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.
Safety Instructions Caution SMC develops, designs, and manufactures products to be used for automatic control equipment, and provides them for peaceful use in manufacturing industries. Use in non-manufacturing industries is not allowed. Products SMC manufactures and sells cannot be used for the purpose of transactions or certification specified in the Measurement Act of each country.

Cylinders or actuators include cylinders, air grippers, rotary actuators, and electrical actuators/cylinders. Design/Selection 1. Confirm the specifications. If the product is used with excess load applied or beyond the specification range, this may cause the product to break or malfunction. We do not guarantee against any damage if the product is used outside of the specification range. 2.

12. Pay attention to leakage current. Leakage current flow to the load will be “n” times larger when “n” auto switches are connected in parallel. 13. Output operation of the solid state auto switch is not stable for 50 after powered ON. [ms] In the output operation immediately after powered ON or AND connection operation, the input device (PLC or relay, etc.) may judge the ON position as OFF output or the OFF position as ON output.

Wiring 1. Confirm proper insulation of wiring. If there is any improper insulation (mixed contact with other circuit, grounding fault, or improper insulation between terminals, etc.) in the wiring, an over-current flows in, causing the auto switch to break. 2. Wire separately from power lines or high voltage lines, avoiding parallel wiring or wiring in the same conduit with these lines.
Operating Environment 1. Never use in an atmosphere of explosive gases, dust. The structure of auto switches is not intended to prevent explosion. This may lead to explosion hazard. 2. Do not use in an area where a magnetic field is generated. Auto switches will malfunction or magnets inside cylinders/ actuators will become demagnetized.
■Definition and terminology Term Meaning and definition A type of indicating methods which lights up the Red LED light up when the Auto switch comes 2-color indication to the operating position, and lights up the Green LED when the Auto switch comes to the optimum operating position.
For new Auto switch applications, confirm that the actuator includes a magnet before assembling the Auto switch and bracket. D-G59F 1. Put a mounting band on the cylinder tube and set it at the auto switch mounting position. 2. Put the mounting section of the auto switch between the band mounting holes, then adjust the position of mounting holes of switch to those of mounting band.

D-H7NF 1. For CDJ2 series: Put a mounting bracket on the cylinder tube. For CDM2 series: Wrap the auto switch mounting band around the cylinder where the auto switch will be mounted without bending the reinforcing plates. 2. For CDJ2 series: Put the mounting section of the auto switch between the band mounting holes, then adjust the position of mounting holes of switch to those of mounting band.

Maintenance After the power has been disconnected, please observe the following precautions:- Regarding the actuator operation set up, the contents of the program may be maintained by the customer's application system. Take care to confirm safety when the power is re-connected, and the actuator operation is resumed, because the operation may have stopped in an unstable condition.
Troubleshooting When the Auto switch falls in operation failure, identify the trouble with the following flow chart. A failure of the Auto switch might depend on operating environment (application etc.) Contact type: Normally open (normal direction) output The switch Is the actuator Misapplication doesn’t detect applicable?
