Operating environment
- Do not use in an environment where corrosive gases, chemicals, sea water, water or steam are
present.
These can cause failure or malfunction.
- Do not use the product in a place where the product could be splashed by oil or chemicals.
If the product is to be used in an environment containing oils or chemicals such as coolant or cleaning solvent,
even for a short time, it may be adversely affected (damage, malfunction, or hardening of the lead wires).
- Do not use the product in an area where surge is generated.
When there are machines or equipment that generate large surge near the pressure switch (magnetic type lifter,
high frequency inductive furnace, motor, etc.), this can result in deterioration and damage of the internal
elements. Take measures against the surge sources, and prevent the lines from coming into close contact.
- Do not use a load which generates surge voltage.
When a surge-generating load such as a relay or solenoid is directly driven, use the product with a surge
absorbing element built-in.
- Take measures against surge voltages due to lightning strikes in the system.
The product is CE marked but not immune to lightning strikes, so take measures against lightning strikes.
- Be aware of excessive surrounding noise
The product is CE marked and has passed the EMC test, but excessive noises in the surrounding area may
affect the functioning of the product.
- Mount the product in a location that is not affected by vibration or impact.
Failure and malfunction can occur.
- Do not let foreign matter, such as wire debris, get inside the product.
In order to avoid failure and malfunction, do not let foreign matter, such as wire debris, get inside the product.
- Do not use this product in places where there are cyclic temperature changes.
Heat cycles other than ordinary changes in temperature can adversely affect the inside of the product.
- Do not use where the product is exposed to direct sunlight.
Shade the sunlight in locations where the product is exposed to direct sunlight.
Failure and malfunction can result.
- Keep within the specified operating fluid and ambient temperature range.
The operating fluid and ambient temperature range is 5 to 50oC. Operation under low temperature may lead to
damage or operation failure due to frozen moisture in the fluid or air.
Protection against freezing is necessary. Mounting of an air dryer is recommended for elimination of drainage
and water.
Avoid abrupt temperature changes even within the specified temperature range.
- Do not use in a location where the product is exposed to radiant heat from surrounding heat sources.
This can cause operating failure.
Adjustment/Operation
- Connect a load before turning the power supply on.
If the power supply is turned on with no load, over current may flow, causing the pressure switch to break
instantly.
- Do not short circuit the load.
An error is displayed when the load of the pressure switch is short circuited, but over current may flow, causing
damage to the pressure switch.
- Do not press the setting buttons with a sharp pointed object.
This may damage the setting buttons.
- If using the product to detect very small pressures, warm up the product for 10 to 15 minutes first.
There will be a drift on the display of approx. 1% for 10 minutes after the power supply is turned on.
- Perform settings suitable for the operating conditions.
Incorrect setting can cause operation failure.
For details of each setting, refer to the Operation Manual of the pressure switch.
- Do not touch the LED during operation.
The display can vary due to static electricity.
