E5C-T Digital Temperature Controllers Programmable Type Communications Manual (H186)
• Design the system (e.g., control panel) considering the 2 seconds of delay in setting the Digital
Controller’s output after the power supply is turned ON.
• The output will turn OFF when you move to the initial setting level. Take this into consideration when
performing control.
• The number of non-volatile memory write operations is limited. Therefore, use RAM write mode when
frequently overwriting data, e.g., through communications.
• Use suitable tools when taking the Digital Controller apart for disposal. Sharp parts inside the Digital
Controller may cause injury.
• Do not connect cables to both the front-panel Setup Tool port and the top-panel Setup Tool port at the
same time. Damage or malfunction may occur.
• Do not exceed the communications distance that is given in the specifications and use the specified
communications cable. Refer to the E5
@
C-T Digital Temperature Controllers User’s Manual (Cat. No.
H185) for the communications distance and cable specifications.
• 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.
• Do not bend the communications cables past their natural bending radius. Do not pull on the
communications cables.
