5 Installation 5 Installation 5.1 Installation Instructions • Do not use near a surge voltage generated area. Solenoid lifters, high fre- quency Induction furnaces and motors, etc. can generate high surge volt- ages, if using near the sensor will cause the internal circuit components to deteriorate and cause damages.
5 Installation Recommended Equipments and Installation Pressure sensor Outlet Inlet Flow sensor Air source Air dryer Regulator Micro mist Filter separator (oil mist filter) When measuring the pressure of the inlet side, install a throttle valve or solenoid valve on the outlet side.
5 Installation Bracket (no. 10.06.04.00011) mounting 1. Fix the bracket to the flow sensor. Self-Tap- ping-Screw: P Type, size M3.0, length L = 6 mm. 2. Mounting screws. 5.3 Piping Install the pipe by following the arrow indication that shows the air flow direction on the product. Flow direction Use straight piping 8 cm or longer to connect the Piping Port (Inlet side).
5 Installation Piping Port Piping Port (Inlet side) (Outlet side) straight piping 8 cm or longer Blow the air to flush out the foreign matters, dust and etc. before installing the pipe. Uncleaned air may cause malfunction or damage to the product. Caution When mounting the fitting, a wrench should be used on the metal part.
