Small direct mounting cylinder MDC2-HP1 Series INSTRUCTION MANUAL 取扱説明書 SM-A42787-A • Read this Instruction Manual before using the product. • Read the safety notes carefully. • Keep this Instruction Manual in a safe and convenient place for future reference.
• Since there are a wide variety of customer applications, it is impossible for CKD to be aware of all of them. Depending on the application or usage, the product may not be able to exercise its full performance or an accident may occur due to fluid, piping, or other conditions.
SM-A42787-A SAFETY INFORMATION SAFETY INFORMATION When designing and manufacturing any device incorporating the product, the manufacturer has an obligation to ensure that the device is safe. To that end, make sure that the safety of the machine mechanism of the device, the fluid control circuit, and the electric system that controls such mechanism is ensured.
• For applications where life or properties may be adversely affected and special safety measures are required. (Exception is made if the customer consults with CKD prior to use and understands the specifications of the product. However, even in that case, safety measures must be taken to avoid danger in case of a possible failure.)

SM-A42787-A 2. INSTALLATION 2.3.3 Changing the position of the switch Loosen the fastening screw (set screw). Move the switch body along the groove on the side of the body or the rail plate and then tighten the screw at the predetermined position. 2.3.4 Replacing the switch Loosen the fastening screw (set screw) and remove the switch body from the groove.
SM-A42787-A 2. INSTALLATION 2.4 Piping WARNING Insert the tube into the fitting until it firmly rests on the tube end and make sure that the tube does not come off before use. • Use pipes that are made of corrosion-resistant materials after the filter such as zinc-plated pipes, nylon tubes, and rubber tubes.

SM-A42787-A 2. INSTALLATION ◼ Seal material Use a seal tape or a seal material to stop leakage from piping. Apply a seal tape or seal material to the screw threads leaving two or more threads at the pipe end uncovered or uncoated. If the pipe end is fully covered or coated, a shred of seal tape or residue of seal material may enter inside of the pipes or device and cause a failure.
