4. MOUNTING METHODS
4.1 Wall Mounting
Loosen the main unit-fixing screw of the computing unit to disconnect the main unit from the socket. Next, anchor the socket
onto the wall with screws. Then, plug the main unit into the socket
and secure the main unit with the main unit-fixing screw.

3. GENERAL
This Universal Computing Unit, which belongs to the JUXTA series
of signal conditioners, receives DC current or voltage signals and
converts them to pairs of isolated DC voltage or current signals.
• Output-2 signal is selectable from a DC voltage signal, DC
current signal, communication function (RS-485), and alarm
output (two relay contacts).
Keep this manual in a safe place.

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.

● 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, opera-
tors can not replace the fuse.
