Note 1) Use dry air at low temperatures.
Note 2) Impact resistance: No malfunction occurred when it is tested with a drop
tester in the axial direction and at the right angles to the main valve and
armature in both energized and deenergized states every once for each
condition. (Values quoted are for a new valve)
Vibration resistance: No malfunction occurred in a one-sweep test between
45 and 2000 Hz. Test was performed at both energized and de-energized
states in the axial direction and at the right angles to the main valve and
armature. (Values quoted are for a new valve)
Note 3) In the case of double solenoid, mount the valve so that the spool is
horizontal.

• Do not install in a location subject to vibration or impact in excess of
the product's specifications.
• Do not mount in a location exposed to radiant heat that would result in
temperatures in excess of the product's specifications.
• Products compliant with IP50, IP52 and IP54 have limited protection
against dust.
• Products compliant with IP52 are protected against water drips and
products compliant with IP54 are protected against water splashes.
However, these products cannot be used in water.
• Products compliant with IP50, IP52 and IP54 enclosures satisfy the
specifications by mounting each product properly. Be sure to read the
Specific Product Precautions for each product.
• Do not use in high humidity environment where condensation can
occur.
• Contact SMC for altitude limitations.

• Install an air filter upstream of the valve. Select an air filter with a
filtration size of 5 μm or smaller.
3.6 Manual override
• Regardless of an electric signal for the valve, the manual override is
used for switching the main valve. Since connected equipment will
operate when the manual override is activated, confirm that conditions
are safe prior to activation.
• Locked manual overrides might prevent the valve responding to being
electrically de-energised or cause unexpected movement in the
Warning
equipment.
• Refer to the catalogue for manual override location.
• To operate the non-locking manual override, push the manual override
until it stops.
• To operate the locking manual override, use a tool (not required for
lever type) to turn the manual override 90° in the "1" direction, the valve

will turn on and lock. To cancel the ON state, turn it 90° in the "0"
direction and check that it is in the OFF state.
Warning
3.7 Mounting
• Ensure gaskets are in good condition, not deformed and are dust and
debris free.
• When mounting valves to a manifold or sub-plate ensure gaskets are
present, aligned and securely in place and tighten to the torque
indicated in the table below.
• Refer specific product precautions for how to exchange solenoid valve.
• Attach/remove solenoid valve vertically, parallel to sub-plate,
otherwise it may cause damage to the solenoid valve and
