Warning
(4)Use clean air
Do not use compressed air that contains
chemicals, synthetic oils that include organic
solvents, salt, corrosive gases, etc., as it can
cause damage or malfunction.
Caution
(1)Install an air filter.
Install an air filter upstream near the valve.
Select an air filter with a filtration size of 5
μ
m or
smaller.
(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
the
malfunction of
pneumatic equipment,such as flow control
equipment.Therefore,take appropriate measures
to ensure air quality, such as by providing an
aftercooler, air dryer, or water separator.
(3)Ensure
that
the
fluid
and
ambient
temperatures are within the specified range.
If the fluid temperature is 5
℃
or less,the
moisture in the circuit could freeze,causing
damage to the seals or leading to equipment
malfunction.
Therefore,
take
appropriate
measures to prevent freezing.
For compressed air quality,refer to SMC catalog
"Compressed Air Purification System".
Warning
(1)Do not use in an atmosphere containing
corrosive gases, chemicals, sea water, water,
water steam, or where there is direct contact
with any of these.
(2)Do not expose the product to direct sunlight
for an extended period of time.
(3)Do not use in a place subject to heavy
vibration and/or shock.
(4)Do not mount the product in locations where
it is exposed to radiant heat.
Warning
(1)Perform
maintenance
and
inspection
according to the procedures indicated in the
operation manual.
If handled improperly, malfunction or damage of
machinery and equipment may occur.
(2)Maintenance work
If handled improperly, compressed air can be
dangerous.
Assembly,handling,repair
and
element replacement of pneumatic systems
should be performed by a knowledgeable and
experienced person.
(3)Drain flushing
Remove drainage from air filters regularly.
(4)Removal of equipment, and supply/exhaust
of compressed air
Before components are removed, first confirm
that measures are in place to prevent
workpieces from dropping, run-away equipment,
etc. Then, Cut the supply pressure and electric
power, and exhaust all compressed air from the
system using the residual pressure release
function.
When machinery is restarted, proceed with
caution after confirming that appropriate
measures are in place to prevent sudden
movement.
