*1 To ensure stable detection, it is recommended to use a pipe inner diameter that is at least equivalent to the inner diameter of this product.
*2 Gases that transmit ultrasonic waves. Measurement may be unstable due to the pressure inside of the pipe and the type of gas.
*3 This value is guaranteed by KEYENCE inspection facilities. Errors will be introduced by factors such as the condition and type of pipes as well as the temperature and type of gas.
*4 This specification is valid when sufficient straight sections of pipe are provided and the flow velocity distribution is stable. This value does not take into account the effects of fluctuations in flow velocity distribution due to facility factors.
*5 Accuracy improves with longer response times. As a rule, this is by a proportion of √(250 ms/response time)x.

*1 5 ms is added to the analog output response time and the response is set to 63%.
*2 IO-Link: Compatible with specification v1.1/COM3 (230.4 kbps).
*3 190 mA or less with the load included.
*4 The ambient temperature to use varies depending on the number of adjacent cable type/M12 connector type units or depending on the number of expansion zero line type units added to the system. For 1 or 2 units, the temperature is 55°C 131°F. For 3 to 5 units, the temperature is 50°C 122°F. For 6 to 8 units, the temperature is 45°C 113°F. The prescribed values for the ambient temperature assume that the amplifier unit has been mounted on a DIN rail installed on a metal surface. Exercise special care when installing the product in an airtight space.
*5 Ensure the cable length is 30 m 98.4' or less (20 m or less when using IO-Link) for the M12 connector type.
*6 To use the zero line type, connect it to the FS-MC8N/P, NU Series.
*7 This counts as 2 outputs/2 inputs when connecting multiple units to the FS-MC8N/P, NU Series.
