Relation between Output Type and Relay
• The drive operation for the output relay is reversed in these models.
• Relay contacts can be made open (i.e., OFF) when comparative set
values are being judged. This is effective when constructing systems
that take failsafe measures into consideration.

Note: The commons for linear output and transistor output on models
with L1 and L2 are connected internally.
Depending on how the common is wired for externally
connected devices, unwanted current paths for the linear
output signal in the circuit may prevent the output signal from
being output.
When connecting an external device, externally connect a relay
to the transistor output or provide another means of insulation.

• The scaling will be displayed on a line connecting two points by setting Display 1 for Input 1 and
Display 2 for Input 2.
The position of the decimal point can be set as desired. If the decimal point is to be displayed, it is
necessary to consider the number of digits to be displayed past the decimal point when setting the
scaling display value.
Note: When pulse input is used, the base point is the 0 point, so the settings are only the input
value and the display value.

Instead of setting by inputting with the Shift Key and Up Key, current measurement values van be

K3GN
• If the K3GN is used with a pulse signal input, the display value will be the input frequency if scaling is not performed.
Display the rate of rotation or the speed of a device or machine to which the K3GN is mounted by converting using scaling.
The relation between input f (Hz) and display D is expressed in the form D = f x a (factor). The value depends on the display unit. The formula
will be comprised as follows:
Display using rpm: D = f x 1/N x 60, N = Number of pulses per rotation, f = Input pulse frequency (Hz) (i.e., number of pulses in one second)
Display using m/min: D = f x π d x 1/N x 60, π d = Circumference length (m) per rotation

K3GN
Operation
■ Main Functions
Key Protection
Scaling
Key protection is used to restrict changes to displays and settings
using the front panel keys and to restrict menu display and
movement of operation levels. This function is effective for preventing
misuse during operation.
The K3GN includes a scaling function that can convert the input
signal to a desired value and display that value.
The displayed values can be freely adjusted to shift values, to create
reversed displays, or to create positive/negative displays.

Startup Compensation Time (Rotary
Pulse Input Only)
The startup compensation time parameter keeps the measurement
operation from sending an unnecessary output corresponding to
instantaneous, fluctuating input from the moment the K3GN is turned
ON until the end of the preset period.
Hysteresis
INPUT1
INPUT2
Input
value
The hysteresis of comparative outputs can be set to prevent the chattering of relay or transistor outputs.
Teaching
Teaching is used when using scaling or setting comparative set
values to set the present measurement values as the set values
instead of inputting with the Shift and Up/Zero Keys. Teaching is
useful for making settings while checking the operation status of the
K3GN.
Average Processing
Average processing can be performed for measurement values using
four levels (OFF, 2 times, 4 times, or 8 times). Average processing
stabilizes displayed values by averaging the corresponding input
signals that fluctuate dynamically. Select the appropriate number of
averaging times depending on the application.
Forced-zero Function
It is possible to shift from a
value to the zero point with
one touch of the Up/Zero
Key on the front panel (for
example, when adjusting
reference values).

protection is released.
Changing the Display Color
The color of the value displayed can be set to either red or green.
Make the setting according to the purpose and application of the
equipment in which the K3GN is installed. The display color can also
be set to change from green to red, or from red to green, according
to the status of the comparison criteria.
Output Type Selection
Output operation for comparative set values can be freely selected.
Upper limit: Output ON if the measurement value ≥ comparative set
value.
Lower limit: Output ON if the measurement value ≤ comparative set
value.
Upper/lower limit: Output ON if the measurement value ≥
comparative upper-limit set value or if the measurement value is ≤
the comparative lower-limit value.

• For installation, insert the K3GN
panel into the rectangular hole,
insert the adaptor from the rear, and
push it in to reduce the gap between
the panel surface and the adaptor.
Secure the Unit with the screws.
For water-proof installation, insert
the rubber gasket onto the body of
the K3GN.
• If multiple mounted Units are used,
make sure the ambient temperature

Installation
1. Insert the K3GN into the panel cut-out hole.
2. For a waterproof installation, insert the rubber gasket onto the
body of the K3GN.
Rubber packing
■ Rubber Packing
The Rubber Packing ensures a waterproof level conforming to
NEMA4X. Depending on the operating environment, deterioration,
contraction, or hardening of the Rubber Packing may occur, making
replacement necessary. Contact your OMRON representative if
replacement is required.
■ Wiring Precautions
3. Fit the adaptor into the grooves on the left and right sides of the
rear case, then push it until it contacts the panel to secure the
K3GN.

• Wire the power supply with the correct polarity. Wiring with
incorrect polarity may result in damage or burning.
• Wire the terminals using crimp terminals.
• Tighten terminal screws to a torque of approx. 0.5 N·m.
• Wire signal lines and power lines separately to reduce the influence
of noise.
