Caution
1.
Install an air filter
Install an air filter of 5
µ
m or smaller filtration on upstream side.
2.
Take measures to ensure air quality, such as by installing an aftercooler, air
dryer, or water separator.
Compressed air that contains a large amount of drainage can cause a malfunction of
pneumatic equipment such as valves. Therefore, take appropriate measures to ensure
air quality, such as by providing an aftercooler, air dryer, or water separator.
3.
Install a mist separator
If an excessive amount of carbon powder is present, install a mist separator on the
upstream side. If excessive carbon dust is generated by the compressor, it may adhere
to the inside of this product and cause it to malfunction.
Refer to SMC’s “Air Cleaning Equipment” catalog for further details on compressed air quality.
Operating Environment
Warning
1. Do not use in atmospheres contacting corrosive gases, chemicals, sea water, water,
water steam, or where there is direct contact with any of these.
2. Do not use in explosive atmosphere.
3. Do not use in locations subject to vibration or impact.
4. Do not expose to direct sunlight for an extended period of time. Protective cover should
be used to shield.
5. Do not mound in locations where is nearby heat source. Radiated heat should be also
prevented.
6. Implement suitable protective measures in locations where there is contact with
water droplets, oil, or welding spatter.
7. Install a silencer into exhaust port to prevent the dust ingress if there is a lot of dust in
atmosphere, as dust may cause air leakage.
Maintenance
Warning
1.
Perform maintenance inspections according to the procedures indicated in the
operation manual.
If handled improperly, malfunction and damage of machinery or equipment may occur.
2.
Removal of equipment and supply/exhaust of compressed air
When components are removed, first confirm that measures are in place to prevent
workpieces from dropping, run-away equipment, etc. Then, cut off the supply pressure
and electric power, and exhaust all compressed air from the system using the residual
pressure release function.
3.
Low frequency operation
Valves should be switched at least once every 30 days to prevent a malfunction. (Use
caution regarding the air supply.)
4.
Manual override operation
When the manual override is operated, connected equipment will be actuated. Confirm
the safety before operating.
Caution
1.
Drain removal
Remove drain from air filters periodically.
