H5CX-@-N
42
• H5CX models with a 24-VDC/12 to 24-VDC power supply use a 
transformer-free power supply method in which the power supply 
terminals are not isolated from the signal input terminals. If a non-
isolating DC power supply is used, unwanted current paths may 
occasionally burn or destroy internal components depending on 
the wiring. Always check the wiring sufficiently before use.
• An inrush current of approx. 10 A will flow for a short time when the 
power supply is turned ON. If the capacity of the power supply is 
not sufficient, the Timer may not start. Be sure to use a power 
supply with sufficient capacity.
• Maintain voltage fluctuations in the power supply within the 
specified operating voltage range.
• When turning the power ON and OFF, input signal reception is 
possible, unstable, or impossible as shown in the diagram below. 
• To allow for the startup time of peripheral devices (sensors, etc.), 
the Timer starts timing operation between 200 to 250 ms after 
power is turned ON. For this reason, in operations where timing 
starts from power ON, the time display will actually start from 249 
ms. If the set value is 249 ms or less, the time until output turns ON 
will be a fixed value between 200 and 250. The present value 
display will start from 250 ms. (Normal operation is possible for set 
values of 250 ms or more.) In applications where a set value of 249 
ms or less is required, use start timing with signal input.
• Inrush current generated by turning ON or OFF the power supply 
may deteriorate contacts on the power supply circuit. Turn ON or 
OFF to a device with the rated current of more than 10 A.
• Make sure that all settings are appropriate for the application. 
Unexpected operation resulting in property damage or accidents 
may occur if the settings are not appropriate.
• Do not leave the Timer for long periods at a high temperature with 
output current in the ON state. Doing so may result in the 
premature deterioration of internal components (e.g., electrolytic 
capacitors).
• EEPROM is used as backup memory when the power is 
interrupted. The write life of the EEPROM is 100,000 writes. 
The EEPROM is written at the following times:
• When the power supply is turned OFF
• When switching from Timer/Twin Timer Selection Mode or 
Function Setting Mode to Run Mode
• Dispose of the product according to local ordinances as they apply.
• Attach the front panel when using the Timer. The tabs in the middle 
of each of four sides secure the front panel to the main body. To 
remove the panel, widen the four tabs and pull the panel toward 
you. To mount the panel, fit all four tabs correctly into the grooves 
on the main body.
• When conforming to EMC standards, refer to the information 
provided in this datasheet for cable selection and other conditions.
• This is a class A product. In residential areas it may cause radio 
interference, in which case the user may be required to take 
adequate measures to reduce interference.
•H5CX-A@-N/-L@-N:
Basic insulation is provided between the power supply and input 
terminals. (No insulation is provided between the power supply and 
input terminals for the H5CX-@D-N.)
Basic insulation is provided between power supply and output 
terminals, and between input and output terminals. 
•H5CX-B@-N:
No insulation is provided between the power supply and input 
terminals.
Basic insulation is provided between the power supply and output 
terminals.
• When double insulation or 
reinforced insulation is required, app
ly 
double insulation or reinforced insulation as defined in IEC 60664 
that is suitable for the maximum operating voltage with clearances 
or solid insulation.
• Connect the input and output terminals to devices that do not have 
any exposed charged parts.
