  • 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 1) standards (ISO/IEC) and other safety regulations.
  • Page 4 Caution The product is provided for use in manufacturing industries. The product herein described is basically provided for peaceful use in manufacturing industries. If considering using the product in other industries, consult SMC beforehand and exchange specifications or a contract if necessary. If anything is unclear, contact your nearest sales branch.
  • Page 5 Operator This operation manual is intended for those who have knowledge of machinery using pneumatic equipment, and have sufficient knowledge of assembly, operation and maintenance of such equipment. Only those persons are allowed to perform assembly, operation and maintenance. Read and understand this operation manual carefully before assembling, operating or providing maintenance to the product.
  • Page 6 Caution ■Do not touch the terminals and connectors while the power is on. Otherwise electric shock, malfunction or damage to the product can result. ■After maintenance is complete, perform appropriate functional inspections and leak tests. Stop operation if the equipment does not function properly. Safety cannot be assured in the case of unexpected malfunction.
  • Page 7 Auto Switch Common Precautions Design and Selection Warning (1) Check the specifications. If the auto switch is used with an excessive load or used outside of the specifications, it may cause damage or malfunction. The product cannot be guaranteed if is used outside of the specification range. (2) Caution for use in an interlock system.
  • Page 8 Mounting and Adjustment Caution (1) Do not drop or apply impact. The auto switch may be damaged or malfunction if it is dropped, bumped or applied with excessive impact (1000 m/s or more). (2) Observe the required tightening torque for mounting an auto switch. If an auto switch is tightened beyond the specified tightening torque, the auto switch, mounting screws, or mounting bracket may be damaged.
  • Page 9: Operating Environment

    Operating Environment Warning (1) Do not use the auto switch in the presence of explosive gases. Auto switches are not designed with an explosion proof construction. Fire or an explosion may result. Contact SMC for information regarding ATEX compliant products. Caution (1) Do not use in a location where magnetic fields are generated.
  • Page 10 Solid state Auto switch Design and Selection Caution (1) Wiring should be kept as short as possible. Do not use a cable longer than 100 m. For long wire lengths, we recommend a ferrite core should be attached to both ends of the cable, to reduce noise. (2) Do not use a load which generates a surge voltage.
  • Page 11 Operating Environment Caution (1) Do not use in a location where surges are generated. When there are units (solenoid lifter, high frequency induction furnace, motor, etc.) which generate a large amount of surge in the area around the actuator with solid state auto switches, this may cause damage to the auto switch internal circuit.
