Corrosive environment
Do not use this product in an environment containing
corrosive gases such as sulphur dioxide.
Fluid temperature
Keep the fluid temperature within 0 to 40°C.
Do not use this product where temperature suddenly
changes, even if ambient temperature is within
specifications. Otherwise, dew could form.
Maximum working pressure and specified flow rate
range
Applications exceeding the maximum working
pressure and specified flow rate range may result in
faults. Use this product only within the specified
range.
Drip-proof environment. Only the sensor conforms to IP64.
The sensor is dust-proof and drip-proof, so problems
do not occur if water gets on the sensor during
maintenance or cleaning. The sensor should not be
exposed to water for long periods or used in places
where water and oil scatter with force.
Design & Selection
Sensor and monitor combination
With the conventional PF4000/8000, the sensor and
monitor were used as a non interchangeable pair.
The PF500D, 1000D, 2000D, 4000D, 8000D, and 16000D
Series have independent sensors and monitors. Sections within the same model series can be interchanged.

This product is not to be used as a business meter.
This product does not conform to Measuring Laws,
and thus cannot be used for commercial purposes.
Use this sensor for industrial applications.
Compressed air or nitrogen can be used. Do not use other
fluids or the precision cannot be guaranteed.
Compressed air from the compressor contains
drainage – water, oil oxide, foreign substances, etc. –
so install a filter, air dryer, and oil mist filter on the
primary side (upper stream side) of the sensor. The
sensor's meshing rectifies flow in the pipe. It does
not filter out foreign substances, so provide a filter.

sensor damage, problems, and malfunctions, so
check wire color and terminal numbers against the
instruction manual before wiring.
Use a wire with the same or higher performance
than the 600 V vinyl wire for the power supply and
other wiring. Insert a noise filter if required.
2
Ground the FG terminal with Class 3 grounding
Ω or less). Do not use a common ground with
(100Ω

CAUTION
Check wiring insulation.
Check that wires do not contact other circuits and
that there are no ground faults or insulation faults
across terminals. Overcurrent could flow in and
damage the sensor.
4
Separate the monitor from high-voltage wires, high
voltage devices, and powered devices such as

1
This sensor can be installed vertically, horizontally, or
in any other position.

When adjusting the flow with a metering valve (globe
valve, ball valve, etc.), install the metering valve on the
secondary side of the sensor (downstream). If the
metering valve is installed on the primary side, drift
(turbulent flow) could occur and result in an error.
4
Do not install a regulator before the sensor (on the
primary side).
5
When using an elbow or bushing (up to 1 port size
rank difference) in piping for the PF16000E Series,
install a 10D or larger straight pipe on the upstream side and a 5D or larger straight piping
section on the downstream side. If there is no
straight piping section, drift (turbulent flow) could
occur and result in an error.

Selecting the element
When the load is a relay or solenoid,
recovery time is delayed. Connect the
circuit between loads when using a 24
or 48 V power voltage and across
contacts for a 100 to 200 V power
voltage for maximum effect.
The guide for C and R is:
C: 1 to 0.5 (uF) of the contact current 1 A
R: 0.5 to 1 (W) of the contact voltage 1 V.
These may not necessarily match due to
dispersion in load characteristics, etc.
Test the state while considering that C is
affected by discharge suppression when
the contact is opened, and R plays a role
in suppressing current when power is
turned ON next.
Generally, C should have a withstand
voltage between 200 and 300 V. When an
AC circuit is involved, use an AC capacitor
(no polarity).

Inductive
load
Energy accumulated in coils is passed
as current by the parallel diode, and
consumed as Joule heating by inductive
load resistance. Recovery for this takes
even longer than for CR.
Use a diode with a reverse withstand voltage
that is 10-fold or more than circuit voltage
and for which forward current is larger than
load current. If circuit voltage is not that high
for the electronic circuit, a diode with a
reverse withstand voltage 2 to 3 times larger
than the power voltage can be used.
This is effective when recovery of the
diode is too slow.
The Zener voltage of the Zener diode is
approximately the same as the power
voltage.

• It is usually more difficult to switch a DC induction load than to a resistance load, so performance can be increased to the same level as the resistance

The sensor section consists of a rectifier that passes
an even amount of compressed air, a heater temperature detection resistor with integrated heater,
and fluid temperature detection resistance for detecting fluid temperature.
When compressed air is not flowing, electricity flows
to the heater at the heater temperature detection
resistor to maintain it at a set temperature. When
compressed air flows, heat is lost in proportion to
the air mass, so current flows to the heater temperature detection resistor to maintain the set temperature.
The monitor receives a signal indicating the amount
of electricity that has flowed, and displays the air's
instantaneous and cumulative flows obtained by
converting to 0°C with practical atmospheric pressure.
The fluid temperature detection resistor measures
and compensates for the temperature of compressed air.

* 1: If foreign matter, moisture or oil is contained in the compressed air, detecting flow rate is failed, so " sensor error " is displayed.
Install a filter, refrigerating type dryer and oil mist filter before a flow sensor.
* 2: Same conditions as PF8000D; 0.7MPa, 20°C are applied.
* 3: If lower than min. flow rate range, 0 is indicated. Also, for indicated value under flow rate range, accuracy is not guaranteed.
* 4: Refer to descriptions of integrating pulse output on Page 1022 for details of pulse output.
* 5: 1D shows pipe inner diameter, so prepare 10D= approx. 530mm and 5D= approx. 265mm long strait piping section.
