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.
- Page 6 Piping Caution ！ 1. Before piping Before piping, perform air blow (flushing) or cleaning to remove any cutting chips, cutting oil, dust, etc. from the piping. 2. Piping to product When piping to the product, refer to the symbols and labels on the product to avoid mistakes in the position of the supply port, etc.
- Page 7 Air Supply Warning ！ 1. Use clean air. Do not use compressed air that contains chemicals, organic solvents based synthetic oils, salts or corrosive gases, etc., as this can cause damage or malfunction. Caution ！ 1. Install air filters. Install air filters close to valves on the upstream side. A filtration degree of 5 micrometer or less should be selected.
- 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 the valve is subject to a little amount of air leakage, it cannot be used for applications such as holding pressure. 2. Not suitable for use as an emergency shutoff valve, etc. This valve is not designed for safety applications such as an emergency shutoff valve.
- Page 10 This could damage the mechanical valve itself and lead to equipment malfunction. Refer to Chapter 6, "Mechanical Operating Conditions" in this Operation Manual for the main precautions. Caution ！ 1. After operating for a long time, it will take some time for the valve to restart as the resistance between the seal and the parts increases.
