Air Supply
Warning
(1) Type of fluids
Please consult with SMC when using the
product in applications other than compressed
air.
(2) When there is a large amount of drainage
Compressed air containing a large amount of
drainage can cause
pneumatic equipment. An air dryer or water
separator should be installed upstream from
filters.
(3) Drain flushing
If condensation in the drain bowl is not emptied
on a regular basis, the bowl will overflow and
allow the condensation to enter the compressed
air lines. This causes the malfunction of
pneumatic equipment.
If the drain bowl is difficult to check and remove,
the installation of a drain bowl with an auto drain
option is recommended.
For compressed air quality, refer to SMC catalog
"Compressed Air Purification System".
(4) Use clean air
Do not use compressed air that contains
chemicals, synthetic oils that include organic
solvents, salt, corrosive gases, etc., as it can
cause damage or malfunction.
Caution
(1) Install an air filter.
Install an air filter upstream near the valve.
For the filtration rating, select 5 μm or below, or
select a rating equivalent to or lower than ISO
8573-1:2010 [6:4:4]
*This is equivalent to the filtration performance
achieved when an air filter is attached for inlet
side compressed air with purity class of [7:4:4].
(2) Ensure that
temperatures are within the specified range.
If the fluid temperature is 5
moisture in the circuit could freeze, causing
damage to the seals or leading to equipment
malfunction. Therefore, take appropriate
measures to prevent freezing.
For compressed air quality, refer to SMC catalog
"Compressed Air Purification System".

Warning
(1) Do not use in an atmosphere containing
corrosive gases, chemicals, sea water, water,
water steam, or where there is direct contact
with any of these.
(2) Do not expose the product to direct sunlight
for an extended period of time.
of
(3) Do not mount the product in locations where
it is exposed to radiant heat.
Warning
(1) Perform
according to the procedures indicated in the
operation manual.
If handled improperly, malfunction or damage of
machinery and equipment may occur.
(2) Maintenance work
If handled improperly, compressed air can be
dangerous.
Assembly,
replacement of pneumatic systems should be
performed by a knowledgeable and experienced
person.
(3) Drain flushing
Remove drainage from air filters regularly.
(4) Removal of equipment, and supply/exhaust
of compressed air
Before components are removed, first confirm
that measures are in place to prevent
workpieces from dropping, run-away equipment,
etc.
Then, Cut the supply pressure and electric
power, and exhaust all compressed air from the
system using the residual pressure release
function.
When machinery is restarted, proceed with
caution after
measures are in place to prevent sudden
movement.
