Safety Instructions (continued)
NOTE
Follow the instructions given below when handling the flow
sensor. Otherwise, the flow sensor may be damaged or may
fail, thereby resulting in malfunction.
Perform proper functional checks and leak tests after
maintenance.
Stop operation when an abnormality is observed such that the flow
sensor does not work properly or there is a leakage of fluid.
• Make sure to use a sensor by the specified voltage.
• Make sure to use specified measurement flow and operating pressure.
Safety is not be assured due to unexpected malfunction.
When leakage occurred from other parts except piping, the flow sensor
might break.
Cut off power supply and stop supplying pressure. Don’t apply pressure
at leaking condition.
• Confirm the pressure loss at the sensor according to the flow
characteristic (Pressure loss) graph for designing piping.
• Prepare maintenance space.
• Do not drop or bump, or apply excess impact (490mm/s ).
2
• Do not pull the lead wire forcefully, not lift the product by pulling the
lead wire. (Tensile force 49N or less).
• Mount a sensor by observing the proper tightening torque.
• For piping of the flow sensor, hold the piping with spanner on the metal
part of the piping (Piping attachment).
• Install or connect the flow sensor so that the flow direction specified on
the label matches with actual flow direction.
• Pipe the flow sensor after eliminating dust in piping by air blow to avoid
failure and malfunction.
• Never mount a sensor in a place that will be used as a scaffold during
piping.
Precaution on Handling
Use UL approved product for direct current power supply.
1.Clamping voltage current circuit complies with UL508
Circuit which power supply if insulation transducer satisfying
following conditions
Max. voltage (No load) : 30Vrms (42.4V peak) or less
Max. current : (1) 8A or less (Including short circuit)
(2) When limited by the circuit
• Use dry air which complies with the quality grade of ISO 8573-1 1.1.2 to
1.6.2 : 2001.
• If the entering of foreign material to the fluid is possible, install and pipe
the filter or the mist separator to the inlet to avoid failure and
malfunction.
• Avoid repeatedly bending or stretching the lead wire.
• Wire correctly.
• Do not wire while the power is supplied.
• Do not wire in conjunction with power lines or high voltage lines.
• Confirm proper insulation of wiring.

Body
• Avoid foreign material such as wiring chips in the product.
• Avoid using sensors in an environment where the likelihood of
splashing or spraying of water, chemicals, and oil to avoid failure and
malfunction.
Power source display (green) : Turns on when power is supplied.
Flow display (green) : Flashing interval depends on the flow value.
As flow increases, flash interval is shortened.
The light turns to red when rated flow is exceeded.
Body : Flow sensor itself.
• Consider operating environment according to protection class.
2
• Do not mount the flow sensor where vibration (98m/s or less) and
2
impact (490m/s or less) do not exist to avoid failure and malfunction.
• Operation under low temperature (5 or less) leads to cause damage
or operation failure due to frozen moist in the fluid or air.
Flow adjustment valve : Orifice mechanism to abjust the flow.
Piping port : Connect port of piping.
• Do not short circuit the load.
Knurl : Used to fix the needle.
• Supply power when there is no flow.
Through hole : Used to mount the flow sensor on a DIN rail or a panel directly.
• The flow sensor is compulsory turned off for 3s after power supplied.
• Maintenance and inspection should be performed periodically.
• Analogue output may fluctuate by 2 to 3% for 10 minutes after
supplying power to the flow sensor.
• Do not poke inside a piping port with a stick.
• A flow rate of the flow sensor, which has a restrictor, may change if the
needle turns due to vibration.
• The accuracy may fluctuate by 2 to 3% if a customer removes or
replaces piping by themselves.
• When the product is fixed with a screw using the through hole, please
tighten it with a 0.3Nm ± 0.05 or less of tightening torque. (Excessive
tightening may break the product.)

•
Be sure to ground terminal FG when using a switching regulator
obtained on the market. If analog output is performed connecting to a
switching regulator obtained on the market, switching noise will be
superimposed and product specification can no longer be met. This
can be prevented by inserting a noise filter, such as a line noise filter
and a ferrite element, between the switching regulator and the
sensor, or by using a seriespower supply instead of a switching
regulator.
