Warning
1. The compatibility of the product is the responsibility of the person who designs the equipment or
decides its specifications.
Since the product specified here is used under various operating conditions, its compatibility with specific
equipment must be decided by the person who designs the equipment or decides its specifications based
on necessary analysis and test results.
The expected performance and safety assurance of the equipment will be the responsibility of the person
who has determined its compatibility with the product.
This person should also continuously review all specifications of the product referring to its latest catalog
information, with a view to giving due consideration to any possibility of equipment failure when
configuring the equipment.
2. Only personnel with appropriate training should operate machinery and equipment.
The product specified here may become unsafe if handled incorrectly.
The assembly, operation and maintenance of machines or equipment including our products must be
performed by an operator who is appropriately trained and experienced.
3. Do not service or attempt to remove product and machinery/equipment until safety is confirmed.
The inspection and maintenance of machinery/equipment should only be performed after measures to
prevent falling or runaway of the driven objects have been confirmed.
When the product is to be removed, confirm that the safety measures as mentioned above are
implemented and the power from any appropriate source is cut, and read and understand the specific
product precautions of all relevant products carefully.
Before machinery/equipment is restarted, take measures to prevent unexpected operation and
malfunction.
4. Contact SMC beforehand and take special consideration of safety measures if the product is to
be used in any of the following conditions.
1) Conditions and environments outside of the given specifications, or use outdoors or in a place exposed
to direct sunlight.
2) Installation on equipment in conjunction with atomic energy, railways, air navigation, space, shipping,
vehicles, military, medical treatment, combustion and recreation, or equipment in contact with food and
beverages, emergency stop circuits, clutch and lock circuits in press applications, safety equipment or
other applications unsuitable for the standard specifications described in the product catalog.
3) An application which could have negative effects on people, property, or animals requiring special
safety analysis.
4) Use in an interlock circuit, which requires the provision of double interlock for possible failure by using
a mechanical protective function, and periodical checks to confirm proper operation.
Note that the
CAUTION level may lead to a serious consequence according to conditions. Please follow the
instructions of both levels because they are important to personnel safety.
