Mounting and Installation
Installation
Mounting with bracket
: The tightening torque of the piping port must be 7 to 9 Nm.
The tightening torque of the mounting screw for the bracket must be 0.5 to 0.7 Nm.
Fix the bracket to the pressure switch with the set screws M3x5L (2 pcs.)
supplied, before installation.

Piping
Connection using One-touch fitting
1. Cut the tube end perpendicular.
Tube
2. Hold the tube and insert it into the
One-touch fitting slowly until it
bottoms out.
One-touch fitting
Allow sufficient tube length to prevent
twist and tensile or moment loads from
being applied to the fitting or tube.
When using a tube manufactured by a company other than
SMC, check that its outside diameter tolerance satisfies the following values:
1) Nylon tube: ±0.1 mm maximum
2) Soft nylon tube: ±0.1 mm maximum
3) Polyurethane tube: +0.15 mm/-0.2 mm maximum
Wiring
Connection
Connections should only be made with the power supply turned off.
Use separate routes for the Pressure switch 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. When a switch-mode
power supply is connected to the product, switching noise will be
superimposed and the product specification can no longer be met. This can
be prevented by inserting a noise filter, such as a line noise filter and ferrite
core, between the switch-mode power supply and the product, or by using a
series power supply instead of the switch-mode power supply.
Connector
Connecting / Disconnecting
When mounting the connector, insert it straight into the socket, holding the
lever and connector body, and push the connector until the lever hooks into
the housing, and locks.
When removing the connector, press down the lever to release the hook
from the housing and pull the connector straight out.

Maintenance
How to reset the product after a power cut or forcible de-energizing
The setting of the product will be retained as it was before a power cut or
de-energizing.
The output condition is also basically recovered to that before a power cut or
de-energizing, but may change depending on the operating environment.
Therefore, check the safety of the whole installation before operating the product. If
the installation is using accurate control, wait until the product has warmed up
(approximately 10 to 15 minutes).

Troubleshooting Method
Turn the power off and remove the
cause of the over current. Then
turn the power on.
Perform zero clear operation again
after restoring the applied pressure
to an atmospheric pressure
condition.
Reset applied pressure to a level
within the set pressure range.
Turn the power off and turn it on
again.
If resetting fails, an investigation by
SMC Corporation will be required.
