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
VJU7. The terminals for external connections are of M3 screws.
Use crimp-on lugs for connections to the terminals.
•Be sure to use a compensating lead wire for thermocouple input.
Recommended cables: A nominal cross-sectional area
of 0.5 mm2 or thicker for output signal cable, a nominal
cross-sectional area of 1.25 mm2 or thicker for power
cable and shielded twisted-pair cable (AWG24) for communication cable.

5.3 Mounting Using a Multi-mounting Base
For mounting using a multi-mounting base, see the user’s
manual for VJCE (VJ Mounting Base).
5.4 Using a Duct
Wiring duct should be installed at least 30 mm away from
the top and bottom faces of the main unit.
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 mF with respect to a contact
current of 1 A
Resistor: 0.5 to 1 W 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 daisychained inter-ground terminal wiring.

● HIGH: For RTD input, for a span of 130 Ω or more in an
input range of 0 to 520 Ω based on the reference
resistane table.
● MIDDLE: For thermocouple or mV input, for a span of
27.5 mV or more in an input range of 10 to 100 mV converted into thermoelectromotive force. For RTD input, for

Set the following parameters when the alarm output is specified for the output 2.
9.3.1 Alarm Setpoint
Set the alarm-1 setpoint and alarm-2 setpoint numerically in
E01: SET POINT1 and E02: SET POINT2 for thermocouple
input and RTD input or in E03: SET POINT1 and E04: SET
POINT2 for mV input. Set them in [°C] for temperature input
or in [%] for mV input.
● Setting range: 0 to 100% of input range

RTD input), 0.1% (for mV input)
9.3.2 Direction of Alarm Action
Select the direction of alarm-1 action and that of alarm-2 action from among HIGH ALM (high-limit alarm) and LOW ALM
(low-limit alarm) in E05: ALM1 ACTION and E06: ALM2 ACTION.

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).
Set them in [°C] for temperature input or in [%] for mV input.

in E11: ON DELAY1 and E12: ON DELAY2. Set the alarm-1
OFF delay and alarm-2 OFF delay numerically in E13: OFF
DELAY1 and E14: OFF DELAY2.
An alarm ON delay is a delay time from the establishment of
alarm conditions to its output; an alarm OFF delay is a delay
time from the establishment of return-to-normal conditions to
its output.
● Setting range: 0 to 999 seconds
● Setting resolution:
is to be added to the 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. Furthermore, 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.

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
● Digital Multimeter (Yokogawa’s 7561 or equivalent): 1
● Precision resistor of 250 Ω ±0.01%, 1 W: 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.
First adjust the output-1 signal and then the output-2 signal.
(2) Produce the input signal equivalent to 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% of the input span from the calibrator. Check that the converter’s
output signals show voltages corresponding to 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% within the rated accuracy range.
If the output signal is out of the rated accuracy range, adjust the output signal level using the VJ77 PC-based Parameters Setting Tool or JHT200 Handy Terminal.
Refer to the user’s manual for VJ77 PC-based Parameters Setting Tool (IM 77J01J77-01E) or for JHT200 Handy Terminal (IM
JF81-02E).
