Operating Precautions
①The applicable media are gases/liquids compatible with 17-4PH(Equivalent to SUS630). So please be careful about compatibility with applicable media. Use of corrosive fluid may
cause injury and/or malfunction of products. In addition, the product is not explosive-proof. Never use flammable fluid as media.
②Maintain the measuring pressure within the pressure range as stated in specifications. Pressures exceeding the maximum pressure rating may cause product failure.
③Do not press the diaphragm with a hard object. It may cause abnormal output or malfunction.
④Use a stable DC power supply. When using a switching power supply, please do so with the frame ground terminal installed. For inductive loads such as relays and solenoids, put
voltage surge protectors (diodes, varisters, etc.) in the circuit.
⑤Cable wiring should be conducted in the state of power OFF. Shorting the output terminal and power terminal will damage the internal circuit. Please be careful not to wire
incorrectly.
⑥When using the supplied M12 connector cable, tighten fitting by hand(Tightening torque:0.6[N・m])after fully inserting the connector. If the tightening and inserting is inadequate,
the product may fail to meet the specified IP. In addition, the use of pliers may cause damage to the fitting.
⑦In the insertion and removal of the connector, please check the direction of key slot and do so with the product and connector grabbed tightly. Inadequate insertion and/or removal of

⑩Please note that bending the connector cable at the near end part may lower the waterproof function and cause damage to the product.
⑪In piping, please do so with the hexagonal portion of the fitting grabbed tightly. Tightening by grabbing only case or connector may cause damage.
⑫Be careful about the possibility that the medium may become frozen. The freezing of the medium in the pressure port can cause damage.
