The internal pressure in the closed chamber could change 
iftheuidleaksinanaccident.Usethisproductinthe
control box with safety device to control internal pressure, 
or indoors with no pressure differential from the outside.
 
Do not install the product in completely sealed 
enclosure.
 Power supply voltage

range.Ifvoltageexceedingspeciedrangeisapplied,or
current power (100 V AC) is applied, circuit damage could 
occur.
 
Load short circuit
Do not short-circuit the load, or circuit damage could occur.
 
Incorrect wiring
Avoid incorrect wiring such as connecting to the wrong electrode 
of the power source, etc., or the circuit damage could occur.

instructions.
 Use this product in well ventilated location.
 Ventilate the work area when nitrogen gas is being used.
 Inspect piping regularly, so nitrogen gas does not leak.
 Non-corrosive gas is materials in the air (nitrogen, carbon 
dioxide) and inactive gas (argon, neon).
 To use for pressed air including water and oil, use 
PPD(3)-Stype(stainlessdiaphragmsensorspecications),
which has higher corrosion resistance.

Working environment
 
Avoid use in the place that vibration or shock not less than 
100m/s

 is applied.

Care must be taken in not exceeding ambient temperature 
range including piping area.
 
Do not use the product in locations that water or oil may contact the products.
 
Considering errors, etc. caused by precision/
temperature characteristics, decide the setting.
 
When a pressure switch is used for interlock signals 
requring high reliability, provide mechanical guards for a 
failure, or provide dual interlock as a switch (sensor) other 
than pressure switch. Conduct inspection regularly to 
check that the normal operation is done.
 
Care must be taken when this product is used in an 
interlock circuit.
 
Responsiveness is adversely affected depending 
on working pressure and capacity of loads. Install a 
regulator before the sensor if stable reproducibility 
is required.
 
Use conditions to comply with CE marking
 PPX Series is CE marked products complied with EMC 
directive. EN61000-6-2 regulation matched to immunity 
applies to this product. Conditions below are necessary to 
comply with these standards.
Conditions
  Length of power line connected to the sensor must be less than 10m.
 
ProvidealinelterinACpowerline.
 
Do not share power with an inverter or components 
causing motor noise, etc.
 
Remove noise from inductive load (such as solenoid valve 
and relay) with a surge suppressor such as CR or diode in 
the source side.
 
When using components (such as switching regulator 
and inverter motor) causing noise around the sensor 
installation section, ground a frame ground (F.G.) terminal 
of components.
 
Keep distance between a line connected to sensors and 
strongmagneticeld.
 
Connect to sensors with shield wire.
 
Connect shield wire to the ground of power side.
 
Take the following countermeasures to prevent 
malfunction caused by noise.
 
When the secondary side control pressure is 
released to atmosphere as air blow, pressure may 
uctuatedependingonpipingandblowconditions.
Execute a test under actual working conditions or 
contact to CKD.
