Page 3: Safety Instructions
Safety Instructions These safety instructions are intended to prevent hazardous situations and/or equipment damage. These instructions indicate the level of potential hazard with the labels of “Caution,” “Warning” or “Danger.” They are all important notes for safety and must be followed in addition to International Standards (ISO/IEC) , and other safety regulations. - Page 4 Safety Instructions Caution We develop, design, and manufacture our products to be used for automatic control equipment, and provide them for peaceful use in manufacturing business. Use in non-manufacturing business is not covered. Products we manufacture and sell cannot be used for the purpose of transactions or certification specified in the Measurement Act.
- Page 5 Operator This operation manual is intended for those who have knowledge of machinery using pneumatic equipment, and have sufficient knowledge of assembly, operation and maintenance of such equipment. Only those persons are allowed to perform assembly, operation and maintenance. Read and understand this operation manual carefully before assembling, operating or providing maintenance to the product.
- Page 6 Caution ■Do not touch the terminals and connectors while the power is on. Otherwise, it may cause electric shock, malfunction, and damage to the product. ■After completing maintenance, perform appropriate functional inspections and leak tests. Stop operation if the equipment does not function correctly or there is a leakage of fluid. When leakage occurs from parts other than the piping, the product might be faulty.
- Page 7 ●Product handling Mounting •Tighten screws to the specified tightening torque. If the tightening torque is exceeded, the mounting screws, brackets, the product, and other parts may be damaged. Insufficient torque can cause displacement of the product from its correct position and looseness of the screws. (Refer to Mounting and Installation on page 16).
- Page 8 Wiring (Including connecting/disconnecting the connectors) •Do not pull hard on the lead wire. Otherwise it may damage the internal components and cause malfunction or detachment from the connector. •Avoid repetitive bending, stretching or applying a heavy object or force to the lead wire. Repetitive bending stress or tensile stress can cause the sheath of the wire to peel off, or breakage of the wires.
- Page 9 Operating environment •Do not use the product in an environment where the product is constantly exposed to water splashes. Otherwise, it may cause failure or malfunction. Take measures such as using a cover. •Do not use in an atmosphere with corrosive gases, chemicals, sea water, water steam, or where there is direct contact with any of these.
- Page 10 Adjustment and operation •Connect the load before turning the power supply on. •Do not short-circuit the load. The product may be damaged due to over-current. •Check that the system is in the status below when performing flow rate control (at flow rate command input).

Page 16: Mounting And Installation
Mounting and Installation Check the product specifications before use and operate in an appropriate environment. ■Installation by bracket Mount the bracket to the product using the self-tapping screw supplied (3 × 8L, 6 pcs.). (Tightening torque: 1.0 to 1.2 N•m) Mount on a panel using the product mounting screws (equivalent to M4: 6 pcs.). -
Page 17: Piping Method
■Piping method Refer to the fluid flow direction indicated on the product label for installation and piping. When piping the product, hold the piping with a spanner on the metal part of the product (metal piping attachment on the piping side). Using a spanner on other parts may damage the product. Make sure that the spanner does not impact the connector. - Page 18 Caution The product body is made of resin. The installation and piping of the product must satisfy the following requirements. Otherwise, it may damage the product and/or cause water leakage. •No load should be directly applied to the product. •Do not perform piping when the piping is not aligned. A permanent load will be applied to the product after piping.

Page 19: Wiring Method
■Wiring method •Connections should only be performed with the power supply turned off. •Use a separate route for the product wiring and any power or high voltage wiring. Malfunctions stemming from noise may occur if the wire is installed in the same route as that of power lines or high voltage lines. •If a commercially available switching power supply is used, be sure to connect the frame ground (FG) terminal to ground. - Page 20 ○Internal circuit and wiring Input/output specifications Model Name Function Specifications Remarks Analogue voltage Input impedance: approx. 1 MΩ 1 to 5 V input Analogue voltage Output impedance: approx. 1 kΩ FC3W5##-##-A1#-## OUT1 1 to 5 V output External input Dry contact relay input 0.4 V or less, 30 ms or more (Control stop input) Analogue current...
