In cases such as those described below, where safety is required, implement measures to ensure the safety of the system and all devices, such as fail-safe designs, redundancy designs, and regular maintenance. • Safety devices for ensuring safety for persons • Transportation equipment control (such as applications to stop operation) • Aviation and space equipment • Nuclear power equipment Do not use the D6F for applications in which D6F operation would directly affect human life. Caution Make sure that the power to all equipment is turned OFF before you install the Sensor. Installing the Sensor while the power supply is ON may result in electrical shock or abnormal operation. Precautions for Correct Use ● Fluids, Pipes, and Sensor Installation All Models (1) Use clean fluids. Dust and mist can affect the characteristics of the Sensor or damage the Sensor. Install a filter and mist separator on the upstream pipe. (Not required for the D6FW@A1, D6F-V, D6F-P or D6F-PH.) (2) Do not use combustible gases (e.g., hydrogen), corrosive gases (e.g., chlorine, sulfur, acidic, or alkali gas), or other non-approved fluids. They may damage the Sensor. (3) The performance specifications that are given for the G6F do not apply if any fluids other than the specified applicable fluid are used. (4) Foreign matter in the pipes that are connected to the Sensor may damage the Sensor. Prevent any foreign matter from entering the pipes after the Sensor is removed from its packaging. (5) Attach the pipes so that fluid flows only in the direction designated by the arrows on the Sensor. Correct measurements cannot be obtained if the fluid flows in the wrong direction. (6) We recommend that you install the pipes horizontally. If the pipes are not installed horizontally, an error of ±1% FS or higher may result. (This does not apply to the D6F-03A3.) (7) Install the Sensor on a flat surface. Incorrect installation may damage the Sensor and make it impossible to obtain correct measurements. (8) After the Sensor is installed, check to confirm that it operates correctly. (9) Do not drop the Sensor, remove the cover, or attempt to disassemble the Sensor in any way. D6F-@A5-000 (1) Use M3 panhead screws to install the Sensor, and tighten them to a maximum torque of 0.59 N·m. (2) Install O-rings to seal the fluid inlet and outlet points. The recommended O-ring is JIS B 2401, nominal number P5. Do not use the Sensor in the following locations: • Locations directly subject to heat radiated from heating equipment • Locations subject to water or oil • Locations subject to direct sunlight • Locations subject to intense temperature changes • Locations subject to icing or condensation • Locations subject to excessive vibration or shock ● Countermeasures against Noise Noise may make it impossible to obtain correct measurements. Consider the following countermeasures. • Allow as much space as possible between the Sensor and devices that generates high frequencies (such as high-frequency welders and high-frequency sewing machines) or surges. • Attach surge absorbers or noise filters to noise-generating devices that are near the Sensor (in particular, equipment with inductance, such as motors, transformers, solenoids, and magnetic coils). (It also helps to separate pipes and ducts, and to use shielded cables.) ● Power Supply • Do not directly solder power supply leads to the connector terminals. Use only the appropriate connectors. • Wire with the correct terminal names and polarities. Incorrect wiring will cause failure of internal components. • When using a commercially available switching regulator, ground the FG (frame ground) and G (ground) terminals. RoHS Directive The RoHS mark is displayed on the packing of products for which the six substances banned by the RoHS Directive have been abolished (both in processing and in the electronic components mounted to the PCBs). * RoHS marking may be terminated if it is later determined that parts that were previously treated as RoHS compliant are not compliant due to circumstances at the supplier of the parts. ● RoHS Compliance Criteria The following standards are used to determine RoHS compliance for the six banned substances. (Items to which the RoHS Directive is not applicable are not given.) • Lead: 1,000 ppm max. • Hexavalent chromium: 1,000 ppm max. • Mercury: 1,000 ppm max. • PBB: 1,000 ppm max. • Cadmium: 100 ppm max. • PBDE: 1,000 ppm max.
