AP-41(M)/43/44

Separate amplifier-type pressure sensor

Faster response is achieved by reducing the total capacity of piping.

Two-color, LED digital display

High-intensity, two-color LED ensures high visibility. Four types of display patterns are selectable.

Chattering prevention function

The instantaneous drops in base pressure due to the activation of a large-bore ejector or other devices can be canceled. This eliminates the need for preparing a sequence program.

Automatic sensor head recognition function

When the power is turned on, the amplifier checks the sensor head connection automatically. A recognized sensor head type appears green on the display for 0.5 seconds.

Industry's smallest and lightest sensor head (AP-41M)

This sensor head with half the volume of conventional models weighs only 4.8 g, enabling flexible mounting.

Zero-shift function (AP-40Z)

The current pressure value can be reset to 0 at any time in order to prevent measurements from being affected by fluctuations in base pressure.

MOUNTING

AP-40/40Z/40P

As shown in the figure with "Amplifier accessories" on page 1, attach the mounting bracket to the amplifier with hexagonal socket bolts. The mounting bracket can be attached laterally according to the location.

CAUTION

To avoid breakage, limit the tightening torque for the hexagonal socket bolt to 0.3 N•m.

AP-41(M)/43/44

CAUTION

Limit the tightening torque for the screw hole of

the sensor head to 0.3 N•m.

 

Zero-point adjustment

At normal atmospheric pressure (1 atm.), press A for at least 2 seconds in measurement mode. The display changes to “----”, then to “0”. The zero adjustment function can be used when the pressure is within ±5% of F.S.

BASIC OPERATION

Basic operation (See also "ADJUSTMENT" on page 4.) <Example>

Checking the suction condition

1.Select F-3 (2-independent mode) and return to the measurement mode.

Refer to the setting in "Operation Mode" on the left-hand side of page 4.

2.Enter the target pressure value (A) and return to the measurement mode. (You can specify another target pressure value (b).)

Refer to the setting in "Preset Value Input Mode" on the right-hand side of page 4.

3.Start detection.

Base pressure control

1.Select F-4 (Window mode) and return to the measurement mode.

Refer to the setting in "Operation Mode" on the left-hand side of page 4.

2.Enter the upper (H) and lower (L) limit values of the allowable pressure and return to the measurement mode.

Refer to the setting in "Preset Value Input Mode" on the right-hand side of page 4.

3.Start detection.

ATTACHING A SPARE CONNECTOR

Use the spare connector to change the length of the sensor head cable. Cables as long as 10 m can be used.

1. If the connector cover is fitted into the connector body, open the cover.

2. Lift the end of the cover.

2.Cut a cable to the appropriate length and strip off the sheath for approximately 25 mm from the end.

Note 1: Do not allow the cable to protrude from the other end of the connector cover.

Note 2: Ensure that the cables are inserted as far as they will go. If the inserted length is insufficient, the press-fitting fails.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Be sure to follow the instructions below to avoid malfunctions.

CAUTION

Connection

When using a commercially available switching regulator, be sure to ground the frame ground terminals.

Isolate the sensor’s wiring from power lines or high-voltage lines; otherwise, the sensor may malfunction due to noise interference.

The amplifier becomes hot or breaks down due to improper wiring.

The press-fitting is available only once for each sensor head connector.

Notice about CE marking

Attach the ferrite core (OP-87505) if you extend a sensor head cable/ amplifier power cable to 3 m or more to use. (Attachment position: within 100 mm from the amplifier unit of a power cable, Number of turns: 2)

Other

Do not use the AP-40 Series for the detection of corrosive gases or liquid.

Do not insert any objects, such as wires, from the pressure port. The pressure-sensing element may break, resulting in malfunctions.

Do not press the front panel keys with a pointed object.

The AP-40 Series does not have an explosion-proof structure.

Do not use it for the detection of flammable gases.
