  • Page 3: Safety Instructions

    Safety Instructions These safety instructions are intended to prevent hazardous situations and/or equipment damage. These instructions indicate the level of potential hazard with the labels of "Caution", "Warning" or "Danger". They are all important notes for safety and must be followed in addition to International 1) standards (ISO/IEC) and other safety regulations.
  • Page 4 Caution 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.
  • Page 5 Operator This operation manual is intended for those who have knowledge of machinery using pneumatic equipment, and have sufficient knowledge of assembly, operation and maintenance of such equipment. Only those persons are allowed to perform assembly, operation and maintenance. Read and understand this operation manual carefully before assembling, operating or providing maintenance to the product.
  • Page 6 Caution ■Do not touch the terminals and connectors while the power is on. Otherwise electric shock, malfunction or damage to the product can result. ■Perform sufficient trial run. Otherwise, injury or damage to the system can result due to suction failure depending on the conditions of the suction of the workpiece or the pressure switch settings.
  • Page 7 ●Product handling Installation •Tighten to the specified tightening torque. If the tightening torque is exceeded the mounting screws and brackets may be broken. If the tightening torque is insufficient, the product can be displaced and loosen the mounting screws. •Be sure to ground terminal FG when using a commercially available switch-mode power supply. •Do not drop, hit or apply excessive shock (over 100 m/s ) to the Pressure switch.
  • Page 8 Wiring •Do not pull the lead wires. In particular, never lift a Pressure switch equipped with fitting and piping by holding the lead wires. Otherwise damage to the internal parts can result, causing malfunction or to be off the connector. •Avoid repeatedly bending or stretching the lead wire, or placing heavy load on them.
  • Page 9 •Prevent foreign matter such as remnant of wires from entering the Pressure switch. Take proper measures for the remnant not to enter the Pressure switch in order to prevent failure or malfunction. •Do not use the product in an environment that is exposed to temperature cycle. Heat cycles other than ordinary changes in temperature can adversely affect the inside of the product.

  • Page 12: Definition And Terminology

    ■Definition and terminology Terms Meaning Display type where each individual display character consists of up to 7 separate 7-segment indication sections (called segments) (The figure “8” uses all 7 segments) Indicate the command signal which generate vacuum. Adsorption directive signal (It is necessary to input the pressure switch) A function of the Pressure switch to automatically setup pressure just by having equipment hold and release a workpiece via vacuum adsorption.
  • Page 13 Terms Meaning Indication accuracy Shows the deviation between displayed pressure value and the true pressure. Insulation resistance of the product. Insulation resistance The resistance between the electrical circuit and the case. How fine the rated pressure range can be segmented. (Example: If a product Indication resolution for 0 to 1 MPa can indicate pressure by 0.001 MPa, the indication resolution is 1/1000.)
  • Page 14 Terms Meaning Peak value display Displays the maximum vacuum pressure reached up to that moment. The solenoid valve which turns on and off the ejector. Pilot valve for air supply (This pressure switch outputs signal to the supply pilot valve) PNP (open collector) (output) The switch that uses the PNP transistor for output.
  • Page 15 Terms Meaning Setting of function Refer to "Function selection mode". Setting pressure range. The pressure range within which switch output can be set. Output type that only has 2 possible states, ON or OFF. Sometimes referred to Switch output as "ON-OFF output". Function to change the unit in which the value of pressure is indicated.

  • Page 16: Wiring

    Wiring ■Wiring ○Connection •Connections should only be made with the power supply turned off. •Use separate routes for the Pressure switch wiring and any power or high voltage wiring. Otherwise, malfunction may result due to noise. •Ensure that the FG terminal is connected to ground when using a commercially available switch-mode power supply.
