9.  Connecting the Air Tube of the RCAW Dustproof/Splash-proof Type   

 

 
Intake/exhaust port   

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Install the air tube (outer diameter: 10 mm, inner diameter: 6.5 mm) on the intake/exhaust port and guide 
the air tube to a location where the external environment assures the tube will not come in contact with 
water.  
 
(Applicable tube)   
Shown below is a representative model of air tube that can be installed on the RCAW:   

  TU1065: Polyurethane tube (Manufacturer: SMC)   

 

 
 
   
 
 
 
 

Caution: 

The air tube should not be more than 3 m long.
