Relay Action
Select the direction of relay energizing in alarm-1 normal
condition and alarm-2 normal condition from among NRM

NRM ENERGIZED (energized under normal condition) in
E15: RL1 ACTION and E16: RL2 ACTION.
delays in E13: OFF DELAY1 and E14: OFF DELAY2.
An alarm ON delay is the condition monitoring time from the
establishment of alarm conditions to its output; an alarm OFF
delay is the condition monitoring time from the establishment
of return-to-normal conditions to its output.

12. MAINTENANCE
The product enters the operable status as soon as the power is turned on, but requires 10 to 15 minutes of warm-up to meet the performance requirements.
12.1 Calibration Apparatus
● Calibrator (Yokogawa Meters & Instruments’ CA71 or equivalent): 1
● Temperature sensor (Yokogawa Meters & Instruments’ B9108WA or equivalent): 1
● Setting tool for adjustment (Refer to “8.2 Connecting the Setting Tools” in this manual.)
12.2 Calibration Procedure
(1) Connect the instruments as shown in Fig.12.1 and Fig. 8.2.
(2) Produce the input signal equivalent to 0% of the input range from the calibrator to the product. Then, read the input value of
Display items, “A01: INPUT1” using the VJ77 or JHT200 and check that the input value is within the rated accuracy range.
Take the same procedure for the input signal equivalent to 25, 50, 75 and 100% of the input range and check that the input values are within the rated accuracy range.
For alarm output, check the relay action by the alarm indicator lamp or resistance of output terminals.
If the input values are out of the rated accuracy range, adjust the input signal level referring to the user’s manual for VJ77 PCbased Parameters Setting Tool (IM 77J01J77-01E) or for JHT200 Handy Terminal (IM JF81-02E).
