PF2M7(-L) Series Set Point Range and Rated Flow Range Set the flow rate within the rated flow range. The set point range is the range of flow rate that can be set in the switch. The rated flow range is the range that satisfies the switch specifications (accuracy, linearity, etc.). It is possible to set a value outside of the rated flow range if it is within the set point range, however, the satisfaction of specifications can not be guaranteed.
PF2M7 ( -L ) Series Flow Rate Characteristics at Negative Pressure (Reference Data) When the PF2M series is used with negative pressure (–70 to 0 kPa), the measurable range (warranty range of the specifications including pressure characteristics) varies depending on the flow range. Select the flow range referring to the graph below.
