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 electric shock, malfunction or damage to the product can result. ■After maintenance is complete, perform appropriate functional inspections and leak tests. Stop operation if the equipment does not function properly or there is a leakage of fluid. When leakage occurs from parts other than the piping, the product might be faulty.

Adjustment and Operation •Turn on the power switch after connecting the pressure sensor. •Do not short circuit the pressure sensor. If the output of the pressure sensor is short-circuited, an error will be displayed, but there is a possibility that an overcurrent will flow and the product will be damaged.
Summary of Product parts ○Names of individual parts Operation light: Displays the switch operating condition. LCD display: Displays the current status of pressure, setting mode, selected display units and error code. The main display is normally a solid green colour, but when there is an error, it will turn red. The indication for the sub display is orange.
■Definition and terminology Term Definition The problem of the switch output turning ON and OFF repeatedly around the Chattering set value at high frequency due to the effect of pulsation. Copy function A function to copy a pressure setting value and function setting. The setting time from when the signal of the connected pressure sensor Delay time reaches the set value, to when the ON-OFF output actually begins working.

Term Definition Abbreviation of full span and full scale; difference between the minimum and maximum rated pressure values. means the maximum fluctuation range of F.S. the product rated value. (full span/full scale) For example, when the rated pressure range is -0.100 to 1.000 [MPa]: F.S.
Page 13
Term Definition The pressure range within which the product will meet all published specifications. Rated pressure range Values outside of this range can be set as long as they are within the set pressure range, but the specifications cannot be guaranteed. Current read value For example, when the display value is 1.000[MPa], 5%R.D.
Wiring ○Wiring connections ●Connections should be made with the power supply turned off. ●Use a separate route for the product wiring and any power or high voltage wiring. Otherwise, malfunction may result due to noise. ○How to use the connector Connector conversion parts attachment/detachment ●When connecting the connector conversion parts, insert it straight onto the pins, holding the lever and connector body, and lock the connector by pushing the lever hook into the concave groove on the housing.
