different types of alarm. These are indicated by the letter "L" and "H".
• The default alarm type is "2"
If the output relays are used past their life expectancy,
contact fusing or burning may occasionally occur. Always
consider the application conditions and use the output relays
within their rated load and electrical life expectancy. The life
expectancy of output relays varies considerably with the
output load and switching conditions.
The maximum terminal temperature is 75°C. Use wires with a
heat resistance of 75°C min to wire the terminals.
Set the parameters of the product so that they are suitable for
the system being controlled. If they are not suitable,
unexpected operation may occasionally result in property
damage or accidents.
A malfunction in the Digital Controller may occasionally make
control operations impossible or prevent alarm outputs,
resulting in property damage. To maintain safety in the event
of malfunction of the Digital Controller, take appropriate
safety measures, such as installing a monitoring device on a
separate line.
Precautions for Safe Use
Be sure to observe the following precautions to prevent operation
failure, malfunction, or adverse affects on the performance and
functions of the product. Not doing so may occasionally result in
unexpected events. Use the product within specifications.
(1) The product is designed for indoor use only. Do not use the
product outdoors. Do not use or store the product in any of the
following locations.
• Places directly subject to heat radiated from heating equipment.
• Places subject to splashing liquid or oil atmosphere.
• Places subject to direct sunlight.
• Places subject to intense temperature change.
• Places subject to icing and condensation.
• Places subject to vibration and large shocks.
• Places subject to dust or corrosive gas (in particular, sulfide gas
and ammonia gas).
(2) Use and store the Digital Controller within the rated ambient
temperature and humidity. Provide forced-cooling if required.
(3) To allow heat to escape, do not block the area around the
product. Do not block the ventilation holes on the product.
(4) Be sure to wire properly with correct signal name and polarity of
terminals.
(5) For the wiring materials for the E5D-H, use stranded or solid
copper wires with a cross-sectional area of 0.25 to 1.5 mm
(equivalent to AWG24 to AWG16). The stripping length is 10 mm
if ferrules are used and 8 mm if ferrules are not used. Connect
only one wire to each terminal. If the cross-sectional area of the
wiring is small, it may come out of the terminal block or there may
be poor contact, and if the cross-sectional area is large, it may not
come out of the terminal block.
(6) Do not wire the terminals which are not used.
(7) Allow as much space as possible between the controller and
devices that generate a powerful high- frequency or surge.
Separate the high-voltage or large-current power lines from other
lines, and avoid parallel or common wiring with the power lines
when you are wiring to the terminals.
(8) Use the Digital Controller within the rated load and power supply.

wiring and cycle the power supply.
(9) Make sure that the rated voltage is attained within two seconds of
turning ON the power using a switch or relay contact. If the
voltage is applied gradually, the power may not be reset or output
malfunctions may occur.
(10) Make sure that the Digital Controller has 30 minutes or more to
warm up after turning ON the power before starting actual control
operations to ensure the correct temperature display.
(11) During tuning, ensure that the power for the load (e.g., heater) is
ON. Otherwise, the correct tuning result cannot be calculated and
optimal control will not be possible. Tuning is used in the following
functions:
AT, adaptive control, automatic filter adjustment, water-cooling
output adjustment, and D-AT.
(12) A switch or circuit breaker should be provided close to this unit.
The switch or circuit breaker should be within easy reach of the
operator, and must be marked as a disconnecting means for this
unit.
(13) Wipe off any dirt from the Digital Controller with a soft dry cloth.
Never use thinners, benzine, alcohol, or any cleaners that contain
these or other organic solvents. Deformation or discoloration may
occur.
(14) Design system (control panel, etc) considering the 2 second of
delay that the controller's output to be set after power ON.
(15) The output will turn OFF when you move to the Initial Setting
Level. Take this into consideration when performing control.
(16) The number of non-volatile memory write operations is limited.
Therefore, use RAM write mode when frequently overwriting data
during communications or other operations.
(17) When disassembling the Digital Controller for disposal, use
suitable tools.
(18) Do not exceed the communications distance that is given in the
specifications and use the specified communications cable. Refer
to the E5D-H Digital Controllers User's Manual (Cat. No. H239)
for the communications distance and cable specifications.
(19) Do not turn the power supply to the Digital Controller ON or OFF
while the USB-Serial Conversion Cable is connected. The Digital
Controller may malfunction.
(20) For the power supply voltage input, use a commercial power
supply with an AC input. Do not use the output from an inverter as
the power supply. Depending on the output characteristics of the
inverter, temperature increases in the product may cause smoke
or fire damage even if the product has a specified output
frequency of 50/60 Hz.
(21) When using adaptive control, turn ON power for the load at the
same time as or before supplying power to the Digital Controller.
(22) Observe the following precautions when you wire the Digital
Controller.
2
• Do not wire anything to the release holes.
• When you insert a flat-blade screwdriver into a release hole on
the terminal block, do not tilt or twist the screwdriver. The
terminal block may be damaged.
• Insert a flat-blade screwdriver into the release holes at an
angle. The terminal block may be damaged if you insert the
screwdriver straight in.
• Do not allow the flat-blade screwdriver to fall out while it is
inserted into a release hole.
• Do not bend a wire past its natural bending radius or pull on it
with excessive force. Doing so may cause the wire to break.
• Do not use crossover wiring except for the input power supply
and communications.
(23) Do not use the Digital Controller if the front sheet is peeling.

If a wire is difficult to connect because it is too
thin, use a flat-blade screwdriver in the same
way as when connecting stranded wire.
● Connecting Stranded Wires
OFF
OFF
Use the following procedure to connect the wires to the
terminal block.
1. Hold a flat-blade screwdriver at an angle and insert it
into the release hole.
The angle should be between 10° and 15°. If the
flat-blade screwdriver is inserted correctly, you will feel
the spring in the release hole.
2. With the screwdriver still inserted into the release hole,
insert the wire into the terminal hole until it strikes the
terminal block.
3. Remove the flat-blade screwdriver from the release
hole.
● Checking Connections
• After the insertion, pull gently on the wire to make sure that it will not come off and the
wire is securely fastened to the terminal block.
• If you use a ferrule with a conductor length of 10 mm, part of the conductor may be
visible after the ferrule is inserted into the terminal block, but the product insulation
distance will still be satisfied.
2. Removing Wires from Push-In Plus
Terminal Block
Use the following procedure to remove wires from the
terminal block.
The same method is used to remove stranded wires, solid
wires, and ferrules.
1. Hold a flat-blade screwdriver at an angle and insert it
into the release hole.
2. With the screwdriver still inserted into the release hole,
remove the wire from the terminal insertion hole.
3. Remove the flat-blade screwdriver from the release
hole.
3. Recommended Tools
● Recommended Flat-blade Screwdriver
Use a flat-blade screwdriver to connect and remove wires.
