CONDITIONS
Ambient Temperature:
General-purpose Use:
–40 to +55°C (–40 to +131°F)
Explosion proof type:
In the case of explosion proof type, read descrip-
tion of “ Ambient Temperature” “Enclosure” in
“HAZARDOUS AREA CLASSIFICATION”
*1: Minimum temperature should also be limited according
tominimumuidtemperatureofowtube’sspecica-
tion.
Read description of “Fluid Temperature and Pressure”.
*2: Indicator operating range: –20 to +55°C (–4 to +131°F)
Ambient Humidity: 0 to 100%
Lengthy continuous operation at 95% or more is not
recommended.

or less (frequency of 500 Hz or less)
Note: · Level of vibration is in conformity with IEC 60068-2-6
(SAMA 31.1-1980).
· Avoid locations with much vibration where the pipe
vibration frequency is 500 Hz or more. Such a condi-
tion may cause damage to the instrument.
