Unit Center Pressure
* The current value is displayed as ±20% of the F.S. range with the
focus center pressure as the reference value (0).
■ Zero shift
Zero shift input forces the pressure at that time to be defined as zero.
This feature is useful in applications that require the detection of a cer-
tain amount of pressure fluctuation without being influenced by changes
in the original pressure.

(Example: leak testing)
Zero shift input received when a container is filled with air will allow the
amount of leak after a certain time to be displayed as negative pressure.
This approach eliminates the influence of small variations in the final fill
pressure of the container.
The pressure value (reference value) when zero shift input is received
can be verified from the current value display by pressing the button
to switch to the reference value display.
(
⇔ )
Press the button once more to return to the current value display.
■ Analog output
A voltage corresponding to the pressure value is output.
* Ambient pressure compensation is also applied to analog output.
Head 1 V to 5 V
AP-41/41M 0 to -101.3 kPa
AP-43 0 to +1 MPa
AP-44/48 -101.3 to +101.3 kPa
* The resolution of analog voltage output will not be enhanced during
focus mode operation.
■ Peak/bottom hold display
The maximum (minimum) values are displayed continuously after power to
the sensor is turned on.
The active hold display indicated below is used when the A-1 mode is selected.
How to display hold values/
From current value/reference value display
+ / Activates peak hold display.
+ /Activates bottom hold display.
The minimum value during zero shift input is displayed for the bottom
hold during A-2 mode operation.
Resetting the peak/bottom hold values/
Pressing for 3 seconds or more while the peak and bottom hold
values are being displayed will reset the values.
*The values will also be reset when power to the sensor is turned off,
and when the device's detection mode or operating mode is changed.
■ Power-save
The value display will be turned off during power-save operation to re-
duce the amount of power consumed.
● Use of any keys during eco mode operation will revert the sensor to
its normal display. The sensor will return to the eco display when
there is no key input for a period of 3 minutes.
■ Switching the display color
Corresponds to either output 1 or output 2 based on which setting dis-
play has been selected.
* rGr can only be set when either the F-1 or F-2 mode is selected.
Values that fall between the P1 and P2 settings will be displayed in
green, while values outside that range will be displayed in red.

■ Perform these steps first
Select the setting display as indicated below before performing the
tuning procedures.
Active 2 point tuning: Select either P1 or T1 for the setting display.
Active 1 point tuning: Select P2 from the settings display.
■ Active 2 point tuning / a tuning method suited for auto-
matically configuring suction pick-up detection pressures
The zero shift timer setting is manually configured, and the sensor au-
tomatically selects the best pressure setting (P1) for this value.

12. Ambient Pressure Compensation
Open the applied pressure to the surrounding air so that it equals the
ambient pressure and press the
button for 3 seconds or more while
the current value or reference value is being displayed.
The ambient pressure point will be corrected.
● During A-1 mode operation (active hold display)
The hold values are reset each time the pressure value exceeds (or falls
below) the setting, and the peak hold (bottom hold) will then vary from
this point.
Peak hold value: The peak hold value will be reset once a value is
encountered that exceeds setting P1, and new peak
values will be held from that point.
Bottom hold value: The bottom hold value will be reset once a value is
encountered that falls below setting P2, and new
bottom values will be held from that point.
