5) If the air equipment is mounted on the outlet of the product, particles will be generated from the
equipment and required cleanliness may not be obtained. Instead, install the air equipment at the inlet.
6) Applications in which the difference between the inlet and outlet pressure exceeds 0.1 MPa must be
avoided. Otherwise, the element may break.
7) For air blow applications, prevent airborne particles from the operating environment entering into the
compressed air stream. Foreign matter may adhere to the workpiece during the air blow.
Caution
1) The activated carbon filter (AMK series) adsorbs oil vapor contained in the compressed air and removes
the odors derived from it, but does not remove all odors.
Warning
1) Grease is slightly used on the threaded parts and seals. If this is not acceptable, please consult SMC.
2) Select the model so that the maximum discharge value (instantaneous) of the flow rate will not exceed
the maximum flow capacity.
Warning
1) Do not drop or apply impact during transportation or installation; It will cause damage to the product and
result in operation failure.
2) Do not install in areas of high humidity or high temperature. Operation outside of the product
specification range may cause damage to the product or operation failure, or shorten the product life.
3) Connect the product ensuring the direction of "1"(IN) and "2"(OUT) for air direction or an arrow.
4) Install with adequate space for maintenance beneath the product. Refer to 12. Dimensions (page 31) for
necessary space.
Warning:
1) Before piping, perform flushing or cleaning of the piping, etc. to remove any cutting chips, cutting oil,
solid foreign matter, etc. from the piping. Contamination of piping may cause damage or malfunction.
2) When screwing together pipes and fittings, etc., be certain that chips from the pipe threads and sealant
do not get inside the pipe. When a sealant tape is used, leave 1.5 to 2 thread ridges exposed at the end
of the threads.
