Read this Instruction Man-ual carefully and thoroughly for the correct and optimum use of this product. Kindlykeep this manual in a convenient place for quick reference.WARNING● Never use this product as a device for personnel protection.● When using devices for personnel protection, use products that meet the lawsand standards for personnel protection that apply in each region or country, suchas OSHA, ANSI and IEC.This document provides a brief summary of mounting, wiring, and other related information.For detailed information, refer to the “HG-T Series User’s Manual”.1 STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS● This product conforms to the standards and regulations below.EMC Directive2 CONTENTS OF PACKAGEController 1 pc.Instruction Manual (English / Japanese, Chinese / Korean) 1 pc. eachGeneral Information for Safety, Compliance, and Instructions (23 languages) 1 pc.3 DESCRIPTION OF PARTSFemale connectorSensor head connection cable connectorDigital display / operation coverMale connector (Slave unit only)(Note)Output 1 indicator (Orange)Circle meter (Orange, Green)Copy check mark (Orange)Digital display / SUB (Green)Digital display / MAIN (White)Status mark (White)Guide mark (White)LEFT key UP keyRIGHT keyENTER keyDOWN keyEXIT keyOutput 2 indicator (Orange)Input indicator (White)Preset indicator (Green)Preset keyOutput 3 indicator (Orange)Note: Not included on the slave unit / Wire-saving type HG-TC113.4 MOUNTINGHow to mount1. Fit the rear part of the mounting section of thecontroller on a DIN rail.2. Press down the rear part of the mounting sec-tion of the unit on the DIN rail and fit the frontpart of the mounting section to the DIN rail.2. Press 1. Insert35mm width DIN railHow to remove1. Push the controller forward.2. Lift up the front part of the controller to removeit.2. Lift1. Press forward● Connecting the sensor head connection cableAlways shut off the power before connecting a slave unit to or disconnecting a sen-sor head connection cable from this product. Risk of controller damage if you at-tempt connection with the power ON.How to mount1. Insert the sensor head connection cable intothe connector for the sensor head connectioncable on the controller.1. InsertNote: Insert the connector firmly. Risk of sensor head or controller damage if not completely connected.How to remove1. Grasp the controller, and while pressing onthe release lever on the connector of the sen-sor head connection cable, pull the cable to-ward you to disconnect.1. Pull outRelease leverNote: Do not pull by holding the cable without pressing the release lever, as this can cause cable break or connector break.5 CONNECTING SLAVE UNITS● Always shut OFF the power before connecting a slave unit or communicationunit to or disconnecting a slave unit or communication unit from the master unit.Risk of controller damage if you attempt connection with the power ON.● Insert the male connector firmly into the female connector. Risk of controllerdamage if not completely connected.● To connect units, the units must be mounted on a DIN rail. Attach end platesMS-DIN-E (optional) so as to enclose the connected units at the ends.● Up to 15 slave units can be connected per master unit. (When communicationunit consolidated: up to 14 slave units)● When the HG-T controller and HG-S controller are used in combination, connectthe slave units of the same series to the side closer to the master unit, andconnect the slave units of the different series to the far side.● When the HG-T controller and HG-S controller are used in combination, somefunctions such as computation function and copy function are restricted. For de-tailed information, refer to the “HG-T Series User’s Manual” (our website:https://panasonic.net/id/pidsx/global ).● If the HG-T controller is connected with HG-S controller manufactured prior toJanuary 2019, it will not operate properly. Be sure to connect the product toHG-S controller manufactured in or after February 2019.● When connecting slave units to a master unit, connect only NPN output types, oronly PNP output types. Dissimilar output types cannot be connected together.To mount or remove a controller, refer to “ 4 MOUNTING”.How to connect1. Mount one master unit on the DINrail.2. Remove the connector cover.3. Mount each slave unit one at a timeon the DIN rail. Remove all connec-tor covers except for the cover onthe last end slave unit.4. Slide each slave unit and connectthe female and male connectors.5. Attach end plates MS-DIN-E (op-tional) with the flat side facing in soas to enclose the connected unitsat the ends.6. Tighten the screws to fasten theend plates. Tighten to a torque of0.3N·m or less.Master unitConnector coverSlave unitSlideEnd plateMS-DIN-E (Optional)End plateMS-DIN-E (Optional)How to remove1. Loosen the screws on the endplate.2.
