■Definition and terminology

Terms Meaning

7

7-segment indication

When "8" is shown on the display. It is called 7-segment because 8 consists of 7
pieces of "- (segments)".

Auto preset

A function of the Pressure switch to automatically setup pressure just by having
equipment hold and release a workpiece via vacuum adsorption. This function is
used in an application where vacuum adsorption of a workpiece needs to be
confirmed with a Pressure switch.

Auto shift

A function to correct the set value of the switch output in accordance with the
applied pressure in case the switch operation is unstable due to pulsation of
applied pressure. This function is used in applications such as vacuum
adsorption. The pressure when a signal is externally input is set as a reference
value with which the pressure that turns the switch on or off can be shifted.

A

Automatic identification
function

This function is enabled only when all connected sensors are PSE530 series.
(If just one is a different sensor, malfunction can result.)
The pressure range of the connected sensor is automatically identified and set.

B

Bottom value indication
(mode)

Shows the minimum pressure reached at that moment.

Channel scan (function)

The function to display the displayed values from CH1 to CH4 in order every two
seconds.

Chattering

The phenomenon caused in the switch output type in which the output turns on
and off repeatedly at high frequency.

Chattering-preventing
function

A function to delay the response time of switch output in order to prevent
chattering.

C

Copy between channels

The function to copy the settings of any channel (pressure and other initial setting
items) to other channels.
If the copy is performed from a one output channel (= CH2, CH3 and CH4) to a two
output channel (= CH1), it will not be applied to the setting of the second output of
the two output channel.

D

Digit (Min. setting unit)

Shows how precisely the pressure can be indicated or set by the digital Pressure
switch. When 1 digit = 1 kPa, the pressure is given with an increment of 1 kPa,
e.g., 1, 2, 3, …, 99, 100.

Direct output

One of the switch output types, and means the operation in which a switch is
turned on when pressure equal to the switch output set value or less is detected.
In the (hysteresis mode) window comparator mode, it indicates the operation in
which a switch is turned on when pressure outside the switch output range (n1L to
n1H or n2L to n2H) is detected.
(Refer to "List of output mode" on page 20.)

E

Error indication

With the self-diagnosis function given to the Pressure switch, it indicates that
there is a failure which could cause a switch failure.

Terms Meaning

Fine adjustment mode Refer to "Fine adjustment of indicated value".

Fine adjustment of indicated
value (function)

An indicated pressure value can be adjusted within the range of ±5% R.D.
(±5% of the indicated value). It is used if a true pressure value is known or to
correct the difference of an indicated value of the measurement equipment
nearby that measures the same pressure as the Pressure switch.

F

F. S.
(full span/full scale)

Abbreviation for full span and full scale; means the maximum fluctuation range of
the Pressure switch rated value. For example, when the output voltage is 1 to
5[V], the F.S. will be 5-1 = 4[V]. (Reference: 1%F.S. = 4 × 0.01 = 0.04[V])

H Hysteresis Difference between the points at which the Pressure switch is turned on and off.

Indication accuracy Shows the deviation between displayed pressure value and the true pressure.

Indication light The light that turns on when the switch output is on.

Indication resolution

How fine the rated pressure range can be segmented. (Example: If a product for 0
to 1 MPa can indicate pressure by 0.001 MPa, the indication resolution is 1/1000.)

Indication unit The unit of pressure used in the display.

Initial setting (mode)

The mode to set the items other than pressure.
Pressure range, display color, operation mode, output format, response time and
auto-preset can be set.

I

Insulation resistance

Insulation resistance of a product itself. The resistance between an electric circuit
and a body.

K Key lock (function) Prohibits a change in the setting of the Pressure switch (locks button operation).
