Warning 

Operating Environment

 

 
 

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 use in an environment where flammable 

gas or explosive gas exists. Usage may cause a 
fire or explosion. The products do not  have an 
explosion proof construction. 

3. Do not use in a place subject to heavy vibration 

and/or shock. 

4. The valve should not be exposed to prolonged 

sunlight. Use a protective cover. 

  Note that the valve is not for outdoor use. 
5. Remove any sources of excessive heat. 
6. If it is used in an environment where there is 

possible contact with oil, weld spatter, et., 
exercise preventive measures. 

7.  When the solenoid valve is mounted in a 

control panel or it’s energized for a long period 
of time, make sure the ambient temperature is 
within the specifications of the valve. 

 

 

  (1) Temperature of ambient environment 

Use the valve within the range of the ambient temperature 
specification of each valve. In addition, pay attention when 
using the valve in environments where the temperature 
changes drastically. 

(2) Humidity of ambient environment 

● When using the valve in environments with low humidity, take 

measures to prevent static. 

● If the humidity rises, take measures to prevent the adhesion of 

water droplets on the valve. 

 

Maintenance

 

 

 
 

1. Perform maintenance inspection according to 

the procedures indicated in the operation 
manual (this document). 

If handled improperly, human injury and/or malfunction or 
damage of machinery and equipment may occur. 

2. 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 off the supply air and electric power, 
and exhaust all air pressure from the system using the residual 
pressure release function. 
When the equipment is operated after remounting or 
replacement,  first confirm that measures are in place to 
prevent the  lurching of actuators, etc. Then, confirm that the 
equipment is operating normally. 

3. Low-frequency operation 

Valves should be operated at least once every 30 days to 
prevent malfunction. (Use caution regarding the air supply.) 

4. Manual override 

When a manual override is operated, connected equipment 
will be actuated. 
Operate only after safety is confirmed. 

5.  If the volume of air leakage increases or the 

valve does not operate normally, do not use 
the valve. 
Perform periodic maintenance on the valve to 
confirm the operating condition and check for 
any air leakage. 

 
 

1. Drain flushing 

Remove drainage from the air filters regularly. 

2. Lubrication 

Once lubrication has been started, it must be continued. 

Use class 1 turbine oil (with no additives), VG32. If other 
lubricant oil is used, it may cause a malfunction.
