Notes: 1) Direction of the arrow indicates the forward direction of flow rate when setting the flow direction to bi-direction
or one-side forward direction. When setting the flow direction to one-side reverse direction, a direction oppo-
site to the forward direction display will be the forward direction of the flow rate. For setting flow direction, re-

● The following specified tube should be used to insert to the push-in joint type product.
● Before using the product, make sure to check that the tube is firmly inserted.

● Install a filter, an air dryer and an oil mist filter (micro-alescer) onto the primary
side (upstream) of the product since the compressed air from the compressor
contains drain (water, oil oxide and foreign materials, etc.). Mesh (wire net) in the
product is used to rectify the flow in the pipe. Always install a filter to the primary
side of the product since this mesh is not a filter to remove foreign materials, etc.

● When using a valve on the primary side of the product, only use an oil-prohibit specifica-
tion valve. The product may malfunction or break if subject to splattering grease or oil, etc.
● When using the product with adsorption verification, etc., always install an air filter
whose filtration property is 10µm or less onto the suction side to prevent suction
of foreign materials and water. Furthermore, consider atmospheric dew point and
ambient temperature of the product, use the product under the conditions that
dew condensations will not be formed in the inside of pipe.
● In case of mounting commercial joint to the aluminum body type, apply a spanner on
the metal part of this product and tighten by the tightening torque of 16 to 18N·m. If
excessive torque is applied, the commercial joint or the main body may break.
● When piping, care must be taken that foreign materials such as sealing tape and
adhesive must not enter into the inside. If the foreign materials are entered, the
product may malfunction or break.
● Make sure to mount the joint when using the product with its secondary side (downstream)
is open to the air. If the joint is not mounted, the port filter of the product may fall off.

WIRING
Connection method
● Insert the cable with connector
CN-F15-C1
(accesso-
ry) into the connector area of this product and mount
the connector cover.
Disconnection method
● Remove the connector cover and pressing the release
lever of the cable with connector, pull out the connector.

Notes: 1) As for the aluminum body type, variable resistor (clamping voltage: approx. 40V) is connected between the
internal power circuit and the metal body to prevent breakdown of the sensor. Connect the metal body to +V
of power supply or frame ground (F.G.) of a device that is connected to 0V. High potential and insulation re-
sistance tests between the internal power circuit and the metal body must not be done.
2) Short-circuit protection is not incorporated into the analogue voltage output.
Do not connect the power supply or capacitive load directly to the analogue voltage output.

OUTPUT MODE
● The output OFF mode, window comparator mode, hysteresis mode, integrated
output mode or integrated pulse output mode can be selected as the output mode
for comparative output 1 and comparative output 2. Refer to “Output mode and
threshold value setting mode” in “
8
MENU SETTING MODE
” for details.
Output OFF mode
● In this mode, the comparative output can always be OFF.
