n Composition of this User’s Manual
FLXA402, a modular-designed converter, is a multi- parameter instrument oering a wide
range of measurement choices; such as: pH/ORP (oxidation-reduction potential), Resistivity/
Conductivity (SC), Inductive conductivity (ISC), Dissolved Oxygen (DO) – with the respective
sensor module.
This user’s manual contains general description and precautions of the instrument.
The table below shows user’s manuals to read concerning the instrument’s operation,
conguration, or calibration, which vary depending on its installation, wiring, and specication of

uRegulatory Compliance for Radio
and Telecommunication
l FCC Approval
FCC CAUTION
Changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own
expense.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
iii
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines. This equipment has
very low levels of RF energy that it deemed to comply without maximum permissive exposure
evaluation (MPE).
l IC Approval
This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES003.
Cet appareil numerique de la classe A est conforme a la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
This device complies with Industry Canada’s applicable license-exempt RSSs. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference; and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’ Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio
exempts de licence.
L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes:
(1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage;
(2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le
brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.
This equipment complies with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment and meets RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment
has very low levels of RF energy that it deemed to comply without maximum permissive
exposure evaluation (MPE). [*But it is desirable that it should be installed and operated keeping
the radiator at least 20cm or more away from person’s body.]
Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d’exposition aux rayonnements énoncées pour un
environnement non contrôlé et respecte les règles d’exposition aux fréquences radioélectriques
(RF) CNR-102 de l’IC. Cet équipement émet une énergie RF très faible qui est considérée
comme conforme sans évaluation de l’exposition maximale autorisée (MPE).
[*Cependant, il est souhaitable qu’il devrait être installé et utilisé en gardant une distance de 20
cm ou plus entre le radiateur et le corps human.]

1. INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION .................................. 1-1
The FLXA402 can work with the existing analog sensors*1 (pH/ORP, conductivity, inductive
conductivity, and dissolved oxygen).
The FLXA402 can additionally work with the SA11 SENCOM
sensors to provide measurements with digital sensors and multiple sensor connections
5 sensors.
For the transfer of diagnostic data and other device information to a host system, the FLXA402
supports the HART and MODBUS protocols. This solution also facilitates connection to the cloud
and the construction of an Industrial IoT (IIoT) environment, for improved eld maintenance.
For further information, see GS 12A01F01-01EN.
This manual describes how to use the FLXA402 with Yokogawa’s or other companies’ sensors.
Please read carefully this manual and the instruction manuals relevant to those sensors you use
before using this instrument.
*1: Analog sensors here represent sensors , PH8E�P, SC4AJ, ISC40GJ, DO30G etc., which are connectable when Model and
Sux codes -P1, -C1, -C5, -D1 are specied in 1st or 2nd input. However, when Type is “-DD” (NI for FM), -D1 (DO) cannot be
selected.
*2: When -S5 on 1st input is specied, up to 4 pH or SC sensors equipped with SA11 can be connected with a connection to BA11
Junction Box. However, when Type is -DD (NI for FM), -S5 (SENCOM SA) cannot be selected. (1st/2nd input)

during shipment. If damage is found, retain the original packing materials (including the outer
box) and then immediately notify the carrier and the relevant Yokogawa sales oce.
n Checking the model and sux code
Make sure the model and sux code on the nameplate axed to the left side of the housing.
Refer to
Apply correct power identied on the nameplate to the unit.
