Note 1) The upper limits of the ambient and fluid temperatures vary depending on
the operating frequency. (Refer to figure1.) If a follow-up operation is
performed at a duty ratio of 50% or higher, the upper limit value may
change. Please contact SMC for further details.
Note 2) Impact resistance
:
No malfunction occurred when it was tested with a drop
tester in the axial direction and at right angles to the main valve & armature;
in both energized & de-energised states and for every time in each
condition. (Values quoted are for a new valve).
Vibration resistance
:
No malfunction occurred in a one-sweep test between
45 and 2000 Hz. Tests are performed at both energized and de-energized
states in the axial direction and at right angles to the main valve & armature.
(Values quoted are for a new valve).

Warning
Special products (-X) might have specifications different from those
shown in this section. Contact SMC for specific drawings.
3 Installation
3.1 Installation
Warning
•
Do not install the product unless the safety instructions have been read
and understood.
3.2 Environment
Warning
•
Do not use in an environment where corrosive gases, chemicals, salt
water or steam are present.
•
Do not use in an explosive atmosphere.
•
Do not expose to direct sunlight. Use a suitable protective cover.
•
Do not install in a location subject to vibration or impact in excess of
the product’s specifications.
•
Do not mount in a location exposed to radiant heat that would result in
temperatures in excess of the product’s specifications.
3 Installation - continued
•
Products with compliant with IP67 enclosures are protected against
dust and water; however, these products cannot be used in water.
•
Products compliant to IP67 satisfy the specifications by mounting the
product appropriately. Be sure to read the Specific Product
Precautions for each product.
•
Do not use in high humidity environment where condensation can
occur.
•
If using in an atmosphere where there is possible contact with water
drop-lets, oil, weld spatter, etc., take suitable preventive measures.
•
Contact SMC for altitude limitations.
3.3 Piping
Caution
•
Before connecting piping make sure to clean up chips, cutting oil, dust
etc.
•
When installing piping or fittings, ensure sealant material does not
enter inside the port. When using seal tape, leave 1 thread
exposed
on the end of the pipe/fitting.
•
For internal pilot valves, even though the inlet pressure is within the
operating pressure range, when the pipe diameter is restricted due to
size reduction of supply port 1(P), the flow will be insufficient. In this
case, the valve does not switch completely, and the cylinder may
malfunction.
•
Tighten fittings to the specified tightening torque.

3.4 Lubrication
Caution
•
SMC products have been lubricated for life at manufacture, and do not
require lubrication in service.
•
If a lubricant is used in the system, refer to catalogue for details.
3.5 Air supply
Warning
•
Use clean air. If the compressed air supply includes chemicals,
synthetic materials (including organic solvents), salinity, corrosive gas
etc., it can lead to damage or malfunction.
Caution
•
Install an air filter upstream of the valve. Select an air filter with a
filtration size of 5μm or smaller.
3.6 Manual override
Warning
•
Regardless of an electric signal for the valve, the manual override is
used for switching the main valve. Since connected equipment will
operate when the manual override is activated, confirm that conditions
are safe prior to activation.
•
Refer to the catalogue for details of manual override operation.

3.7.1 Tube attachment and detachment
Caution
Refer to the Specific Precautions in the catalogue.
3.7.2 Precautions on other tube brands
Caution
When using non-SMC brand tubes, refer to the Specific Product
Precautions in the fittings and tubing catalogue.
3.8 Electrical circuits
3.8.1 With power saving circuit (non-polar type)
•
Power consumption is decreased by approximately 1/4 of the amount
required at start up by reducing the wattage required to hold the valve
in an energized state.
(Effective energizing time is over 5 ms at 24 VDC).
3 Installation - continued
Figure 4. With power saving circuit.
•
The above circuit reduces the power consumption for holding in order
to save energy.
•
Refer to the catalogue for additional information.
3.9 Wiring
Caution
•
Do not use a tool to mount the connector as this may cause damage.
Tighten the connector by hand (torque of 0.4 N∙m to 0.6 N∙m).
•
Applying excessive force on the cable connector will result in it no
longer being able to satisfy IP67 requirements. Please use caution and
refrain from applying 30 N or more force on the connector.
•
Refer to catalogue for additional information.

Note: There is no grounding for this product.

3.10 Residual voltage
Caution
•
The suppressor arrests the back EMF voltage from the coil to a level
in proportion to the rated voltage.
•
Ensure the transient voltage is within the specification of the host
controller.
•
In the case of a diode, the residual voltage is approximately 1 V.
3.11 Countermeasure for surge voltage
Caution
•
At times of sudden interruption of the power supply, the energy stored
in a large inductive device may cause non-polar type valves in a de-
energised state to switch.
•
When installing a breaker circuit to isolate the power, consider to install
a surge absorption diode across the output of the breaker.
3.12 Extended period of continuous energization
Caution
If a valve will be continuously energized for an extended period of time or
is mounted in a control panel, the temperature of the valve will increase
due to the heat generated by the coil assembly. This will likely adversely
affect the performance of the valve and any nearby peripheral equipment.
3.13 One-touch fittings
Caution
When fittings are used, they may interfere with one another depending
on their types and sizes. Therefore, the dimensions of the fittings to be
used should first be confirmed in their respective catalogues.
