Precautions for use Caution Do not install the product at a dangerous place. Do not use the product for applications to which a high level of safety is required, such as nuclear power, railway, aviation, vehicle, and amusement applications. The electric circuits in this turbine meter do not have an anti-explosion structure. Do Not Do not use this product for the measurement of corrosive gases or the gases listed below.
Disposal after use Never dispose of the meter through a general waste processing route because a lithium battery is embedded inside (applicable for the Built-in battery type). Never throw the meter into a fire. It may ignite or explode. For proper use Be sure that the gas the customer is going to use agrees with the specifications shown on the nameplate.

Do not install the meter at a place where oil mist or powder of dust is wafting. 1. Use the meter in a condition in which the generation of oil mist due to reliquefaction can be avoided. Oil mist that adheres to inside the flow rate meter may cause errors in flow rate measurement, hindering accurate measurement.
Main body and structure Checking the content of the package Check the following items when this product is delivered. Check the model name to make sure it is the product you have ordered. Check the appearance to make sure the product is not broken. Verify the accessories with the specifications.

The maximum frequency with the standard specifications. The maximum frequency varies with the pulse output unit that has been set. Note that the maximum frequency will be approximately 8 Hz when the pulse output unit of TBX30 (D) is set to 1 L/P.
Outside dimensions The direction of the indicator of TBX100F (D) can be freely adjusted to accommodate to the inflow direction of the gas. In addition, the indicator can be detached to be used as a remote External dimensions display. Model Service life Standard Name...
External connection Built-in battery type Use the dedicated external connection cable (optional) to extract the external pulse output signals (open drain). For the connection between the meter main body and the indicator, connect the signal wires of the indicator to the terminal box of the external connection cable (4 wires, 2 m) as follows.

On that occasion, use caution not to make a short circuit. The power source used should be an isolation type having a short-circuit protection function. (1) In case of TBX30 (D) On installation Secure the connection unit first, and then screw pipes with tapered external threading into both ends of the meter.

Constant display mode During normal operation (while a flow rate value is displayed), pressing and holding the “FLOW RATE” switch and the “START” switch together for four seconds or longer will change the display to this mode. You can select various setting items in sequence by pressing the “FLOW RATE” switch. Pressing the “FLOW RATE”...

Pulse output unit setting Select the No.4 mode. Pressing and holding the “FLOW RATE” switch for two seconds (i.e. start of setting) will make the setting value for pulse output unit blinking (0.5 seconds interval). You can change the setting value for pulse output unit in the range from 1 to 10,000 L/P by pressing the “FLOW RATE”...

Pulse output width setting Select the No.5 mode. Pressing and holding the “FLOW RATE” switch for two seconds (i.e. start of setting) will make the setting value for output pulse width blinking (0.5 seconds interval). You can change the setting value for pulse output width between 40 and 120 in order by pressing the “FLOW RATE”...

(applicable only for the Built-in battery type) Inventory mode The product has the inventory mode for reducing the power consumption while it is in stock. In the inventory mode, the LCD display becomes "--------" and integration and pulse output will not be carried out even when air flows. The following figure shows how to operate the meter to change to and return from the inventory mode.
12 Instructions for the beginning of use Open the inflow valve (upstream from the meter) gradually. Open the outflow valve (downstream from the meter) gradually. Check that the pilot is blinking. Change the indicator display of the meter to an instantaneous flow rate value, and then adjust the valve so that the flow rate value is in the specified range.
16 Troubleshooting In the event you encounter a trouble that could be caused by a failure of the meter, refer to the following table first. If the symptom is not listed in this table or the measures in this table does not improve the situation, contact your nearest branch office or sales office.
