If the entering of foreign material to the fluid is possible, install and pipe the filter or the mist separator to
the inlet to avoid failure and malfunction.
Wiring
Do not pull the lead wires.
In particular, never lift a Pressure switch equipped with fitting and piping by holding the lead wires.
Otherwise damage to the internal parts can result, causing malfunction or to be off the connector.
Avoid repeatedly bending or stretching the lead wire, or placing heavy load on them.
Repetitive bending stress or tensile stress can cause the sheath of the wire to peel off, or breakage of the wire.
If the lead wire can move, fix it near the body of the product.
The recommended bend radius of the lead wire is 6 times the outside diameter of the sheath, or 33 times the
outside diameter of the insulation material, whichever is larger.
Replace the damaged lead wire with a new one.
Wire correctly.
Incorrect wiring can break the Pressure switch.
Do not perform wiring while the power is on.
Otherwise damage to the internal parts can result, causing malfunction.
Do not route wires and cables together with power or high voltage cables.
Otherwise the product can malfunction due to interference of noise and surge voltage from power and high voltage
cables to the signal line. Route the wires (piping) of the product separately from power or high voltage cables.
Confirm proper insulation of wiring.
Poor insulation (interference from another circuit, poor insulation between terminals, etc.) can lead to excess
voltage or current being applied to the product, causing damage.
Design the system to prevent reverse current when the product is forced to operate for operational check.
Depending on the circuit used, insulation may not be maintained when operation is forced, allowing reverse current
to flow, which can cause malfunction and damage the product.
Keep wiring as short as possible to prevent interference from electromagnetic noise and surge voltage.
Do not use a cable longer than 10 m.
Wire the DC(-) line(blue) as close as possible to the power supply.
When analogue output is used, install a noise filter (line noise filter, ferrite element, etc.) between the
switch-mode power supply and this product.
Environment
Do not use the product in area that is exposed to corrosive gases, chemicals, sea water, water or steam.
-6-
Do not use 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 in an area where surges are generated.
If there is equipment which generates a large amount of surge (solenoid type lifter, high frequency induction furnace,
motor, etc.) close to the Pressure switch, this may cause deterioration or breakage of the internal circuit of the
Pressure switch. Avoid sources of surge generation and crossed lines.
Do not use a load which generates surge voltage.
When a surge-generating load such as a relay or solenoid is driven directly, use a Pressure switch with a built-in
surge absorbing element.
The product is CE marked, but not immune to lightning strikes. Take measures against lightning strikes
in the system.
Mount the product in a place that is not exposed to vibration or impact.
Prevent foreign matter such as remnant of wires from entering the Pressure switch.
Take proper measures for the remnant not to enter the Pressure switch in order to prevent failure or malfunction.

Heat cycles other than ordinary changes in temperature can adversely affect the inside of the product.
Do not expose the product to direct sunlight.
If using in a location directly exposed to sunlight, shade the product from the sunlight.
Keep within the specified fluid and ambient temperatures range.
The fluid and ambient temperatures should be 0 to 50 °C. Operation under low temperature (5 °C or less) leads to
cause damage or operation failure due to frozen moist in the fluid or air.
Protection against freezing is necessary. Air dryer is recommended for elimination of drain and water.
Avoid sudden temperature change even within specified temperature.
Do not operate close to a heat source, or in a location exposed to radiant heat.
Otherwise malfunction can result.
Adjustment and Operation

Turn the power on after connecting a load.
Otherwise it can cause excess current causing instantaneous breakage of the Pressure switch.

Pressure Setting
■Measurement mode
The measurement mode is the condition where the pressure is detected and displayed, and the switch
function is operating.
This is the basic mode, and other modes should be selected for setting changes and other function settings.
Setting the ON and OFF points of the Pressure switch.

Operation
When the pressure exceeds a set point, the Pressure switch will be turned ON.
When the pressure falls below the set point by the amount of hysteresis or more, the Pressure switch will be
turned OFF.
The default setting of the output set value is the central value between the atmospheric pressure and the
