3. WIRING
3.1 Wiring Cautions
For thermocouple input, use the appropriate compensation wire.
For RTD input, use low resistance lead wire with no difference in resistance between the three lead wires.
To avoid noise induction, keep input signal wire away from instrument power line, load lines and power lines of other electric equipment.
For the current input specification, an external resistor (250 0.02 %, 0.25 W or more, 10 ppm/C) must be connected between the input
terminals. For external resistor (shunt resistor), use the KD100-55: sold separately (RKC product). If this resistor is installed, close horizontal
mounting is not possible.
Signal connected to Voltage input and Current input shall be low voltage defined as SELV circuit per IEC 60950-1.
If there is electrical noise in the vicinity of the instrument that could affect operation, use a noise filter.
- Shorten the distance between the twisted power supply wire pitches
to achieve the most effective noise reduction. Instrument power Twist these leadwires
- Always install the noise filter on a grounded panel. Minimize the wiring IN OUT Instrument
distance between the noise filter output and the instrument power Noise filter power
terminals
supply terminals to achieve the most effective noise reduction. Shorten distance between Minimize
- Do not connect fuses or switches to the noise filter output wiring as pitches distance
this will reduce the effectiveness of the noise filter.
Allow approximately 4 seconds for contact output when the instrument is turned on. Use a delay relay when the output line is used for an
external interlock circuit.
Power supply wiring must be twisted and have a low voltage drop.
This instrument with 24 V power supply is not provided with an overcurrent protection device.
For safety install an overcurrent protection device (such as fuse) with adequate breaking capacity close to the instrument.
- Fuse type: Time-lag fuse (Approved fuse according IEC60127-2 and/or UL248-14)
- Fuse rating: Rated current: 0.5 A
For an instrument with 24 V power supply input, supply power from "SELV" circuit defined as IEC 60950-1.
A suitable power supply should be considered in end-use equipment. The power supply must be in compliance with a limited-energy circuits
(maximum available current of 8 A).
Use the solderless terminal appropriate to the screw size. 5.5 MAX
- Screw size: M3 x 6
3.2 MIN
- Recommended tightening torque: 0.4 Nxm [4 kgfxcm]
- Specified solderless terminals: With isolation
2
- Applicable wire: Solid/twisted wire of 0.25 to 1.65 mm
Make sure that during field wiring parts of conductors can not come into contact with adjacent conductive parts. 4 mm

z All mounting and wiring must be completed before the power is turned on. If the input signal wiring is disconnected or
short-circuited (RTD input only), the instrument determines that burnout has occurred.

Downscale Thermocouple input (specify when ordering), RTD input (when short-circuited), Voltage input (1 to 5 V DC),

zero value).
* Z-1010 specification
Outputs:
Control output: OFF (Heat/Cool control: the control output on both heat-side and cool-side is turned off)
Alarm output: Both of the Alarm 1 and Alarm 2 outputs of this instrument are turned on when burnout occurs regardless of any of
the following actions taken (High alarm, low alarm, etc.). In addition, when used for any purposes other than these
alarms (event, etc.), specify the Z-124 specification (not to be forcibly turned on).
z A power failure of 20 ms or less will not affect the control action. When a power failure of more than 20 ms occurs, the
instrument assumes that the power has been turned off. When power returns, the controller will retain the conditions that
existed prior to shut down.
z The alarm hold action is activated when not only the power is turned on, but also the SV is changed.

Parameters in the Initialization mode should be set according to the application before setting any parameter
related to operation. Once the Parameters in the Initialization mode are set correctly, no further changes need to
be made to parameters for the same application under normal conditions. If they are changed unnecessarily, it
may result in malfunction or failure of the instrument. RKC will not bear any responsibility for malfunction or
