Install the filter upper flow/Inlet to clear some piece of metal or small objects if needed.
Remove the bubbles in the fluid for accurate measurement of flow rate.

Packaging and carrying

Do not drop ,Handle with care otherwise The flow meter could damage or cause malfunctioning.

Installations

Mind your fingers while plumbing a sensor or you could get injured.

Maintenance

Contact us for overhauling, adjusting or repairing. Please make sure not to touch an electronic substrate inside of flow meter.
Only a person who has technical knowledge and experiences could do plumbing, wiring, maintenance or overhauling.
while installation or maintenance please shut off the power and water supply for your safety.

Others

Please contact us if you received damaged or deformed product.

Configuration and Dimensions

The electric circuit, substrate, is attached on a wetted part of the body which is covered with a cover. You find a rotary switch inside the cover, and a cables for interface on the side.

Wiring (interface)

【Cable functions】

Sign	Color	Name	Direction	Characteristic	Output selection	Operation and usage
CC	Red	Connect＋		DC24V±10％		Connect +side of power supply. Supply +24V to JPSW.
G	Black	Connect－				Connect -side of power supply. It is GND(0V) of JPSW.
ALM	White	Switch output		Photo Coupler( A )		Alarming signal to equipment. (A) flow rate ≧ alarm value : ON flow rate ＜ alarm value : OFF

When setting 0L/min, it will be OFF ON, not in the water flow in the water flow detection.

Output signal

Switch output

The diagram below shows how to put a load of switch output. There is no polar character within the range in rating voltage or current.

Photo Coupler output

Caution
Use relay with internal diode or external diode(D) to prevent damaging Photo Coupler from back electromotive force as above when you use relay load.
E.g. V03C(HITACHI)

Procedures

The diagram below shows a control panel on the top of the body

Take off the cap
Set the value with rotary switch
LED light confirms the Deviation from set value.

【Power on】

This equipment does not have a switch to power on.
Connect a red wire,+V and black wire,0V with 24V then it starts to measure.
Alarm outputs and LED will be on.

Switch settings

Table: Explains definition of switch output and LED.

witch output and LED

Switch Measuring value	A
More than set value	GRN ON ON
Less than set value	RED ON OFF

A internal circuit of switch output is Photo Coupler. ON: conduction and OFF:
No conduction

Do not use metallic screw driver to rotate or press to set. Use a insulating material, for example a plastic screw driver.

Indication of divisions

Connections

At the time of shipment adapters and quick fastener has enclosed separately.

Adapter is Rc3/8 female. Keep the adapter hold and screw the fitting.

When you install our product between the hard plumbing, use hose or flexible tube to keep the center core straight.
Insert an adapter into a body. There is O ring, P14, around the adapter. Please pay attention to attach properly with no any particle in between.
Put quick fastener on the adapter until the adapters are locked between the gap of the fastener. Make sure it is tightly locked.

And vice versa

A straight pipe length needs min. 7D on upper stream and 5D on 　 down stream to keep the accuracy.
Please do not do the plumbing (Put and orifice) sudden changes in the size of piping upstream.
Install valves, bifurcations, gages etc. on down stream.
D=adapter size, 5L: 4.1mm, 10L: 5.8mm, 30L: 10mm
Please beware of the direct load/pressure on the flow meter (PPS). It could cause leaking or damages.
Do NOT grab or press the cover very hard when you are connecting(plumbing)
