To avoid fire and explosion, Do not use the product for
flammable fluid.
This flow sensor is designed for air. Only dry air, N
Do not use this product near by a place where static electricity
is a problem.
Otherwise it can cause failure or malfunction of a system.
These instructions must be followed while in maintenance ;
Turn off the power supply, stop the supplied air, exhaust the
residual pressure and verify the release of air before
performing maintenance.
Otherwise it can cause injury.
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. 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.
Precaution on Handling
Use UL approved product for direct current power supply.
