    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.
  • Page 4 Safety Instructions Caution 1.The product is provided for use in manufacturing industries. The product herein described is basically provided for peaceful use in manufacturing industries. If considering using the product in other industries, consult SMC beforehand and exchange specifications or a contract if necessary. If anything is unclear, contact your nearest sales branch.
  • Page 5 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.
  • Page 6 Caution ■Do not touch the terminals and connectors while the power is on. Otherwise electric shock, malfunction or damage to the product can result. ■After maintenance is complete, perform appropriate functional inspections and leak tests. Stop operation if the equipment does not function properly or there is a leakage of fluid. When leakage occurs from parts other than the piping, the product might be faulty.
  • Page 7 ●Product handling Installation Tighten to the specified tightening torque. If the tightening torque is exceeded the mounting screws and brackets may be broken. If the tightening torque is insufficient, the product can be displaced and loosen the mounting screws. Be sure to ground terminal FG when using a commercially available switch-mode power supply. Do not drop, hit or apply shock to the product.
  • Page 8 Do not use a load which generates surge voltage. When a surge-generating load such as a relay or solenoid is driven directly, use a product with a built-in surge absorbing element. The product is CE marked, but not immune to lightning strikes. Take measures against lightning strikes in the system.
