Note 1: The accuracy is the average value over 10 seconds (under conditions without bubbles). Also, F.S. refers to the full-scale flow rate.
Note 2: The time required to reach 70% of the original output when the flow rate is instantly reduced to zero from the steady (operating) flow rate.
Note 3: For allowable load, please refer to the wiring method page.
Note 4: This is the current when connected to 24 V DC with no load connected. Please note that the current consumption varies depending on the load connection status.
