Safety precautions (FRZB filter regulators)
❺
●
Always observe the following items.
1.
When using this product in pneumatic systems, always use
genuine Koganei parts or compatible parts (recommended
parts).
When conducting maintenance and repairs, always use genuine
Koganei parts or equivalent parts (recommended parts).
Always observe the prescribed methods and procedures.
2.
Never attempt inappropriate disassembly or assembly of the
product relating to basic configurations, or its performance or
functions.
3.
The sales of pressure gauges with PSI indications in Japan
are prohibited by the Japanese law.
Koganei shall not be held responsible for any problems that
occur as a result of these items not being properly observed.
●
When considering the possibility of using this product in
situations or environments not specifically noted in the catalog
or instruction manual, or in applications where safety is an
●
When mounting the product, leave room for adequate working
space around it. Failure to do so will make it more difficult to
conduct daily inspections or maintenance, which could
eventually lead to system shutdown or damage to the product.
●
Whenever transporting or installing a heavy product, use a lift
or supports to securely support it, and use several people to
help lift it and take other precautions to ensure personal safety.
●
Do not scratch, dent, or deform the product by climbing on it,
using it as a step, or placing objects on top of it. Doing so
creates the risk of damage to or breakage of the product,
resulting in operational shutdown or degraded performance.
●
Always post an operations in progress sign for installations,
adjustments, or other operations, to avoid unintentional
supplying of air or electrical power, etc. Unintentional supplying
of air or electricity can cause electric shock or sudden
operation and may result in injury.
●
While handling the product, do not subject it to extreme shocks
by hitting, dropping, or bumping it. Doing so may damage the
inside of the product, even though the outside is not damaged,
and cause it to malfunction.
●
Do not short circuit the load to the pressure switch.
The pressure switch may be damaged by over-current if the
comparative output is turned on while the load is short circuited.
Example of short circuited load: The output lead wire of the
comparative output is connected directly to the power source.
●
Do not bring any magnetic media or memory within one meter
[3.28 ft] of the product. There is a strong magnet inside the
product and the magnetic field of this magnet may damage the
data on the magnetic media.
●
If an electric leakage occurs on the control circuit, it may cause
the product to operate unexpectedly. Protect the control circuit
from electricity leaks so that electricity leaks do not exceed the
allowance in the product specifications.
●
Use the specified lubricant to lubricate sliding parts. Not doing
so leads to changes in the physical properties, deterioration of
the materials used, or reduced functionality.
●
Do not block the product's vent holes. The pressure will
fluctuate if the air volume changes during operations. If the
vents are blocked the pressure balance will be disrupted,
operations will no longer be as expected resulting in injury or
damage to equipment.
●
Use in extremely dry air under temperatures lower than -20°C
[-4°F] may affect the quality of the lubricating oil used. This
creates the risk of degraded performance, loss of function, or
other problems.
contacting par ts may have become stuck, resulting in
equipment operation delays or in sudden movements. Before
these initial operations, always run a test to check that
operating performance is normal.
●
Do not use the product in locations that are subject to direct
sunlight (ultraviolet rays); locations with high humidity and
temperature, dust, salt, or iron powder. Do not use fluids in the
product or use the product in an environment that includes
corrosive fluids such as organic solvents, phosphate ester type
hydraulic oil, sulfur dioxide, chlorine gas, freon gas, ozone,
acids, alkaline, etc. It could lead to early shutdown of some
functions, a sudden degradation of performance, and a
reduced operating life. For information about materials, see
Major Parts and Materials.
●
When the device is not used for long periods (over 30 days), it
is possible that the contacting parts may have become stuck
leading to delayed operation or sudden movements, resulting in
injury. Check for proper operation a minimum of once every 30
days.
●
Do not expose the main unit to an external magnetic field when
the pressure switch is operating.
It could cause erratic operation resulting in injury or damage to
the machine.
●
Do not wire parallel to power lines or high-voltage lines, or
inside the same wiring conduit. The noise could cause the
pressure switch to malfunction.
●
Do not use the product near the sea, in direct sunlight, near
mercury vapor lamps, or near equipment that generates ozone.
Ozone causes rubber components to deteriorate resulting in
reduced performance, or degradation or stop of functions.
●
Do not use in locations where there is a heat source nearby or
that are subject to radiated heat.

ATTENTION
CAUTION
impor tant requirement such as in aircraf t equipment,
combustion equipment, leisure equipment, safety equipment,
and other places where human life or assets may be greatly
affected, take adequate safety precautions such as allowing
plenty of margin for ratings and performance, or fail-safe
measures.
Always contact the sales department at Koganei regarding use
in such applications.
●
Use a protective cover and other means to ensure that the
operating parts of mechanical devices are isolated and do not
come into direct contact with human bodies.
●
Do not configure control of the actuator in a way that could
cause workpieces to fall due to power failure.
Configure control of the system to prevent workpieces and
other items from falling due to power failure or by emergency
stops of mechanical devices.
●
Attach a muffler to the exhaust port.
It will reduce the noise during exhaust.
●
Lock the pressure regulation knob after regulating the pressure.
●
When handling the product, wear protective gloves, safety
glasses, safety shoes, and other protective clothing.
●
When the product can no longer be used or is no longer
necessary, dispose of it appropriately as industrial waste.
●
Pneumatic equipment can exhibit degraded performance and
function over its operating life. Always conduct daily inspections
of the pneumatic equipment, and confirm that all requisite system
functions are satisfied, to prevent accidents from happening.
