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 Standards (ISO/IEC) , and other safety regulations. - Page 4 Safety Instructions Caution We develop, design, and manufacture our products to be used for automatic control equipment, and provide them for peaceful use in manufacturing business. Use in non-manufacturing business is not covered. Products we manufacture and sell cannot be used for the purpose of transactions or certification specified in the Measurement Act.
- Page 5 Design precautions Warning ！ (1) Actuator drive When an actuator, such as a cylinder, is to be driven take appropriate measures to prevent potential danger caused by actuator operation. (2) Maintenance space When installing the products, allow access for maintenance. (3) Ventilation When using the valve in a closed control panel, etc., install ventilating openings to prevent an increase of pressure inside the control panel, and to prevent heat generated by other equipment...

Refer to the lubricant manufacturer's website for brand name of the lubricants compliant with Class 1 turbine oil (with no additives), ISO VG32.
- Page 8 Maintenance Warning ！ 1. Removal of equipment, and supply/exhaust of compressed air When equipment is serviced, first confirm that measures are in place to prevent dropping of driven objects and/-or equipment running out of control, etc. Then cut the supply pressure and power, and exhaust all compressed air from the system using its residual pressure release function.
- Page 9 Specific Product Precautions for Mechanical Valve Design precautions Warning ！ 1. Cannot be used for sealing pressure. Since VM100 is a poppet type valve, fluid flows backwards when the pressure on port 2 rises. Since the valve is subject to a little amount of air leakage, it cannot be used for applications such as holding pressure (including vacuum).
- Page 10 2. Select the angle and the maximum speed of the operating cam and the dog of the mechanism so that they do not exceed the maximum values. This could damage the mechanical valve itself and lead to equipment malfunction. Refer to Chapter 7, "Mechanical Operating Conditions"...
