D6F-PD6F-P
Safety Precautions
■Caution
The D6F is built for use with general-purpose devices. In particu-
lar, when using the D6F for applications with the safety require-
ments described below, take steps to ensure system and device
safety through measures such as fail-safe designs, redundant
designs, and regular inspections. The D6F-P is not suitable for: or
if that is too strong of a statement, something like:
"Particular attention should be paid to applications including, but
not limited to, the following:
• Safety devices for ensuring safety for persons.
• Transportation equipment control (such as applications to stop
operation)
• Aviation and space equipment
• Nuclear power equipment
Do not use the D6F for applications in which D6F operation would
directly affect human life.
■Precautions for Correct Use
Fluids, Piping, and Sensor Installation
1. Do not use combustible gas (such as hydrogen) or corro-
sive gas (such as chlorine, sulfur, acid, or alkali) other than
the specified applicable fluids. Doing so may cause product
failure.
2. The specified performance may not be obtained if the D6F
is used for fluids other than the specified applicable fluids.
3. After removing the Sensor from the package, do not allow
foreign particles to enter the piping. Foreign particles in the
piping may cause product failure.
4. It is recommended that the pipes be mounted horizontally.
If they are not mounted horizontally, an error of ±1% FS or
higher may result.
5. Install the Sensor on a flat surface. Incorrect installation
may cause malfunctions or may make it impossible to
obtain correct measurements.
6. Turn OFF the power supply to the system before installing
the Sensor. If the Sensor is installed while the power supply
is ON, electric shock or incorrect operation may occur.
7. Always check operation after installing the Sensor.
8. Do not drop the Sensor or disassemble the cover.
9. Depending on the environment and the mounting position,
foreign objects, such as dust or dirt, may enter into the Sen-
sor and partially or completely block the flow path. If this
occurs, the Sensor may not be able to sufficiently perform
as described above. Make sure that you understand how to
use the Sensor and test it in advance with the actual equip-
ment with which it is to be used.
10.Install the piping so that the fluid flows in the direction from
plus (+) to minus (-). Correct measurements cannot be
obtained if the fluid flows in the wrong direction.

1. When installing the Sensor on a PCB, solder the terminals
after first securing the Sensor to the PCB.
2. Install the Sensor using M2.6 panhead screws or tapping
screws of the same diameter, and tighten them to a torque
of 0.59 N•m maximum.
<D6F-0010AM2>
1. Install the Sensor using M3 panhead screws or tapping
screws of the same diameter, and tighten them to a torque
of 0.59 N•m maximum.
2. Use O-rings to seal the fluid inlet and outlet sections. (Rec-
ommended O-ring: JIS B 2401 bearing number P4 or ISO
3601-1 Dicignation: A0037G)
Installation Example
O-rings are not attached.
Operating Environment
Do not use the Sensor in the following locations:
• Locations subject to direct radiant heat from heating equipment
• Locations subject to water or oil
• Locations subject to direct sunlight
• Locations subject to sudden temperature changes
• Locations where there is a possibility of icing or condensation
• Locations subject to strong vibration or shock
Countermeasures Against Noise
Noise may make it impossible to obtain correct measurements.
Consider the following countermeasures.
• Install the Sensor as far as possible from devices that gener-
ate surges or strong high frequencies (such as high-fre-
quency welders and machines).
• Attach surge absorbers or noise filters to noise-generating
devices that are near the Sensor (in particular, equipment
with inductance, such as motors, transformers, solenoids,
and magnetic coils). (It also helps to separate pipes and
ducts, and to use shielded cables.)
Power Supply
• Use the applicable connectors. Directly soldering the connec-
tion terminals will cause product failure.
• Check the terminal names and polarity and wire the power sup-
ply correctly. Incorrect wiring will cause failure of internal com-
ponents.
• When using a commercially available switching regulator,
ground the FG (frame ground) and G (ground) terminals.
■RoHS Directive
The RoHS mark is displayed on the packing of products for which
the six substances banned by the RoHS Directive have been
abolished (both in processing and in the electronic components
mounted to the PCBs).
Note: RoHS marking may be deleted if it is later determined that
parts that were previously treated as RoHS compliant are
not compliant due to circumstances at the supplier of the
parts.
RoHS Compliance Standards
The following standards are used to determine RoHS compliance
for the six banned substances.
• Lead: 1,000 ppm max.
• Hexavalent chromium: 1,000 ppm max.
• Mercury: 1,000 ppm max.
• PBB: 1,000 ppm max.
• Cadmium: 100 ppm max.
• PBDE: 1,000 ppm max.
