Summary of Product parts Front Item Description Indicates the unit currently selected, and automatically displays instantaneous Unit display flow or accumulated flow units according to the display mode. LCD display Displays the flow value, setting mode, and error indication. Indicator LED (output) Indicates the switch output status.
■Definition and terminology Terms Meaning The total amount of fluid that has passed through the device. If an instantaneous flow of Accumulated flow 10 L/min continues for 5 minutes, the accumulated flow will be 5×10 = 50 L. Accumulated pulse A type of output where a pulse is generated every time a predefined accumulated flow output passes.
Page 15
Terms Meaning The range of ON/OFF threshold values that can be set for those products with a switch Setting flow range output. Flow display which is converted in atmospheric pressure at 20 °C, 65%R.H. Standard condition Output type that has only 2 conditions, ON or OFF. In the ON condition, an indicator Switch output light (output) will show, and any connected load will be powered.
Mounting and Installation ■Installation •Never mount the product in a location that will be used as a foothold. ●Installing Mounting with the panel mount adapter □ •Install the product as shown below. The 48 mm conversion adapter is available if required. •The panel mount adapter and the front cover can be rotated 90 for mounting.
■Wiring •Connections should only be made with the power supply turned off. •Use separate routes for the product wiring and any power or high voltage wiring. Otherwise, malfunction may result due to noise. •Ensure that the FG terminal is connected to ground when using a commercially available switch-mode power supply.
