Notes on Model Selection Before installation and use, please read the notes and precautions in the user’s manual ● Do not use the product for gas that is within its explosive limits. Doing so may result in an explosion. ● If an abnormality in the controller is likely to result in damage, an appropriate redundant design should be used. ● If there is a possibility of foreign matter entering the device, install an upstream filter, strainer, or mist trap capable of eliminating foreign matter 0.1 μm or greater in diameter, and be sure to periodically inspect and replace the filter. ● When the device...
