Wire correctly.
Incorrect wiring can break the Pressure switch.
Do not perform wiring while the power is on.
Otherwise damage to the internal parts can result, causing malfunction.
Do not route wires and cables together with power or high voltage cables.
Otherwise the product can malfunction due to interference of noise and surge voltage from power and high voltage
cables to the signal line. Route the wires (piping) of the product separately from power or high voltage cables.
Confirm proper insulation of wiring.
Poor insulation (interference from another circuit, poor insulation between terminals, etc.) can lead to excess
voltage or current being applied to the product, causing damage.
Design the system to prevent reverse current when the product is forced to operate for operational
check.
Depending on the circuit used, insulation may not be maintained when operation is forced, allowing reverse current
to flow, which can cause malfunction and damage the product.
Keep wiring as short as possible to prevent interference from electromagnetic noise and surge voltage.
Do not use a cable longer than 10 m.
Wire the DC(-) line(blue) as close as possible to the power supply.

Set OUT2.
Set ON and OFF points of the supply pilot valve, and the range in which an input is not allowed. A

Operation of OUT2
Supply pilot valve: OUT2 is turned on by the signal for suction. Suction starts by the generation of vacuum
pressure.
When the vacuum pressure reaches the set value (P_1 ‐ H_3: OFF point of supply pilot valve signal),
the supply pilot valve is turned off.
After that, when the vacuum level decreases and reaches the suction switch ON point (P_1 + H_2: Supply
pilot valve signal ON point), the supply pilot turns on again to maintain the vacuum.
After the supply pilot valve is turned off, the vacuum pressure will decrease.
When the vacuum pressure reaches the suction switch ON point (P_1 + H_2: ON point of supply pilot
valve signal), the solenoid valve for supply will turn ON again and increase the vacuum pressure.
Afterwards, The supply pilot valve repeats this ON and OFF cycle.
Area in which setting of H_2 is prohibited can be set by the range in which H_4: supply pilot valve signal is
prohibited to input.
The default settings are P_1：-70.0 kPa, H_1:10.0 kPa, H_2:5.0 kPa, H_3:0.0 kPa, H_4:1.0 kPa

 How to stop energy-saving control function B
If a large amount of leakage is generated at the work piece adsorption surface, energy-saving control
frequently occurs (the valve is turned ON and OFF when the vacuum is generated / stopped). In order to
avoid this phenomenon, update the switch setting to stop the energy-saving control as shown below.

Normal energy-
saving control

How to stop energy-

saving function

Change of the switch setting

For stopping the energy-saving function, change the setting of H_3 to P_1 – H_3 ≦ –100.
Refer to page 25［F 2］OUT2 setting for the setting of H_3.

E.g.) In case of P_1…-60 kPa, enter 45 to H_3.

(The equation will be changed to P_1–H_3＝-60-45＝-105, so the vacuum pressure does not
reach the point where the energy-saving function is triggered.)
* The minimum value of P_1–H_3 is -105. Values less than that cannot be entered.
* When the P_1 value needs to be changed, change the value of H_3 every time to maintain the
equation P_1 – H_3 ≦ –100.
