Setting completed. (proceeds to measurement mode)
Set values are stored in the EEPROM and not lost when
the E8F is turned OFF. If the Up Key is pressed in mea-
surement mode, the set ON point will be displayed for
two seconds. If the Down Key is pressed instead, the set
OFF point will be displayed for two seconds.
(1) (2) ON/OFF Point Settings
ON point value > OFF point value: The E8F will be in hysteresis
mode.
ON point value < OFF point value: The E8F will be in wind mode.
ON point = OFF point: No ON/OFF operation is possible.
Note:
The ON and OFF points are both set to 30 before shipping.

Error Indication
LCD
Meaning
Remedy
E1
The ON/OFF output and error output transistor have excessive current.
Change the load to a proper one.
E2
No zero point adjustment is possible when the ZERO Key is pressed
because pressure is imposed on the pressure port.
Eliminate the pressure imposed on the pressure
port.
E3
Excessive pressure is imposed on the pressure port.
Reduce the pressure to the rated value or less.
E4
Reversed pressure is imposed.
Do not impose reversed pressure.
E5
The Sensor has a failure.
Contact your OMRON representatives.
E6
The voltage imposed on the Sensor is not within the rated value.
Impose the voltage within the rated value.
Note:
1. If the load is short-circuited or excessive current flows to the load, the green indicator will flash and the ON/OFF output and error
output will be turned OFF.
2. If there is an error other than a load short-circuit or excessive current error (i.e., E2 to E6), the green indicator will be turned OFF and
the error output transistor will be turned ON. Therefore, nullify the ON/OFF output at the time of error detection.
Zero Point Adjustment
Usually, no zero point adjustment is necessary. If the zero point
should shift due to secular changes (i.e., a value other than 00 is dis-
played with no pressure imposed), press the ZERO Key for zero
point adjustment.
Perform zero point adjustment with no pressure imposed.
ON/OFF Set Value Check on E8F in Operation
Press the Up Key to check the ON set value.
Press the Down Key to check the OFF set value.
Mounting
The zinc die-cast pressure leading part incorporates an R(PT) 1/8
taper screw and M5 x P0.8 female screw. The taper screw must be
used in combination with an Rc(PT) 1/8 female taper screw.
Apply sealing tape around the taper screw so that there will be no
pressure leakage. Make sure that the tightening torque of the taper
screw is 9.8 N � m (100 kgf � cm) or less.
Make sure that the tightening torque of the M5 female screw is
2.3 N � m (23 kgf � cm) or less.
When tightening the male screw, apply a 12-mm wrench to the hex-
agonal portion of the pressure port. Do not tighten the male screw
while holding the plastic case.
When attaching the mounting bracket to the E8F, make sure that the
tightening torque applied to the M2.5 screw is 0.29 N � m (3 kgf � cm)
or less.

No corrosive or flammable gas can be used.
Filter the gas with an appropriate air filter so that the applied gas will
be free of moisture or oil.
Make sure that the pressure applied is within the rated range.
If the silicone diaphragm is damaged, the E8F will not operate prop-
erly. Do not insert a screwdriver or steel wire into the interior of the
pressure-sensitive parts through the pressure leading part.
The E8F has a display error of ±3% FS ±1 digit at the time of ON or
OFF point setting at room temperature. If a highly precise pressure
setting is required, use a manometer.
Nullify the ON/OFF output at the time of error detection.
If the use of the E8F requires the IP66 enclosure rating (e.g., wash-
ing the E8F with water), be sure to connect a standard silicone tube
to the atmosphere inlet. The silicone tube must have a 2-mm inner
diameter and 4-mm outer diameter.
Reset Time:
The E8F is ready to operate within 200 ms after the E8F is turned
ON.
Make sure that the Sensor is free from ultrasonic vibration when
mounting the E8F.
Others:
If no linear or error output is used, cut off the black and orange lead
wires and apply insulation tape to the lead wires so that they will not
come in contact with any other terminal.
