A high measurement accuracy of ±0.5% F.S. is achieved
at a low flow rate of less than 50 L/min.
This allows you to identify the air flow that is discarded
as leakage when machines are not operating to save money.
Zero Reset
You can use the zero reset to identify seasonal
or day/night variations in the flow rates.
Display Reversal
You can reverse the display direction to

In the Office:
Data storing and
analyzing
on a computer
By stopping the supply of compressed air with a solenoid valve when there
is no workpiece, compressed air usage is reduced. At the same time, the
Flow Sensor monitors the quantity of supplied compressed air to ensure
that it is within the specified range. Therefore, the Sensor helps maintain
and improve quality.
By giving priority to the monitoring of molding machines and
other machines that use large quantities of compressed air,
energy is efficiently saved.
Set the leak threshold value to identify when
repairs for leaks are required.
Monitor consumption and pressure fluctuations for each
production line to identify bottleneck lines or machines to
implement onsite improvements and save energy.

*1. Up to 8 Sensors can be connected when the recording cycle is 2 seconds or longer; up to 4 Sensors can be connected when the recording
cycle is 1 second.
*2. Data is automatically written to the SD memory card when the internal memory reaches its capacity and recording continues until the SD
memory card capacity is reached. Recording stops if there is no SD memory card inserted, when the internal memory capacity is reached, or
when the SD memory card is write protected. (Recording can be resumed after inserting an SD memory card and outputting the data to it by
pressing a button.) The default is Continue Mode. Use the PC Software to change the recording mode.
*3. Recording of the latest measured values continues until the internal memory reaches its capacity. (If the internal memory capacity is exceeded,
data is overwritten from the oldest data in the memory.)
*4. An alarm is output when the upper or lower limit of the air flow that was set in threshold setting mode is exceeded.
*5. You can temporarily read and write data with an SD card that complies with SD/SDHC card standards and was made by another company,
but the SD card may suddenly not be recognized, preventing you from accessing the data.
*6. When mounting the Sensor with magnets, be sure to install it in a location where it will not be subjected to shock.
