Notice
When setting the specifications and functions of this controller, connect the terminals 1 and 2 for power
source first, then set them referring to “5. Setup” before performing “3. Mounting to control panel” and
“4. Wiring connection”.

Notice
• The terminal block of the KT4 Series is designed to be wired from the left side.
The lead wire must be inserted from the left side of the terminal, and fastened by the
terminal screw.
• Dotted lines show options.
• Use a thermocouple and compensating lead wire according to the sensor input specification of
this controller.
• Use the 3-wire RTD which corresponds to the input specification of this controller.
• This controller does not have built-in power switch, circuit breaker or fuse. Therefore, it is
necessary to install them in the circuit near the external controller.
(Recommended fuse: Time-lag fuse, rated voltage 250V AC, rated current 2A)
• When using a 24V AC/DC for the power source, do not confuse the polarity when it is DC.
• When using a relay contact output type, use a relay according to the capacity of the load
to protect the built-in relay contact.
• When wiring, keep input wires (thermocouple, RTD, etc.) away from AC sources or load
wires to avoid external interference.

5. Setup
Wire the power terminals only. After the power is turned on, the sensor input characters and temperature
unit are indicated on the PV display and the input range high limit value is indicated on the SV display for
approximately 3 seconds. (Table 5-1)
(If any other value is set in the scaling high limit setting, the set value is indicated on the SV display)
During this time, all outputs and the LED indicators are in OFF status.
Control will then start and the input value will be indicated on the PV display and main setting value will
be indicated on the SV display. (While control output OFF function is working, is indicated on the
PV display.)
