The D6FZ-FGX21 Air Flow Station combined with the D6FZ- Series Air Flow Sensors
provides the measurement and recording of air flow, pressure and temperature at multiple
points. Individual integrated flow rate values are added to total sums, which can be checked
at operation sites. The Air Flow Station can be connected to up to eight Air Flow Sensor
units, whose momentary and integrated flow rate values can be independently recorded.
Flow rate data acquisition at operation sites now becomes easy, contributing to enhanced
energy-saving efficiency.
(2) Recording to an SD Memory Card
The measured data can be recorded in the Air Flow Station (D6FZ-FGX21). Data recorded
for approx. four hours at 1 second cycle can be accumulated in the internal memory when a
single Air Flow Sensor unit is connected, which enables the Air Flow Station to continue
recording even at an emergency network failure. The Air Flow Station allows its data
accumulated in the internal memory to be output to an SD memory card in CSV format
without stopping measurement, thus making continuous recording for long hours possible.
NOTE: The internal memory can store the data continuously recorded for up to minimum
approx. 30 minutes (at a recording cycle time of 2 seconds, when eight Air Flow Sensor
units are connected). Use an SD memory card for longer time of recording.
1. Product Overview
(3) Network Connection
The measured values obtained from multiple Air Flow Station units in a network can be
acquired to a PC connected via LAN cables by using the PC software (Multi Data Viewer
Light). The individual Air Flow Station and Air Flow Sensor units can be controlled from the
PC to check or change their settings as well as send recording start/stop instruction. (Refer
to the PC software "User's Manual" for details.)
(4) Graph Display and Data Processing Software
The data output to an SD memory card or recorded to a PC through network connection can
be displayed in graphs or processed online by using the PC software. The data items in
different periods can be combined or multiple Air Flow Station data can be displayed
simultaneously side by side on the screen. (Refer to the PC software "User's Manual" for
details.)
(5) Alarm Output
Alarm output terminals are provided on the Air Flow Station. An alarm is output when the
measured air flow rate exceeds the upper limit. This feature provides 'visualization' of the air
flow limit, allowing the operator to quickly handle errors.
Based on ultrasonic measurement, the Air Flow Sensor provides simultaneous
measurement of flow rate (momentary flow and integrated flow), pressure and temperature.
(2) Flexible Installation Regardless of Location
The capability of measuring air flow mixed with oil or mist provides the installation at various
locations such as behind the curve of a tube.
(3) Analog Output/Pulse Output
The analog output (of standard flow rate/pressure) and pulse output (of integrated flow rate)
from Air Flow Sensors are available for an environment where digital communication is not
possible.

■Switching Air Flow Sensor IDs
The following shows the procedure to switch the ID.
・A long press of the ▽ key in each measured value display switches the Air Flow Sensor
IDs in the ascending sequence.
・During a long press of the key, the ID display is switched from one to another at the
interval of 1 second.
・The integrated standard flow rate appears first whenever the ID is switched to another.
Note
・The "REC" indication turns ON during data recording.
・"ALM" turns ON when the measured value exceeds the upper and lower threshold range
or the alarm output is ON. To cancel the retained alarm, hold the MODE key.
5-4
5.4 Starting/Stopping Recording
5.4.1 Starting Recording
Hold the SET/REC/STOP key (for at least 3 seconds) in RUN mode to start air flow data
recording. The "REC" turns ON when recording starts.
The measured data is recorded and accumulated in the internal memory of the Air Flow
Station unit, and is output in a CSV file to the SD memory card when the SET/REC/STOP
key is pressed.
Important
・If recording starts with recorded data remaining in the internal memory, the remaining
recorded data is lost. To save the data, press the SET/REC/STOP key for less than 3
seconds to output the data to the SD memory card before recording.
・The integrated standard flow rate of the Air Flow Sensor unit is initialized to 0m3 when
recording starts.
Note
・An SD memory card must be placed in the Air Flow Station unit when the
SET/REC/STOP key is pressed for data output during recording, recording is stopped
or the internal memory becomes full. It is not necessarily the case at the point when the
unit starts recording.
Recording to the internal memory can be continued for the following:
The number of connected units is 1 and recording cycle is 1 second:
approx. 5200 data
The number of connected units is 8 and recording cycle is 2 seconds:
approx. 650 data
・Switching to other modes is prohibited during recording. Stop recording when other
mode than RUN mode should be entered.
5.4.2 Stopping Recording
5.Measurement and Recording
The Air Flow Station unit stops recording if the SET/REC/STOP key is held (for 3 seconds or
longer) during recording (i.e. the "REC" is ON). The data in the internal memory is output to
the SD memory card and "REC" turns OFF.
Important
・A write-enabled SD memory card must have been inserted in the slot when stopping
recording. If a data output attempt fails, an error is output and recording is stopped
without saving the data. To correct this, insert an SD memory card before resuming
recording and press the SET/REC/STOP key to output the data.
・The data accumulated so far is discarded unless it is output before starting recording.
5-5
5.4.3 Auto backup and restarting record setting
When this function is ON in FUN mode, if power turns off during the record, the recorded
measurement data before the interruption of power is backed up to SD memory card and
record is resumed after power is back. And the recording restarts.
Important
While this function is ON, insert the recordable SD memory card into the SD memory card
slot. If the SD memory card is not inserted at the time of power activation, the error which
shows what the output to an SD memory card went wrong will be displayed, and record
will stop.
5.5 Outputting File to SD memory card
Recorded data can be output to SD memory card files when any of the following cases
happen.
(a) The SET/REC/STOP is pressed (for less than 3 seconds) during recording.
Recording in the internal memory continues.
(b) The SET/REC/STOP key is held (for 3 seconds or longer) during recording.
Recording in the internal memory stops.
(Refer to "5.4.2 Stopping Recording")
(c) The internal memory becomes full during recording.
Recording in the internal memory continues.
(The recording mode must have been set to "Continue mode".)
(The factory default is set to "Continue mode". Use the PC software to switch the
recording mode.)
(d) The SET/REC/STOP key is pressed (for less than 3 seconds in RUN mode) during
non-recording process, when recorded data remains in the internal memory.
(e) The previously recorded data remains in the internal memory when the power is
supplied.
This refers to the case that the unit restarts after it is reset during recording due to a
power failure or the pressing of the reset switch.
5.Measurement and Recording
5.6 Cancelling Alarm
"ALM" turns on when the measured value is more than Hi threshold range, and between Cut
and Lo threshold, the alarm output turns ON.
To cancel the retained alarm, hold the MODE key (for 3 seconds or longer).
