Note 1) When mounting a pressure gauge, use caution not to tighten
excessively. Excessive tightening will cause product to be damaged.
Use a pipe tape for sealing.
Note 2) When using other fluids, please consult with SMC for fluid
compatibility information concerning corrosive potential.
Note 3) Avoid freezing as this may cause a malfunction.
Note 4) The guaranteed temperature range is 23°C ±5 °C.

3 Installation
3.1 Installation
Warning
Do not install the product unless the safety instructions have been read
and understood.
3 Installation - continued
3.1.1 Selection
Make sure that no direct impact or vibrations are applied to the body.
If operating under pressure pulsations or in high frequency
operations, please contact SMC.
3.1.2 Mounting
During transport and installation, do not apply shock to the product,
such as by dropping doing so will affect its precision.
For the installation posture, place it perpendicular to the ground, with
the zero point on the reading of a pressure gauge facing down.
Do not install it in an area that is exposed to high temperature or
humidity, because doing so will lead to improper operation.
To screw in the pressure gauge, make sure to turn the gauge by
placing a wrench over the square wrench flats. If the pressure gauge
is screwed in by holding it on some other area, air leakage or
damage may result.
Recommended tightening torque: R 1/8: set between 7 to 9 N.m,
R1/4: 12 to 14 N.m respectively.
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. Check the
product specifications.
Do not mount in a location exposed to radiant heat.
3.3 Piping
Caution
Before 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.
Tighten fittings to the specified tightening torque.

4.1 Procedure for Setting the Limit Gauge Indicator
1) Before setting the colour zone (red), turn the cover counter clockwise
(approximately 6 to 7 mm) until it stops. Then remove by pulling it
towards you.
2) Use a pen tip to set the colour zone (red). Be careful not to bend the
other needle or damage the dial plate.
