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.
1. Precautions for handling Warning 1) Operating environment - When dangerous fluid or fluid possibly harmful to human is used, take measure to isolate human from the pump. Should the external leakage of transported fluid come out, the serious damage to human could be caused.
2. Precaution for installation Caution 1) Mounting - Only horizontal mounting is available. When the pump is not mounted horizontally with its bottom faced down, it may cause sucking failure. - Use two M5 bolts (four M6 bolts for foot bracket) to mount the pump. If the bolts are not tightened firmly, the pump could be exposed to the vibration and eventually damage.
2) Adjustment of discharged flow rate (1) Use the throttle connected to discharge side to adjust discharge flow. Do not close valve suddenly, as it generates surge and remarkably shortens pump life. (2) When discharge flow is under range of specifications, keep minimum flow for process pump by installing bypass circuit from discharge side to suction side.

7. Discharge capability 1) Flow characteristic With reference to flow characteristic graph (shown below), operating condition of the pump can be set. SUP=0.5MPa 0.4MPa 0.3MPa 0.2MPa 流量(L/min) Discharge rate [L/min] Recommended typical condition A: Obtain pilot air pressure when discharge rate is 6L/min and discharge pressure is 0.25MPa. <Assumption;...

2) Viscosity characteristic With reference to viscosity characteristic graph (shown below), discharge amount of transported fluid with higher viscosity can be calculated. 1000 粘 度(mPa・s) Viscosity (mPa・s) Recommended typical condition B: Calculate discharge amount of fluid with viscosity 100mPa・s in case of discharge rate 4.5L/min and discharge pressure 0.1MPa.
8. Troubleshooting If any abnormality is found, perform check along with the following list. If the abnormality can’t be eliminated, return the pump to SMC. Warning - Exhaust dangerous fluid out of the pump before check. - Do not return the pump with dangerous fluid left. Be sure to substitute it with DI water. Otherwise, the fluid could cause burn and other damages on human during transportation.

11. Sensor mounting (leakage sensor) Series PAF can have a sensor for detecting diaphragm breakage. If fluid leaks in the pump through the diaphragm, this sensor responded it, and detects diaphragm breakage. <Mounting> 1. Remove the round head Philips screws below the AIR EXH port of the pump. Then, remove the leakage sensor cover, plug, and O-ring (Fig.
