Operating values may differ from those shown above as a result of sealing depth and direction of mounting, piping conditions or variations among individual items, so take precautions when using at levels near the minimum and maximum values of the set rate.

Refer to front matters 8 and 9 for Safety Instructions and pages 89 to 89 for Precautions. Caution Mounting & Wiring. Mount the switch on top of horizontal pipe so that fluid is in the direction of the arrow. Sealing depth should be 9 mm ± mm for /B and mm ±. mm for B.. Mounting orientation is only allowed to install it perpendicularly to the horizontal pipe.. Provide a straight pipe portion that corresponds to approximately times the bore of the pipe before and after the area of the pipe on which the product is installed, thus keeping the product as far away as possible from the elements that disturb the, such as elbows or valves.. Three types of paddles, short, medium, and long, are provided with each model. Use one of them according to the pipe size and the set rate.. When installing a paddle on IF O type, piping may be interfered with by the tip of a paddle. Because this is used to detect a small rate, and to narrow the distance between a paddle and piping, additional machining of the paddle tip may be necessary to eliminate interference between the two.. Use pipe fittings that comply with JIS specifications. For / B to B, use commercially available union tees of different diameters. For B to B, use a B socket that has been cut in half and welded. 7. When using piping which is non-standard, piping may interfere with the paddle. When this happens, please machine the paddle accordingly. 8. It cannot be used when a water hammer or pulsation pressure is applied to the fluid.

Wire the microswitch according to the symbols on the upper insulators. (They will be opposite the terminal symbols on the microswitch. The terminals are screw terminals.). Threads used for the terminals are M type. Internal wiring diagram Caution Adjusting Symbol C A B Contact Common Normally Open Normally Closed. Flow adjustment is done by turning the adjusting screw with Phillips screwdriver. Turning clockwise can increase the set and turning counterclock can decrease the set.. Flow rate % relation to the number of turns is shown in the table below. However, this is just a guide. For precise setting use a meter. Flow adjusting screw (Rotations) 7 8 9 Contact ON- (%) 9 8 7 8 89 9 9 98. The rate setting point is set at the ON- rate. Therefore, in case of a contact, ON signal is output when the fluid with higher than the setting rate is n. In the case of the b contact, the ON signal is output when the rate has decreased. Refer to the rate characteristics table for details on the operation rate.. Do not touch the two types of stop screws that are indicated in the construction diagram.. To prevent the chattering that is associated with the fluctuation of the operating rate, set the difference between the set rate and the operating rate so that it is as large as possible.. Use at or below the maximum operating pressure and maximum rate. 7. Spare parts, medium, and long paddles are provided as a piece set with each model, so arrange them as indicated below. There is no compatibility between the paddle for a /" connecting bore and for a " because their installation pitches differ. Arrangement example: Paddle set for IF-- (Part numbers are not existent.)
