Switching the detection range (AP-C30/C35)

The AP-C30/C35 allows you to select a detection range.

Focus mode (AP-C31/C31P/C33/C33P)

Focus mode increases all display resolutions by a factor of 10.

Normal mode Focus mode

The following focus center pressures can be selected for the models

noted in the table below. (Unit: kPa)

AP-C31/C31P

AP-C33/C33P

-20.0 / -30.0 / -40.0 / -50.0 / -60.0 / -70.0 / -80.0

200 / 300 / 400 / 500 / 600 / 700 / 800

The current value is displayed as ±20% of the F.S. range with the fo-

cus center pressure as the reference value (0).

■

Zero shift

Zero shift input forces the pressure at that time to be defined as zero.

This feature is useful in applications that require the detection of a cer-

tain amount of pressure fluctuation without being influenced by changes

in the original pressure.

(Example: leak testing)

Zero shift input received when a container is filled with air will allow the

amount of leak after a certain time to be displayed as negative pressure.

This approach eliminates the influence of small variations in the final fill

pressure of the container.

The pressure value (reference value) when zero shift input is received

can be verified from the current value display by pressing the

button

to switch to the reference value display.

* The pressure value of the focus mode is based on the selected center

pressure.

■

Peak/bottom hold display

The maximum (minimum) values are displayed continuously after power to the

sensor is turned on.

The active hold display indicated below is used when the A-1 mode is selected.

How to display hold values/

From current value/reference value display

+ /

Activates peak hold display.

+ /Activates bottom hold display.

The minimum value during zero shift input is displayed for the bottom

hold during A-2 mode operation.

Resetting the peak/bottom hold values/

Pressing

for 3 seconds or more while the peak and bottom hold

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.

●

During A-1 mode operation (active hold display)

The hold values are reset each time the pressure value exceeds (or falls

below) the setting, and the peak hold (bottom hold) will then vary from

this point.

Peak hold value: The peak hold value will be reset once a value is

encountered that exceeds setting P1, and new peak

values will be held from that point.

Bottom hold value: The bottom hold value will be reset once a value is

encountered that falls below setting P2, and new

bottom values will be held from that point.

■

Power-save

The value display will be turned off during power-save operation to re-

duce the amount of power consumed.

●

Use of any keys during eco mode operation will revert the sensor to

its normal display. The sensor will return to the eco display when

there is no key input for a period of 3 minutes.

■

Switching the display color

Corresponds to either output 1 or output 2 based on which setting dis-

play has been selected.

* rGr can only be set when either the F-1 or F-2 mode is selected.

Values that fall between the P1 and P2 settings will be displayed in

green, while values outside that range will be displayed in red.

■

Perform these steps first

• Select the setting display as indicated below before performing the

tuning procedures.

Active 2 point tuning: Select either P1 or T1 for the setting display.

Active 1 point tuning: Select P2 from the settings display.

• Connect the external signal to the zero shift input.

■

Active 2 point tuning / a tuning method suited for auto-

matically configuring suction pick-up detection pressures

The zero shift timer setting is manually configured, and the sensor auto-

matically selects the best pressure setting (P1) for this value.
