Common Safety Instructions for Vacuum Generator VG and VK Series
Warning
Before selecting or using PISCO products, read the following instructions. Read the
detailed instructions for individual series.
1. For the operation of the valve, make sure that the leakage current is less than
1mA. Leakage current larger than that may cause malfunction.
2. The Vacuum Generator with retention function or check valve function permits
some vacuum leakage, so provide an appropriate safety measure when vacuum
retention for long period of time is required.
3. Long continuous power supply to the valve may raise the temperature of the coil.
Heat may cause damaging product life, malfunction, and burns or may adversely
affect the peripherical machines. Consult PISCO about such applications.
Caution
1. Do not give an excessive tensile strength and bending on a lead wire.
Otherwise, breaking wire or damage on connector may be caused.
2. When manifold type is selected, dropping the performance or having an
effect to other vacuum ports can be caused depending on number of
stations or a combination of mounting units. Contact us for any unclear
points.
3. Compressed air contains many kinds of drains such as water, oxidized oil,
tar and other foreign substances. Dehumidify the compressed air by using
an after-cooler or a dryer and improve the air quality, since those drains
seriously impair the performance of the vacuum generator.
4. Do not use lubricators.
5. Since pipe rust cause malfunctions, a filter finer than 5µm should be placed
right before the air supply port.
6. Do not use the vacuum generator under the condition of corrosive and/or
flammable gases. Also do not use these gasses as a fluid medium.
7. Do not operate blow-off solenoid valve during vacuum generating.
8. When replacing vacuum port cartridge, first remove any foreign matter
clinging to them and the surrounding areas, then firmly insert pins into
cartridges.
9. For handling and setting of vacuum switch, please read instruction manual
carefully.
10. For adjustment of vacuum blow-off air flow or blow-off time of air-timer
operated blow-off valve on VK Series, read the instructions carefully.
