Safety Instructions
These safety instructions are intended to prevent hazardous situations and/or
equipment damage.
These instructions indicate the level of potential hazard with the labels of
"Caution", "Warning" or "Danger". They are all important notes for safety and must
be followed in addition to International standards (ISO/IEC) and other safety
regulations.
CAUTION indicates a hazard with a low level of risk which, if
Caution:
not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
Warning:
WARNING indicates a hazard with a medium level of risk
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
DANGER indicates a hazard with a high level of risk which, if
Danger:
not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
Operator
This operation manual is intended for those who have knowledge of machinery
using pneumatic equipment, and have sufficient knowledge of assembly,
operation and maintenance of such equipment. Only those persons are
allowed to perform assembly, operation and maintenance.
Read and understand this operation manual carefully before assembling,
operating or providing maintenance to the product.
Safety Instructions
Warning
Do not disassemble, modify (including changing the printed circuit board) or repair.
An injury or failure can result.
Do not operate the product outside of the specifications.
Do not use for flammable or harmful fluids.
Fire, malfunction, or damage to the product can result.
Verify the specifications before use.
Do not operate in an atmosphere containing flammable or explosive gases.
Fire or an explosion can result.
This product is not designed to be explosion proof.
If using the product in an interlocking circuit:
•Provide a double interlocking system, for example a mechanical system.
•Check the product regularly for proper operation.
Otherwise malfunction can result, causing an accident.
The following instructions must be followed during maintenance:
•Turn off the power supply.
•Stop the air supply, exhaust the residual pressure and verify that the air is released before performing
maintenance.
Otherwise an injury can result.
Caution
After maintenance is complete, perform appropriate functional inspections.
Stop operation if the equipment does not function properly.
Safety cannot be assured in the case of unexpected malfunction.
Provide grounding to assure the safety and noise resistance of the Fieldbus system.
Individual grounding should be provided close to the product with a short cable.
NOTE
When conformity to UL is necessary the SI unit must be used with a UL1310
Class2 power supply.

Tightening torque: 0.6 Nm
End plate
SI unit
Valve manihold
Addition of input block
•Remove the screws from the end plate to remove the plate.
•Mount the additional tie rods (supplied with the input block).
•Connect additional input block.
•Re-mount the end plate that was removed, and tighten the screws to the specified
tightening torque. (0.6 Nm)
Replacing the SI unit
•Remove the screws from the end plate and release the connection with the valve unit.
•Replace the SI unit. (There is no need to remove the tie rod.)
•Re-mount the input block and end plate that was removed, and tighten the screws to
the specified tightening torque. (0.6 Nm)
Precautions for maintenance
(1)Turn off the power supply completely.
(2)Check that there is no foreign matter inside the unit.
(3)Check that there is no damage and no foreign matter on the gasket.
(4)Tighten the screws to the specified torque.
If the unit is not assembled correctly, this may cause product failure due to foreign
matter such as liquid and dust which may get into the unit.
Connecting cables
Select the appropriate cables to mate with the connectors mounted on the SI unit.
