Doc. no. DOC1058584 ■ Removal of the tube 1) Press the release button evenly and firmly. 2) Pull out the tubing while keeping the release button pressed. If the release button is not held down with a sufficient force, the tubing cannot be removed. 3) If the removed tubing is to be reused, cut off the used section of the tubing.
Doc. no. DOC1058584 Wiring 1) Do not strongly pull the lead wires for the supply pilot valve, release valve, and pressure sensor, and do not lift the body by pulling the lead wire. The interior of the supply pilot valve, release valve and pressure sensor may be broken, causing the product to malfunction or come off from the connectors.

Doc. no. DOC1058584 10.4. Precautions 1) Conduct maintenance according to the procedure indicated in the operation manual. If handled improperly, malfunction and damage of machinery or equipment may occur. 2) Compressed air can be dangerous when it is handled incorrectly. Protection of the product as well as element replacement and other maintenance tasks should be performed by a person with good knowledge and experience with pneumatic devices.
Doc. no. DOC1058584 11.Handling Precautions 11.1. Exhaust from the Ejector The exhaust resistance should be as small as possible to obtain the full performance of the vacuum ejector. There should be no shield around the exhaust port for the silencer exhaust specification. Sound absorbing material is gradually clogged in the following cases: - Suction of dust in the environment at the time of adsorption, or - When the air is not clean enough.
Doc. no. DOC1058584 12. Troubleshooting If the product fails in any way, perform the following troubleshooting measures. Countermeas Failure phenomenon Possible causes ures Vacuum is not generated Clogging by foreign matter or particles See (1) and (2) Decline in the power supply See (3) and (4) voltage...

Doc. no. DOC1058584 ■Countermeasures Countermeasure Oil mist in the supply air or particles in the piping cause clogging if they enter into the ejector. This may cause operation failure. Blow the air piping with air to eliminate particles. As a further supply air cleaning measure, install a mist separator and an air filter.

Doc. no. DOC1058584 Countermeasure When the product suctions a workpiece by generating a vacuum, high speed air coming out of the nozzle collides into the diffuser’s inner diameter and bounces back, generating vibration in the exhaust air. Because of this, the vacuum pressure fluctuates slightly and is not stabilized. The workpiece can be suctioned when the ejector is used in this condition.
