3) 

TYGON is registered trademarks of SAINT-GOBAIN.
Ensure that excessive pressure is not applied to the pressure ports. Since this 
sensor is designed for detecting small pressures, if excessive pressure or shock 
is applied to the pressure ports, the diaphragm (pressure sensing device) in the 
sensor may get damaged.
Please do not compress the tube. If the tube is compressed, pressure exceeding 
the rated value may be generated, damaging the diaphragm (pressure sensing 
device).

Pressure Hi-port

Fix tubes on ports securely

Pressure Lo-port

Flexible tubes
(silicone tube etc.)

TYGON   tube, size: internal dia 4mm, external dia 6mm, made 
by SAINT-GOBAIN.

ە

Apply higher pressure to the Hi-port and lower pressure to the 
Lo-port.
Use flexible tubes (silicone tube etc.) that can fit the pressure 
ports, 

ȭ

4.6mm in diameter. The tubes should cover more than 

half the length of the pressure ports.

Never use this product as a sensing device for 
personnel protection.
In case of using sensing devices for personnel protec-
tion, use products which meet laws and standards, 
such as OSHA, ANSI or IEC etc., for personnel 
protection applicable in each region or country.
In case this sensor is used within Japan, SI unit 
must be used since use of pressure units in Japan 
is restricted to SI units.

This product has been developed / produced for industrial use 
only.
Use within the rated pressure range.
Make sure that the power supply is off while wiring.
Take care that wrong wiring will damage the sensor.
Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating.
If power is supplied from a commercial switching regulator, 
ensure that the frame ground (F.G.) terminal of the power supply 
is connected to an actual ground.
In case noise generating equipment (switching regulator, inverter 
motor, etc.) is used in the vicinity of this sensor, connect the 
frame ground (F.G.) terminal of the equipment to an actual 
ground.
Do not use during the initial transient time (0.5 sec.) after the 
power supply is switched on.
Do not run the wires together with high-voltage lines or power 
lines or put them in the same raceway. This can cause malfunc-
tion due to induction.
Avoid dust, dirt, and steam.
Take care that the sensor does not come in contact with water, 
oil, grease, organic solvents, such as, thinner etc., or strong 
acid, and alkaline.
Do not insert wires, etc, into the pressure port. The diaphragm 
(pressure sensing device) will get damaged and correct opera-
tion shall not be maintained.
Do not operate the keys with pointed or sharp objects.
Make sure that stress by forcible bend or pulling is not applied 
directly to the sensor cable joint.
Extension up to total 100m is possible with 0.3mm

cable. However, in case of using this product as a CE conformity 
product, the power wire connected to this product must be within 
10m.
