Safety precautions (FRZ series)
❺
impor tant requirement such as in aircraft eguipment,
combustion equipment, leisure equipment, safety equipment,
and other places where human life or assets may be greatly
affected, take adequate safety precautions such as allowing
plenty of margin for ratings and performance, or fail-safe
measures. Contact the sales department at Koganei regarding
use in such applications.
●
Use a protective cover and other means to ensure that the
operating parts of mechanical devices are isolated and do not
come into direct contact with human bodies.
●
Do not configure control of the actuator in a way that could
cause workpieces to fall due to power failure.
Configure control of the system to prevent workpieces and
other items from falling due to power failure or by emergency
stops of mechanical devices.
●
Attach a muffler to the exhaust port.
It will reduce the noise during exhaust.
●
Lock the pressure regulation knob after regulating the pressure.
●
When handling the product, wear protective gloves, safety
glasses, safety shoes, and other protective clothing.
●
When the product can no longer be used or is no longer
necessary, dispose of it appropriately as industrial waste.
●
Pneumatic equipment can exhibit degraded performance and
function over its operating life. Always conduct daily
inspections of the pneumatic equipment, and confirm that all
requisite system functions are satisfied, to prevent accidents
from happening.
●
For inquiries about the product, consult your nearest Koganei
sales office or Koganei Overseas Department. The addresses
and telephone numbers are shown on the back cover of this
catalog.
Other precautions
●
Always observe the following items.
1. When using this product in pneumatic systems, always use
genuine Koganei parts or compatible parts (recommended
parts).
When conducting maintenance and repairs, always use
genuine Koganei parts or equivalent parts (recommended
parts).
Always observe the prescribed methods and procedures.
2. Never attempt inappropriate disassembly or assembly of
the product relating to basic configurations, or its
performance or functions.
3. The sales of pressure gauges with PSI indications in Japan
are prohibited by the Japanese law.
Koganei shall not be held responsible for any problems that
occur as a result of these items not being properly observed.
●
Do not use any type of medium that is not specifically
stipulated in the specifications. Using a non-specified medium
could lead to loss of function in the short term, sudden
degradation of performance, and a reduced operating life.
●
In initial operations after the equipment has been idle for 48
hours or more, or has been in storage, there is a possibility
that contacting parts may have become stuck, resulting in
equipment operation delays or in sudden movements. Before
these initial operations, always run a test to check that
operating performance is normal.
●
Do not use the product in locations that are subject to direct
sunlight (ultraviolet rays); locations with high humidity and
temperature, dust, salt, or iron powder. Do not use fluids in
the product or use the product in an environment that includes
corrosive fluids such as organic solvents, phosphate ester
type hydraulic oil, sulfur dioxide, chlorine gas, flon gas, ozone,
acids, alkaline, etc. It could lead to early shutdown of some
functions, a sudden degradation of performance, and a
reduced operating life. For information about materials, see
Major Parts and Materials.
●
When the device is not used for long periods (over 30 days), it
is possible that the contacting parts may have become stuck
leading to delayed operation or sudden movements, resulting
in injury. Check for proper operation a minimum of once every
30 days.
●
Do not place the wiring that controls the pressure switch near
power lines running a large current, powerful magnetic fields,
or where power surges occur. It could cause erratic operation.
●
Do not use the product at the beach in direct sunlight, near
mercury vapor lamps, or near equipment that generates
ozone. Ozone causes rubber components to deteriorate
resulting in reduced performance, or degradation or stop of
functions.
●
Do not use in locations where there is a heat source nearby
or that are subject to radiated heat.
CAUTION
●
When mounting the product, leave room for adequate working
space around it. Failure to do so will make it more difficult to
conduct daily inspections or maintenance, which could
eventually lead to system shutdown or damage to the product.
●
Whenever transporting or installing a heavy product, use a lift
or supports to securely support it, and use several people to
help lift it and take other precautions to ensure personal
safety.
●
Do not scratch, dent, or deform the product by climbing on it,
using it as a scaffold, or placing objects on top of it. Doing so
creates the risk of damage to or breakage of the product,
resulting in operational shutdown or degraded performance.
●
Always post an "operations in progress" sign for installations,
adjustments, or other operations, to avoid unintentional
supplying of air or electrical power, etc. Unintentional
supplying of air or electricity can cause electric shock or
sudden operation and may result in injury.
●
Do not bring any magnetic media or memory within 3.28 ft of
the product. There is a strong magnet inside the product and
the magnetic field of this magnet may damage the data on the
magnetic media.
●
If an electric leakage occurs on the control circuit, it may
cause the product to operate unexpectedly. Protect the control
circuit from electricity leaks so that electricity leaks do not
exceed the allowance in the product specifications.
●
Use the specified lubricant to lubricate sliding parts. Not doing
so leads to changes in the physical properties, deterioration
of the materials used, or reduced functionality.
●
Do not block the product's vent holes. The pressure will
fluctuate if the air volume changes during operations. If the
vents are blocked the pressure balance will be disrupted,
operations will no longer be as expected resulting in injury or
damage to equipment.
●
Use in extremely dry air under temperatures lower than -4 F
may affect the quality of the lubricating oil used. This creates
the risk of degraded performance, loss of function, or other
problems
