Do not touch. Sign warning of possible injury by touching the product surface with hazardous fluid on it, or when the product is hot. Fluid leakage Warning of external leakage of circulating fluid. Warning related to corrosion Warning indicating risk of chemical corrosion Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) carefully before using the product, and use appropriate protective equipment.
1. Precautions for system design Warning (1)Confirm the specifications. Fully understand the applications, fluids, environment and other operating conditions to use this product within the specified range shown in this operation manual. (2)Applicable fluids ●If the fluid contains foreign matter, the inside of the pump will become worn out , causing problems.
(8)Design the circuit so that reverse flow and reverse pressure are prevented. Reverse flow or reverse pressure may lead to damage to equipment and operation failure. Take safety measures when designing the circuit. When installing a check valve, use the check valve whose cracking pressure is 0.02MPa or less.

(2)When the process pump is used under low temperature, beware of freezing. The equipment operates by expanding compressed air. During adiabatic expansion, the temperature inside of the product goes down. When the ambient temperature is low, heat cannot be obtained from the surrounding environment.
(5)Tighten screws with proper tightening torque. When screwing fittings into the product, tighten them with proper tightening torque as shown below. Over-tightening can damage the thread. PB1000A series Thread size Proper tightening torque Note1) Rc・NPT・G 1/8 0.8~1.0 N・m 1/8 turn after manual tightening Note1) Reference tightening torque of 1/8 female thread 1.5 to 2 turns after manual tightening.
Caution (1)Life of the diaphragm ●When the operation time of the diaphragm exceeds its life, the process pump may be damaged because the diaphragm is deformed. If the process pump is damaged, the operating fluid will leak from the pilot air exhaust port and air will get into the fluid circuit. Replace the pump considering the operating condition of the pump (irregular intake of air, reduction of discharge pressure) and the reference life of the diaphragm.
Caution (1)Operating temperature The pump can be used within the range from 0 to 50 C. Do not let it freeze. 5. Names and functions of parts ●PB1011A ●PB1013A Discharge port Discharge port Manual override pin Air supply port Suction port Air exhaust port Air supply port Suction port...

(2) Set pilot air pressure within the range 0.2 to 0.7MPa. [For PB1011A / Built-in solenoid valve type] The diaphragm starts moving by inputting DC24V by turning on and off. Exhaust noise can be heard from air exhaust AIR EXH. [For PB1013A / Air operated type] Start operation by applying ON/OFF signal repeatedly to the solenoid valve prepared separately.

Discharge capability 1) Flow-rate characteristics PB1013A flow-rate characteristics (When operated at PB1013A Flow-rate characteristics (5Hz) PB1013A流量特性(5Hz作動時) 5H ) SUP=0.7MPa SUP=0.5MPa SUP=0.35MPa SUP=0.2MPa 1000 Discharge rate (mL/min) 吐出量 (mL/min) Caution ・The above flow characteristic graph is for clean water (viscosity 1mPa・s, specific gravity 1.0). If a fluid with higher viscosity such as oil is used, convert the fluid to clean water with reference to the viscosity characteristic graph.
Page 17
3) Viscosity characteristics With reference to the viscosity characteristic graph (shown below), discharge amount of transported fluid with higher viscosity can be calculated. Viscosity (mPa・s) 粘度(mPa・s) ●How to calculate the pilot air pressure and consumed air flow < Example of required specifications > -Discharge : 200mL/min -Discharge pressure : 0.2MPa -Viscosity : 15mPa・s...
The viscosity can also vary due to changes in the ambient temperature. -Fluids of viscosity up to 100 mPa・s can be used. 9. Troubleshooting If any abnormality is found, perform checks according to the following list. If the abnormality cannot be eliminated, ask SMC. Warning -Discharge dangerous fluid from the pump.
Page 19
3)The discharge amount is -Check valve at suction side (IN port) or -Cleaning insufficient. discharge side (OUT port) is clogged. -Excessive viscosity of transported fluid. -Non-conformance -Large suction or discharge pump head. -Reduce the pump head. -The filter of suction side (IN port) is -Clean or replace the filter.
