AUTO-REFERENCE FUNCTION (ONLY HIGH-FUNCTION TYPE)

 

● The  auto-reference  function 

corrects  the  set  value  using  the 
detected  pressure  value  during 
auto-reference input as the refer-
ence pressure.

 

● Using the detected pressure val-

ue  at  auto-reference  input  P(a) 
as  a  reference,  the  set  value

’ 

is automatically corrected to “set 
value

 + P(a)”.

Settable range and set pressure range after correction

 

● The  set  pressure  range  is  wider  than  the  rating  pressure  range  so  that  the  auto-

reference function can be handled.

If the corrected set value exceeds the set pressure range when auto-reference input 
is carried out, the set value will be automatically corrected to within the set pressure 
range. Thus, take care not to exceed the set pressure range.

Note:  The set values shift in the same manner during the EASY mode or the window comparator mode.

 

● The detected pressure value at auto-reference input becomes “zero” when the set-

ting of the external input selection function is changed or the power is turned ON 
again.

 

● The auto-reference input value can be checked when setting the threshold value in 

RUN mode. Refer to the threshold value setting in “

” for details.

REMOTE ZERO-ADJUSTMENT FUNCTION (HIGH-FUNCTION TYPE)

 

● The remote zero-adjustment function forcibly sets the pressure value to “zero” when 

the external signal is inputted.

The set value is not corrected when remote zero-adjustment is input. Make sure that the 
pressure and set value during remote zero-adjustment do not exceed the set pressure 
range.

selection is changed or the power is turned ON again, and normal operation based 
on the atmospheric pressure is resumed.

ERROR INDICATION

Error message

Cause

Corrective action

The  load  is  short-circuited  causing 

Turn the power OFF and check the load.

Pressure  is  applied  during  zero-
point adjustment.

Applied  pressure  at  the  pressure  port  should  be  brought  to 
atmospheric  pressure  and  zero-point  adjustment  should  be 
done again. 

External input is carried out outside 
the rated pressure range.

Applied  pressure  range  should  be  brought  within  the  rated 
pressure range.

Communication error
(Disconnection, faulty connection, etc.)

Check the wiring when using the copy function.

Communication error
(Incorrect model.)

when using the copy function.

The  applied  pressure  exceeds  the 
upper  limit  of  the  display  pressure 
range.

Applied  pressure  range  should  be  brought  within  the  rated 
pressure range.

The  applied  pressure  exceeds  the 
lower  limit  of  the  display  pressure

CAUTIONS

 

● This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.

 

● Use within the rated pressure range.

 

● Do  not  apply  pressure  exceeding  the  pressure  withstandability  value.  The  dia-

phragm will get damaged and correct operation shall not be maintained.

 

● 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.

 

● Extension  up  to  total  100m  or  less,  is  possible  with  more  than  0.3mm

2

  of  electric 

conductor cross-sectional area cable.

 

● In  case  of  using  this  product  as  a  CE  Marking  conformity  product,  the  wire  con-

nected to this product must be within 30m.

 

● Do not run the wires together with high-voltage lines or power lines or put them in 

the same raceway. This can cause malfunction due to induction.

 

 

● Avoid dust, dirt, and steam.

 

● Take care that the sensor does not come in direct contact with water, oil, grease, or 

organic solvents, such as, thinner, etc.

 

● Do  not  insert  wires,  etc,  into  the  pressure  port. The  diaphragm  will  get  damaged 

and correct operation 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.
