*1) For digital flow switch with the unit switching function (For the type without the unit switching function, fixed SI unit [L/min or L, m^3, m^3 × 10^3] will be set. )
*2) The flow rate display can be switched between the basic condition of 0°C and 101.3 kPa and the basic condition (ANR) of 20°C, 101.3 kPa and 65% RH.
*3) A straight section that is 8 times or more the pipe diameter should be provided to the pipe on the IN side of the product. If not, the accuracy may fluctuate by ±5% F.S. or more.
*4) It does not include lead.
*5) The accumulated flow rate value is reset when the power supply is turned off.
*6) Switch output and accumulated pulse output can be selected during the initial setting.
*7) Window comparator mode: Since the hysteresis (H) will reach 3 digits, separate P_1, P_2 or n_1, n_2 by 7 digits or more. (In the case of OUT2, n_1 and n_2 will become n_3 and n_4, and P_1 and P_2 will become P_3 and P_4.)
