Part Names and Functions

(7)Control keys

The Control Keys are for setting measurement conditions and other information. The functions assigned to the Control Keys change according to the operating mode.

Displays and Key Operations p.3-5

(8)Mode Switch

The Mode Switch selects the operating mode.

RUN mode

: Select this mode when performing regular measurement.

TEACH mode

: Select this mode when setting the judgment thresholds.

FUN mode

: Select this mode when setting measurement conditions.

(9)Threshold Selector Switch

The Threshold Selector switch selects whether to set (or display) the HIGH or LOW threshold.

(10)LOW indicator

The LOW indicator lits when the condition “measured value < LOW threshold” is satisfied.

(11)PASS indicator

The PASS indicator lits when the condition “LOW threshold measured value HIGH threshold” is satisfied.

(12)HIGH indicator

The HIGH indicator lits when the condition “HIGH threshold < measured value” is satisfied.

(13)Coupler

This connector is for connecting the Multi-Controller to the Sensor Controller.

(14)RS-232C connector

Connect the RS-232 cable when you are connecting the Multi-Controller to a personal computer that does not have a USB port.

(15)Voltage/Current switch

The Voltage/Current switch selects between voltage output and current output.

Before operating this switch, make sure that the Multi-Controller is turned OFF. Also, make sure that the load connected to “linear output wire (co-axial) — linear GND wire” satisfies the rating of the set state (voltage or current output) before turning the Multi-Controller ON. Otherwise, the Multi-Controller may be damaged.
