UNPACKING (Section 3) Bags containing solenoid valves should be opened only ! CAUTION : when you are ready to connect the valves to the pipes immediately afterward. If bags are opened before the valves are ready to be con- nected to the pipes, the entry of foreign matter from the piping ports could cause the solenoid valves to fail or malfunction. ...

f) Avoid using the solenoid valve system in a humid en- ! CAUTION : vironment because the humidity is likely to cause condensation with a change in the temperature. g) Do not use the normal type solenoid valves for an ap- plication that requires conformity with explosion-proof specifications. Choose explosion-proof solenoid valves instead. h) The packing and gaskets may deteriorate sooner than usual if used in an atmosphere with a higher than normal density of ozone (for example, the atmosphere near a beach or in an area with frequent thunder- storms). ...

PIPING (Section 4.3) a) Observe the recommended tightening torque when ! CAUTION : connecting pipes. Observing the recommended tightening torque prevents air leakage and damage to the screw threads. To prevent damage to the screw threads, first use your hand to lightly tighten the screw and then use a tool to tighten the screw to the recommended torque. b) Make sure that the pipes will not be disconnected at the joints by mechanical movements, vibrations or tension. ...

WIRING (Section 4.4) Before wiring, read the instruction manual carefully and ! WARNING : understand the instructions. A person who wires needs to have knowledge for safely performing such operation based on the understanding about the mechanisms and operating principles of solenoid valves. Before supplying the power, check the power supply ! CAUTION : voltage and the current type (AC or DC). MANUAL (Section 5.2) OPERATING DEVICE a) Once the manual operating device has been operated, ...

ELECTRIC CIRCUITS (Section 5.4) a) Check for the presence of any current leak from the ! CAUTION : external control device because it may cause an er- roneous valve operation. When a programmable controller or a similar control de- vice is used, a current leak may prevent the normal re- turning of the valve when the solenoid is de-energized. ...

4 INSTALLATION 4. INSTALLATION If you have to use the product under conditions that are ! CAUTION : different from the specified conditions or if you intend to use the product for a special application, be sure to con- sult us about the product specifications before using the product. 4.1 Environment a) In a dusty environment, foreign matter may enter even ! CAUTION : through the exhaust port. The movement of the exhaust valve causes a respiratory action at the exhaust valve, which may cause inhalation of foreign matter near the exhaust port. This potential sit- uation would be worse if the exhaust port is facing up- ward. Attach a silencer to the exhaust port or have the exhaust port face downward. ...

4 INSTALLATION 4.3.1 Sealant Refrain applying sealant or seal tape approx.two pitches of thread from the tip of pipe to avoid some of the sealing substances from falling into piping system. ●Seal Tape ●Sealant(Paste or liquid) (Right) (False) (Right) (False) When winding the fluororesin seal tape on the screw part, wind the seal tape two or three times where one or two screw threads remain at the top end of the screw, and then push the tape by tip of the nail to make the tape tightly in contact with the screw.
4 INSTALLATION 4.3.6 Pipe connections (1) Tubes to be used For use with solenoid valves with one-touch joints, select tubes of the type specified by us: Soft nylon tubes (F-1500 Series) Urethane tubes (U-9500 Series) (2) For installation at a site that has spatters in the air, select incombustible tubes or metal pipes.
Page 18
4 INSTALLATION (7) Tube connections Do not bend a tube immediately at where it is connected to the joint but lead it out straight from the end of the joint for a length equal to or greater than the outside diameter of the tube. The tension applied sideways through the tube should not exceed 40N.

4 INSTALLATION 1) Caution for wiring (1) When using the small terminal box and water-proof is required, use cab-tire cords φ4 to φ6.5 in outer diameter (water-resistance is improved, but not for outdoor use). (2) The connector type (C, C1, C2, C3, D, D1, D2, D3) should be used in a place with little dust and not directly exposed to water and oil.

5.3.1 Lubrication The 4KA2、 4KB2 Series solenoid valve systems use pre-lubricated valves that usually do not require lubrication from the outside. If you have to lubricate a valve, use Type 1 turbine oil (ISO-VG32) without additives. Excessive lubrication and extremely low pressure may cause a longer re- sponse time.
