Non-voltage input type For both panel mounting and PC board mounting types 1) Never apply voltage to the non-voltage input type. This will damage the internal elements. Also, since there is a possibility of erroneous operation, do not connect in parallel the inputs of a non-voltage input type and another counter from a single input signal. 2) Since the current flow is very small from the count input and reset input terminals (1 and 3 on the panel mounting type and terminals e to t and S to F on the PC board mounting type) please use relays and switches with high contact reliability. 3) When inputting with an open collector of a transistor, use a transistor for small signals in which ICBO is 1 µA or less and always input with no voltage. 4) When wiring, try to keep all the input lines to the count and reset inputs as short as possible and avoid running them together with high voltage and power transmission lines or in a power conduit. Also, malfunctions might occur if the floating capacitance of these wires exceeds 500 pF (10 m 32.808 ft. for parallel wires of 2 mm2). When using 2 kHz mode, use with a wiring floating capacitance of 120 pF (3 m 9.843 ft. for parallel wires of 2 mm2). In particular, when using shielded wiring, be careful of the capacitance between wires. PC board mounting type 1) For external power supply use manganese dioxide or lithium batteries (CR type: 3V). 2) Always reset after external power is applied and confirm that the display reads “0”. 3) Make the wiring from the battery to the counter unit as short as absolutely possible. Also, be careful of polarity. 4) Calculate battery life with the following formula. t = A/I t: battery life [h] I: LC2H current consumption [mA] A: battery capacity until minimum operation voltage is reached [mAh] 5) Hand solder to the lead terminal. Do not dip solder. With the tip of the soldering iron at 300°C 572°F perform soldering within 3 seconds (for 30 to 60 W soldering iron). 2. Voltage input type 1) Be aware that applying more than 30 V DC to count input terminals 1 and 2, and reset input terminals 3 and 4 will cause damage to the internal elements. 2) For external resetting use H level (application of 4.5 to 30 V DC) between reset terminals 3 and 4 of the rear terminals. In this case, connect + to terminal 3 and – to terminal 4. This is the valid polarity; therefore, the counter will not work if reversed. 3) When wiring, try to keep all the input lines to the count and reset inputs as short as possible and avoid running them together with high voltage and power transmission lines or in a power conduit. Also, malfunctions might occur if the floating capacitance of these wires exceeds 500 pF (10 m 32.808 ft. for parallel wires of 2 mm2). 3. Free voltage input type 1) Use count input terminals 1 and 2 for free voltage input and reset terminals 3 and 4 for non-voltage input. 2) Be aware that the application of voltage that exceeds the voltage range of the H level to the count input terminal, and the application of voltage to the reset input terminal, can cause damage to the internal elements. 3) Since the current flow is very small from reset input terminal 3, please use relays and switches with high contact reliability. 4) When inputting a reset with an open collector of a transistor, use a transistor for small signals in which ICBO is 1 µA or less and always input with no voltage. 5) To reset externally, short reset input terminals 3 and 4 on the rear. 6) Input uses a high impedance circuit; therefore, erroneous operation may occur if the influence of induction voltage is present. If you plan to use wiring for the input signal that is 10 m or longer (wire capacitance 120 pF/m at normal temperature), we recommend the use of a CR filter or the connection of a bleeder resistor. 4.

Environment for use 1) Ambient conditions • Overvoltage category II, pollution level 2 • Indoor use • Acceptable temperature and humidity range: –10 to +55°C, 35 to 85%RH (with no condensation at 20°C) • Under 2000 m elevation 2) Use the main unit in a location that matches the following conditions. • There is minimal dust and no corrosive gas. • There is no combustible or explosive gas. • There is no mechanical vibration or impacts. • There is no exposure to direct sunlight. • Located away from large-volume electromagnetic switches and power lines with large electrical currents. 3) Connect a breaker that conforms to EN60947-1 or EN60947-3 to the voltage input section. 4) Applied voltage should be protected with an overcurrent protection device (example: T 1A, 250 V AC time lag fuse) that conforms to the EN/IEC standards. (Free voltage input type) Tr 3 4 or Notes) 1. Use the following as a guide for choosing transistors used for input (Tr). Leakage current < 1 µA 2. Use as small a diode (D) as possible in the forward voltage so that the voltage between terminals 3 and 4 during reset input meets the standard value (0.5 V). ( At IF = 20 µA, forward voltage 0.1 and higher.) 105 CTi Automation - Phone: 800.894.0412 - Fax: 208.368.0415 - Web: www.ctiautomation.net - Email: info@ctiautomation.net LC2H LC2H Counter PRESET COUNTER Features 1.

It is possible to change the preset value even during counting. However, be aware of the following points. 1) If the preset value is changed to less than the count value with counting set to the addition direction, counting will continue until it reaches full scale, returns to zero, and then reaches the new preset value. If the preset value is changed to a value above the count value, counting will continue until the count value reaches the new preset value. 2) Suppose that the counter is preset to count down. Whether a preset count down value is smaller or larger than the count value, the counter counts down to “0 (zero)”. 2. If the preset value is changed to “0”, the counter will not complete countup. It starts counting up when the counting value comes to “0 (zero)” again. 1) Addition (up-count) input when counting is set to the addition direction, counting will continue until full scale is reached, return to zero, and then complete count-up. 2) Subtraction (down-count) input when counting is set to the subtraction direction, counting will continue until full scale “–9999999” is reached, and then the display will change to “ ”.

Input and output connection 1) Input connection (1) Contact input Use highly reliable metal plated contacts. Since the contact’s bounce time leads directly to error in the count value, use contacts with as short a bounce time as possible. In general, select input to have a maximum counting speed of 30 Hz. Count input 1 2 5 6 3 4 Reset input (2) Non-contact input (Transistor input) Connect with an open collector. Use transistors whose characteristics satisfy the criteria given below. VCEO = Min. 20 V IC = Min. 20 mA ICBO = Max. 6 µA Also, use transistors with a residual voltage of less than 2 V when the transistor is on. * The short-circuit impedance should be less than 1 kΩ. (When the impedance is 0 Ω, the current coming from the count input terminal is approximately 5 mA and from the reset input terminal is approximately 1.5 mA.) Also, the open-circuit impedance should be more than 100 kΩ. (3) Input wiring When wiring, use shielded wires or metallic wire tubes, and keep the wire lengths as short as possible. 2) Output connection Since the transistor output of counter is insulated from the internal circuitry by a photo-coupler, it can be used as an NPN output or PNP (equal value) output. As NPN output Load 1 2 5 6 3 Load’s power supply 4 As PNP output Count input 1 2 5 6 3 4 Reset input 1 2 5 6 3 Load’s power supply 4 Load 2.

Terminal connection 1) When wiring the terminals, refer to the terminal layout and wiring diagrams and be sure to perform the wiring properly without errors. An external power supply is required in order to run the main unit. Power should be applied between 5 terminals (1) and (2). Terminal (1) acts 1 2 3 4 6 as the positive connection and terminal (2) as the negative. Operating voltage 2) After turning the counter off, make sure that any resulting induced voltage or residual voltage is not applied to power supply terminals (1) through (2). (If the power supply wire is wired parallel to the high voltage wire or power wire, an induced voltage may be generated at the power supply terminal.) 3) Have the power supply voltage pass through a switch or relay so that it is applied at one time. 112 CTi Automation - Phone: 800.894.0412 - Fax: 208.368.0415 - Web: www.ctiautomation.net - Email: info@ctiautomation.net LC2H PRECAUTIONS IN USING THE LC2H SERIES Cautions for use 1.

Electro Preset Counter The counter is equipped with semiconductor counting circuitry. When the counter counts up to a preset number, its output circuit sends a signal. 2. Electro Magnetic Counter A magnet is magnetized and demagnetized to drive the dial and count up numbers. RATING 1. Rated Operating Voltage The voltage is applied to start the counter. COUNTINGS 1. Pulse This is a voltage or current signal sent at intermittent time intervals. 2. Count Pulses are used to count up and down. 3. Miss-count This happens if the number of pulses does not correspond to the number of counts. 8. Recount When counting is up, the counter display resets to zero and counting restarts. 9. Down Count Numbers are counted down one by one from a preset number. 10. Up Count Numbers are counted up one by one from zero. 11. Up/Down Count Numbers are counted up or down depending on input conditions. 12. Rejection (gate) Input This signal is used to keep the counter from counting. OUTPUTS 1. Count Up When a preset number is reached, the output circuit sends a signal. 2. Retained Output The output is held until a reset signal is sent. 4. Hertz This unit of counting speed is used to give the number of counts per one second. 3. One Shot Output This output has a specified width of time. 5. Make Ratio This is the ratio of ON time (Ta) to OFF time (Tb). 1. Reset The counting process, display and output sections are all brought back to the initial status. Ta Tb Time 6. Maximum Counting Speed Suppose that the counter is operated with an input pulse of a make ratio of 1. The highest counting speed is the peak of a range in which the output circuit can send signals without mis-counting. The speed is expressed in units of Hz (cps: counts per a second). 5. Automatic Reset When counting is up, internal circuitry is activated to automatically reset the counter. 6. Reset Signal Width This is the time during which the power is off so as to reset the counter or during which an external (manual) reset signal is sent. 7. Reset time This is the time from the moment a reset signal is sent to the instant the counter is ready to start counting again. OTHERS 1. Function of Memorizing Condition Counting data up until the operating voltage is turned off can be stored in memory. When the power is reactivated, the data can be reproduced. 2. Anti-surge The strength against power voltage surge is determined by applying a singlepole full-wave voltage (several hundred to several thousand volt wave for ±(1.2 × 50) µs) acrosss the control power terminals. Surge waveform [Single-pole full-wave voltage for ±(1.2 × 50) µs] RESETTINGS 2. Power off Reset The operating voltage is turned off to reset the counter. 3. Manual Reset The counter is manually reset. Surge voltage (%) TYPES OF COUNTERS 100 90 Peak value 50 30 0 0 1.2 50 Time (µs) 3. Noise Immunity This is the strength against external noise. Relay noise tests, noise simulator tests, etc. are conducted. 4. Remote Reset A signal is sent from a remote point to the reset terminal so as to reset the counter. 7. Over Count Counting continues beyond a preset number.

Protective circuit for counter contact In the circuit that switches an inductive load, a contact failure may occur at a contact point due to surge or inrush current resulting from that switching. Therefore, it is recommended that the following protective circuit be used to protect the contact point. Application AC DC (see note.) Available r c Diode Available Available If the load is a relay or solenoid, the release time lengthens. Effective when connected to both contacts if the power supply voltage is 24 or 48 V and the voltage across the load is 100 to 200 V. Features/Others Device Selection If the load is a timer, leakage current flows through the CR circuit causing faulty operation. — Note: If used with AC voltage, be sure the impedance of the load is sufficiently smaller than that of the CR circuit. As a guide in selecting r and c, c: 0.5 to 1 µF per 1 A contact current r: 0.5 to 1 Ω per 1 V contact voltage Values vary depending on the properties of the load and variations in counter characteristics. Capacitor c acts to suppress the discharge the moment the contacts open. Resistor r acts to limit the current when the power is turned on the next time. Test to confirm. Use a capacitor with a breakdown voltage of 200 to 300 V. Use AC type capacitors (non-polarized) for AC circuits. 2. Type of Load and Inrush Current The type of load and its inrush current characteristics, together with the switching frequency, are important factors which cause contact welding. Particularly for loads with inrush currents, measure the steady state current and inrush current and use a relay or magnet switch which provides an ample margin of safety. The table below shows the relationship between typical loads and their inrush currents. ZNRvaristor Not available Available The diode connected in parallel causes the energy stored in the coil to flow to the coil in the form of current and dissipates it as joule heat at the resistance component of the inductive load. This circuit further delays the release time compared to the CR circuit. (2 to 5 times the release time listed in the catalog) Use a diode with a reverse breakdown voltage at least 10 times the circuit voltage and a forward current at least as large as the load current. In electronic circuits where the circuit voltages reverse breakdown voltage of about 2 to 3 times the power supply voltage. various kinds of input signals, therefore, use a power transformer in which the primary side is separated from the ungrounded secondary side as shown in Fig. A, for the power supply for a sensor and other input devices so that short-circuiting can be prevented. (Fig. A) Good Inductive load c Varistor circuit Counter contact Inductive load r Diode circuit Counter contact Inductive load Circuit Inductive load CR circuit (r: resistor c: capacitor) Counter contact Counter contact Available Available Using the rated voltage characteristics of the varistor, this circuit prevents excessively high voltages from being applied across the contacts. This circuit also slightly delays the release time. — 4. Long Continuous Current Flow Avoid keeping the counter on for a long period of time (over one month). Otherwise heat is generated and accumulated inside the counter, which may deteriorate its electronic parts. If the counter must be kept on for a long period of time, a relay is added. See the circuit diagram below. Insurating transformer (+) Input equipment (sensor, etc.) (–) R C R R (–) Type of load Resistive load Solenoid load Motor load Incandescent lamp load Mercury lamp load Sodium vapor lamp load Capacitive load Transformer load Inrush current Steady state current 10 to 20 times the steady state current 5 to 10 times the steady state current 10 to 15 times the steady state current 1 to 3 times the steady state current 1 to 3 times the steady state current 20 to 40 times the steady state current 5 to 15 times the steady state current When you want large load and long life of the counter, do not control the load direct with a counter. When the counter is designed to use a relay or a magnet switch, you can acquire the longer life of the counter. 3.

Terminal connections Correctly connect the pins while seeing the terminal layout/wiring diagram. In particular, the DC type, which has polarities, does not operate with the polarities connected reverse. Any incorrect connection can cause abnormal heating or ignition. 2. Connection to operating voltage 1)Apply the entire supply voltage through a switch, relay or other contact. 2) The operating voltage for the DC type must be at the specified ripple percentage or less. The average voltage must fall within the allowable operating voltage range. (Fig. A) Leakage current R R Operating voltage C C Counter 5. Superimposed surge of power supply For the superimposed surge of power supply, the standard waveform (±1.2 × 50µs or ±1 × 40µs) is taken as the standard value for surge-proof voltage. (The positive and negative voltages are applied each three or five times between the power pins.) For the standard values for the LC4H type counters, see the respective items in "Cautions for use." • Single-pole, full-wave voltage for surge waveform [±(1.2 × 50) µs] 100 90 C C Ripple percentage Approx. 48% Approx. 4% Approx. 17% 3) Make sure that no induced voltage and residual voltage are applied between the power terminals on the counter after the power switch is turned OFF. (If the power line is wired in parallel with the high-voltage and motor lines, induced voltage may be produced between the power pins.) 3. Control output 1) Keep the load capacity below the counter's rated control capacity. If used above the rating, the counter's service life may shorten. With the transistor output type counters, transistors may be damaged. 4. Installing the counter 1) To install the counter, use the dedicated pin bracket or socket (cap). Avoid connecting the pins on the counter by directly soldering them. 2) In order to maintain the characteristics, do not remove the counter cover (case). Counter 3) The counter cover (case), the knobs, and the dials are made of polycarbonated resin. Therefore, prevent the counter from being exposed to organic solvents such as methyl alcohol, benzine, and thinner, strong acid substances such as caustic soda, and ammonia and avoid using the counter in atmosphere containing any of those substances. 4) If the counter is used where noises are emitted frequently, separate the input signal elements (such as a sensor), the wiring for the input signal line, and the counter as far as possible from the noise source and the high power line containing noises. Input line Peak value Sensor, etc. 50 30 Counter Rectification type Single-phase, full-wave Three-phase, full-wave Three-phase, half-wave 2) If the counter is directly switched with a non-contact element, leak current may flow into the counter and cause it to malfunction. (Fig. B) Operating voltage Surge voltage (%) 5. Leakage current 1) For connecting operating voltage to the counter, a circuit should be used, which will prevent the flow of leakage current. For example, a circuit for contact protection as shown in Fig A. will permit leakage current flow through R and C, causing erroneous operation of the counter. Instead, the circuit shown in Fig. B should be used. 0 0 1.2 As remote as possible 50 Time (µs) If external surge occurs exceeding the specified value, the internal circuit may break down. In this case, use a surge absorption element. The typical surge absorption elements include a varistor, a capacitor, and a diode. If a surge absorption element is used, use an oscilloscope to see whether or not the foreign surge exceeding the specified value appears. 6. Signal input The counter's signal input comes in two ways. One is by opening and closing the input terminal. The other is by applying a specified H-level or L-level voltage to the input terminal. For an input sensor's residual voltage, input impedance, input voltage level and other signal input conditions, see the ratings for each type of product. 7. Operating environment 1) For the ambient operating temperature and humidity, see the ratings for each type of product. 2) Avoid using the counter in a location where inflammable or corrosive gas is generated, the counter is exposed to much dust and other foreign matter; water or oil is splashed on the counter; or vibrations or shocks are given to the counter. Power line, etc. 8. Checking the actual load In order to increase the reliability in the actual use, check the quality of the counter in the actual usage. 9. Others 1) If the counter is used exceeding the ratings (operating voltage and control capacity), the contact life, or any other specified limit, abnormal heat, smoke, or ignition may occur. 2) The LC2H series counter, incorporates a lithium battery. Never disassemble the lithium battery or throw it into fire because this may affect humans and facilities. The lithium battery must be disposed of as an incombustible like other used batteries. 3) If any malfunction of the counter is likely to affect human life and properties, give allowance to the rated values and performance values. In addition, take appropriate safety measures such as a duplex circuit from the viewpoint of product liabilities.

Surface mount 1) For the counters of LC4H series, use the pin type counter. 2) How to mount the counter From the panel front, pass the counter through the square hole. Fit the mounting frame from the rear, and then push it in so that the clearance between the mounting frame and the panel surface is minimized. In addition, lock the mounting frame with a screw. 2) Put the terminal socket on the board directly or put it on the DIN rail (Fig. 1). 3) Insert the counter into the terminal socket and fix it with clip (Fig. 2) 4) On DIN rail mounting, mount the counter on the DIN rail tightly to get the proper dimension (Fig. 3). • LC4H series (Fig. 1) Panel cover Mounting flame +0.6 0 +.024 0 PUSH +0.6 0 +.024 0 (Fig. 2) Screw +0.6 0 +.024 0 Rubber gasket Terminal socket (Fig. 3) DIN rail 5) 8-pin type should be connected with terminal socket AT8-DF8K. 11-pin type should be connected with terminal socket AT8-DF11K. 6) DIN rail (AT8-DLA1) is also available (1 m). 2. Flush mount 1) For the counters of LC4H series, it is recommended to use the built-in screw terminal type for flush mount. (Mounting frame and rubber gasket are provided when counter is shipped.) 5) Correctly connect the terminals while seeing the terminal layout and wiring diagram. 6) If the pin type is used, the rear pinbracket (AT8-RR) or the 8P cap (AD8RC) is necessary to connect the pins. For the 11-pin type, use the 11P cap (AT8-DP11) and avoid directly soldering the round pins on the counter. 7) Panel cutout dimensions The standard panel cutout dimensions are 45 shown in the left fig1.772 ure. (Panel thickness: 45 1 to 5 mm .039 to .197 1.772 inch) 8) Although the Min. 80 3.150 counters can be 45 1.772 mounted adja45 cent to each 1.772 other in this 80 case, it is rec- Min. 3.150 ommended to arrange the mounting holes as shown in the figure to facilitate attaching 45 1.772 and detaching the mounting A frame. 9) Adjacent mounting Although the counters can be mounted adjacent to each other, remember that the panel surface of LC4H series counter will lose its water-resistant effect. (Panel thickness: 1 to 5 mm .039 to .197 inch) A = (48 × n – 2.5) +0.6 +0 When lining up the counters horizontally, set the frames in such a position so the formed spring areas are at the top and bottom. When lining up the counters vertically, set the frames in such a position Formed spring as the formed spring areas are at the right and left. 3) Caution in mounting the counter • LC4H series
a If the LC4H series are used as the waterproof types (IEC IP66), tighten the reinforcing screws on the mounting frames so that the counters, the rubber gaskets, and the panel surfaces are tightly contacted with each other. (Tighten the two screws with uniform force and make sure that there is no rattling. If the screws are tightened too excessively, the mounting frame may come off.)
b If the counter is installed with the panel cover and the rubber gasket removed, the waterproofing characteristic is lost. 4) Removal Loosen the screws on the mounting frame, spread the edge of frame and remove it. Pull the mounting frame backward while spreading out its hooks with your thumbs and index fingers. 1 +0.6 0 +.024 0 +0.6 0 +.024 0 2 Formed spring 1 145 CTi Automation - Phone: 800.894.0412 - Fax: 208.368.0415 - Web: www.ctiautomation.net - Email: info@ctiautomation.net DISCONTINUED MODELS AND RECOMMENDED SUBSTITUTES Timers Discontinued models Recommended substitutes MHP-NS Exposed type Square plug-in/ horizontal type MHP-N MHP-NS- MHP-N- MHP-M Exposed type Round plug-in/ horizontal type Exposed type Round plug-in/ vertical type MHP-NM Exposed type Round plug-in/ vertical type MHP-M- MHP-NM- MHP-YC Embedded type With attachment frame MHP-N Exposed type Without attachment frame MHP-YC- MHP-N- MHP-YM Embedded type With attachment frame MHP-NM Exposed type Without attachment frame MHP-YM- MHP-NM- CHP-N Exposed type with attachement frame type PM4H-S PMH Terminal base AT8-RFD should be used.

Europe IEC standard EN standard International Electrotechnical Commission By promoting international cooperation toward all problems and related issues regarding standardization in the electrical and electronic technology fields, the IEC, a non-governmental organization, was started in October, 1908, for the purpose of realizing mutual understanding on an international level. To this end, the IEC standard was enacted for the purpose of promoting international standardization. 2. North America LISTING MARK Fig. 1 RECOGNITION MARK Fig. 2 Certification Fig. 3 Component Acceptance Fig. 4 Fig. 5 UL (Underwiters Laboratories Inc.) This is a non-profit testing organization formed in 1894 by a coalition of U.S. fire insurance firms, which tests and approves industrial products (finished products). When electrical products are marketed in the U.S., UL approval is mandated in many states, by state law and city ordinances. In order to obtain UL approval, the principal parts contained in industrial products must also be ULapproved parts. UL approval is divided into two general types. One is called “listing” (Fig. 1), and applies to industrial products (finished products). Under this type of approval, products must be approved unconditionally. The other type is called “recognition” (Fig. 2), and is a conditional approval which applies to parts and materials. CSA (Canadian Standards Association) This was established in 1919 as a non-profit, nongovernmental organization aimed at promoting standards. It sets standards for industrial products, parts, and materials, and has the authority to judge electrical products to determine whether they conform to those standards. The CSA is the ultimate authority in the eyes of both the government and the people in terms of credibility and respect. Almost all states and provinces in Canada require CSA approval by law, in order to sell electrical products. As a result, electrical products exported from Japan to Canada are not approved under Canadian laws unless they have received CSA approval and display the CSA mark. Approval is called “certification”, and products and parts which have been approved are called “certified equipment”, and display the mark shown in Fig. 3. The mark shown in Fig. 4 is called the “Component Acceptance” mark, and indicates conditional approval which is applicable to parts. The C-UL mark shown in Fig. 5 (finished products) and Fig. 6 (parts) indicates that the product has been tested and approved in UL laboratories, based on UL and CSA standards, through mutual approval activities. European Standards/Norme Europeennee (France)/Europaishe Norm (Germany) Abbreviation for European Standards. A unified standard enacted by CEN/CENELEC (European Standards Committee/European Electrical Standards Committee). EU and EFTA member nations employ the content of the EN standards into their own national standards and are obligated to abolish those national standards that do not agree with the EN standards. (1) Germany VDE TÜV Rheinland VDE (Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker) The VDE laboratory was established mainly by the German Electric Technology Alliance, which was formed in 1893. It carries out safety experiments and passes approval for electrical devices and parts. Although VDE certification is not enforced under German law, punishment is severe should electrical shock or fire occur; therefore, it is, in fact, like an enforcement. TÜV (Technischer Überwachungs-Verein) TÜV is a civilian, non-profit, independent organization that has its roots in the German Boiler Surveillance Association, which was started in 1875 for the purpose of preventing boiler accidents. A major characteristic of TÜV is that it exists as a combination of 14 independent organizations (TÜV Rheinland, TÜV Bayern, etc.) throughout Germany. TÜV carries out inspection on a wide variety of industrial devices and equipment, and has been entrusted to handle electrical products, as well, by the government. TÜV inspection and certification is based mainly on the VDE standard. TÜV certification can be obtained from any of the 14 TÜVs throughout Germany and has the same effectiveness as obtaining VDE certification. 4. Shipping Standards (1) Lloyd’s Register of Shipping Standards from the Lloyd’s Register shipping association based in England. These standards are safety standards for environmental testing of the temperature and vibration tolerances of electrical components used for UMS (unmanned machine rooms in marine vessels) applications. These standards have become international standards for control equipment in all marine vessel applications. No particular action is taken to display the conformation to these standards on the products.

The world’s largest single market, the European Community (EC) was born on 1 January 1993 (changing its name to EU in November 1993. It is now always expressed as EU, apart from EC directives.) EU member country products have always had their quality and safety guaranteed according to the individual standards of each member country. However, the standards of each country being different prevented the free flow of goods within the EU. For this reason, in order to eliminate non-tariff barriers due to these standards, and to maximize the merits of EU unification, the EC directives were issued concomitant to the birth of the EU. The EN standards were established as universal EU standards in order to facilitate EU directives. These standards were merged with the international IEC standards and henceforth reflect the standards in all countries. Also, the CE markings show that products conform to EC directives, and guarantee the free flow of products within the EC.

An abbreviation of Norme Europeenne (in French), and called European Standards in English. Approval is by vote among the CEN/CENELEC member countries, and is a unified standards limited to EU member countries, but the contents conform to the international ISO/IEC standards. If the relevant EN standard does not exist, it is necessary to obtain approval based on the relevant IEC standard or, if the relevant IEC standard does not exist, the relevant standard from each country, such as VDE, BS, SEMKO, and so forth. Appropriate EC directives for control equipment products The main EC directives that are to do with machinery and electrical equipment are the machinery directive, the EMC directive, the low voltage directive, and the telecom directive. Although these directives have already been issued, the date of their enactment is different for each one. The machinery directive was 1 January 1995. The EMC directive was 1 January 1996, and the low voltage directive was enacted from 1 January 1997. The telecom directive was established by the separate CTR (Common Technology References.)
