5.2 Precautions while connecting
Points to be taken care of before connecting are given below. Please abide by them for safety and
reliability.
1) Source of power supply
In order to avoid mistake in operations, the power
supplied to RD9900 series graphic recorder
should be single-phase power supply with stable
voltage and without waveform distortion.
2) Away from strong electrical circuits
Avoid placing the input/output cables near or
besides strong electrical circuits like power line
etc. In case of placing it near or besides strong
electrical circuits, they should be separated by at
least 50cm.
3) Thermocouple input should be away from
source of heat
In order to reduce reference junction
compensation error, place thermocouple input,
especially the terminal part away from source of
heat (objects generating heat). Also avoid the
radiations due to direct sunlight.
4) Keep away from noises
Keep it away from the sources generating noise.
Otherwise unexpected malfunctioning may occur.
In case it is not possible to keep it away from
noise source, take the following
countermeasures.
Major
noise
sources
●Electromagnetic switch, etc.
●Power line having waveform
distortion
●Inverter
●Thyristor regulator
Counter
measures
Insert noise filters between power
supply and input/output terminals.
A CR filter is often used.
5) Use crimp style terminals
① Use crimp style terminal as connection code
terminal to avoid loose or disconnected
terminals and to prevent short circuit between
the terminals.
② Use crimp style terminals with insulating
sleeve to prevent electric shock.
6) Unused terminals
Do not use any unused terminals for relaying,
otherwise electric circuits may get damaged.

① Switch and over current protective device
Add a switch and an over current protective device
(3A) to the power supply in order to avoid an electric
shock. This instrument is not provided with
replaceable fuse.
② Turn off the power supply before connection
Be sure to turn OFF the power supply during
input/output connection and power supply, in order to
prevent electric shock.
Warning
■
Secure the connected cables properly
Secure the connected cables so that they are not hooked by a person or a substance,
otherwise the connections may be cut and that may cause an electric shock .
