Sensing Band
F03-16PE
CSM_F03-16PE_DS_E_1_7
• SUS316 used for core and polyethylene used for sheath to ensure high resistance to both acidic and alkaline liquids.
• Sensing Band Stickers that use the same material as the Sensing Band’s insulating resin are available in 2 types: adhesivetape type and screw type.
Indicates models that allow free cutting.

2. The F03-16PE Sensing Band is made from the following materials.
Core: SUS316
Insulated sheath: Polyethylene
3. In order to prevent secondary fire damage, consider the effect of the atmosphere of the environment and the solution to be detected on
the Sensing Band.
4. If the Sensing Band changes shape or color when a liquid is detected, replace the Sensing Band.

Connecting the Sensing Band
Bending the Sensing Band
Interval Between Stickers
To change the direction of the Sensing Band, bend the Sensing
Band in one or two places where the core is not exposed.
When securing the Sensing Band with Stickers, attach the Stickers
at intervals of 20 to 30 cm in places where the core is not exposed.
20 to 30 cm
Bent in 1 place
Bent in 2 places
Note: Bend the Sensing Band approximately 4 cm (i.e., twice the distance between places where the core is exposed) away from
places where a Sticker is attached. If the Sensing Band is bent
at places further away than this, the Sensing Band may come
away from the surface.
Stripping and Connecting Terminals
1. Cut into the Sensing Band approximately 4 to 6 cm in from the
end as shown in the diagram below.
2. Strip away approximately the last 9 mm of the sheath to expose
the core (SUS line).
3. To connect to the Terminal Block, insert the screwdriver (see note
3) from the top of the Terminal Block and insert the stripped end
of the core from the side. (Refer to Dimensions on page 2.)

Sticker
Note: 1. When using the F03-26PES (adhesive-tape model), be sure
to wipe all moisture, oil, and dust from the surface to which
the Sticker is to be attached. Failure to do so may result in
insufficient adhesion, and the Sticker may peel away from
the surface.
2. When using the F03-26PEN (screw model), before installing the Sensing Band, it is necessary to perform stud welding. For details on the pitch of the studs, refer to the
information on the dimensions of Sensing Band Stickers.
3. Commercially available screwdrivers can be used. It is recommended, however, that either a 210-350/01 screwdriver
or a 209-132 operating tool to connect jumpers, both manufactured by Wago Japan, is used. Contact http://www.wago.com.

FAQs
Some questions that are frequently asked about the K7L are given below. Use this information when selecting a model.
Can one K7L Amplifier be used for detection
in more than one place?
Yes.
By using Terminal Blocks to connect Sensing Bands in parallel,
detection can be performed in more than place with only one K7L
Amplifier.
Total: 400 m max.
Can a different terminal block (e.g. a
commercially available terminal block or a
terminal block constructed by the user) be
used instead of the one provided?
Yes.
When using another terminal block, however, be sure to check that
all the terminals are mutually isolated, and that there is no danger of
ground faults in connecting cables or Sensing Bands.

K7L-U
Can the K7L Amplifier detect pure water?
Yes.
Note: 1. When wiring, be sure not to exceed the maximum possible
wiring distances for both the connecting cable and the
Sensing Band. Exceeding these distances may lead to
faulty operation. Connect one Sensing Band to each Terminal Block.
2. Not applicable to the K7L-UD.
Even pure water, which has a resistance exceeding 10 MΩ⋅cm, can
nearly always be detected if the K7L is used at its maximum sensitivity. This is because impurities are mixed with the water when it is
leaked and the resistance drops.

Can the K7L Amplifier be used as a
replacement for the 61F-GPN-V50 Water
Leakage Detector?
Can the K7L Amplifier detect oil?
Yes.
Because the surge withstand capability is different, however, do not
use in locations where it will be exposed to impulses and surges,
such as outdoor roofs or in pump panels. Also, items such as the
power supply voltage and the connection sockets are different.
Check these items before application.
No.
