  • Page 1 SM-375524-A INSTRUCTION MANUAL COMPRESSED AIR FLOW SENSOR PFD Series PFK Series Please read this instruction manual carefully ● before using this product, particularly the section describing safety. Retain this instruction manual with the ● product for further consultation whenever necessary.
  • Page 3: Safety Precautions

    ! Always read this section before starting use. When designing and manufacturing a device using CKD products, the manufacturer is obligated to check that device safety mechanical mechanism, pneumatic control circuit, or water control circuit and the system operated by electrical control that controls the devices is secured.
  • Page 4 Items Related to Design and Selection Specification check Never use for flammable fluids. ! DANGER: Use within the specification range characteristic to the product. ! WARNING: The product is designed for use only in the compressed air system. Fracture and malfunction will be caused at pressures or temperatures outside the specification range.
  • Page 5: Operating Environment

    Operating environment Never use in the explosive gas atmosphere. Because the ! DANGER: product does not have an explosion-proof structure, explosion and fire may be caused. If the product is used for nitrogen gas, there is danger of oxygen deficiency. Follow the precautions below and take sufficient care of handling.
  • Page 6 Items Related to Installation and Adjustment Installation Use at specification source voltage and output. ! DANGER: If voltages exceeding the specification voltage limit are added, malfunction, sensor breakage and electric shock and fire will be caused. Do not use loads exceeding the output rating. Otherwise breakage in the output circuit and/or fire will be caused.
  • Page 7 CAUTION: ! The product is designed to have no resistance against lightning surges. Though the product complies with CE marking, no resistance against lightning surges is designed. Take protective measures against lightning surges on the equipment side if necessary. Do not allow repetitive bending forces or tension applied on lead wires.
  • Page 8 When connecting pipes, tighten to the correct torque. CAUTION: ! (1) Prevention of air leaks and thread breakage is the purpose. (2) To avoid damage on the thread, tighten by hand first, then use a tool. Connecting Recommended screw tightening torque [Nm] Rc3/8 22 to 24 Rc1/2...
  • Page 9 When using an elbow or bushing in piping, it is recommended ! CAUTION: to install a direct pipe of 10D or over (in case of primary circuit) or 5D or over (in case of secondary circuit). (1) Be sure to install a direct pipe for the PFD-163 Series. (2) The difference of bores changed with a bushing may not be two or more sizes.
  • Page 10 Items Related to Operation and Maintenance During operation If the valve leading to the sensor is opened quickly, several ten ! WARNING: folds of the rated flow will occur, causing breakage of the platinum thin film sensor and rectifying unit, possibly resulting in an outflow to the secondary circuit.
