3. Pipe Connections

You can select from one of two pressure ports: one on the back of the

sensor that can accommodate a pipe leading directly away from the back

of the sensor, and one on the side of the sensor to accommodate a pipe

leading away from the sensor at a right angle.

1) The pressure port is 1/8 of Rc (PT). Commercially available air pres-

sure joints and nipples can be used with the port.

When attaching the joint, use a wrench to hold the pressure port in

place as illustrated below.

Hold in place

with wrench

(12mm).

2) Attach the included valve plug to the pressure port not being used.

Hold in place with

wrench (12 mm).

hexagonal hole

CAUTION

• Do not use a torque in excess of 10 Nm when tightening the joint.

Doing so may damage the joint.

• Apply sealing tape when attaching the joint in order to prevent air leaks.

4. Mounting Brackets (option)

Dedicated mounting hardware is available for the sensor, allowing it to

be installed in a range of locations.

8. Sensor Configuration ■ Toggling the display + Current value Peak hold + Reference value* Bottom hold After 4 sec of no key operation. ■ Mode configuration ■ Manual configuration Settings are manually configured. The display changes for each mode. * Toggling the display of settings (see the diagram below). * Manual configuration only during F-3/A2 mode operation. Increase the setting. Decrease the setting.

Resetting the peak/bottom hold values/ for 3 seconds or more while the peak and bottom hold Pressing values are being displayed will reset the values. * The values will also be reset when power to the sensor is turned off, and when the device’s detection mode or operating mode is changed. 9. Explanation of Features ■ Switching the detection range (AP-C30/C35) The AP-C30/C35 allows you to select a detection range. Pressure type Range Display C30 Negative pressure 0 to -101.3 kPa 0 to -10.

11. Default Mode Settings (Initialization) 13. Ambient Pressure Compensation The sensor ships with the following configuration. AP-C30/C35 Open the applied pressure to the surrounding air so that it equals the ambient pressure and press the button for 3 seconds or more while the current value or reference value is being displayed. The ambient pressure point will be corrected. *1 Ambient pressure can be corrected within a range of ±5 % of F.S.
