1 Safety Instructions
This manual contains essential information for the protection of users and
others from possible injury and/or equipment damage.
•
Read this manual before using the product, to ensure correct handling,
and read the manuals of related apparatus before use.
•
Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
•
These instructions indicate the level of potential hazard by label of
“Caution”, “Warning” or “Danger”, followed by important safety
information which must be carefully followed.
•
To ensure safety of personnel and equipment the safety instructions in
this manual and the product catalogue must be observed, along with
other relevant safety practices.
Caution
Indicates a hazard with a low level of risk, which if
not avoided, could result in minor or moderate
injury.
Warning
Indicates a hazard with a medium level of risk,
which if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
Danger
Indicates a hazard with a high level of risk, which
if not avoided, will result in death or serious
injury.
•
The compatibility of pneumatic equipment is the responsibility of the
person who designs the pneumatic system or decides its specifications.
Since the products specified here can be used in various operating
conditions, their compatibility with the specific pneumatic system must
be based on specifications or after analysis and/or tests to meet specific
requirements.
•
Only trained personnel should operate pneumatically operated
machinery and equipment.
Compressed air can be dangerous if an operator is unfamiliar with it.
Assembly, handling or repair of pneumatic systems should be performed
by trained and experienced personnel.
•
Do not service machinery/equipment or attempt to remove
components until safety is confirmed.
1) Inspection and maintenance of machinery/equipment should only be
performed after confirmation of safe locked-out control positions.
2) When equipment is to be removed, confirm the safety process as
mentioned above. Switch off air and electrical supplies and exhaust all
residual compressed air in the system.
1 Safety Instructions (continued)
3) Before machinery/equipment is re-started, ensure all safety measures to
prevent sudden movement of cylinders etc. (Supply air into the system
gradually to create back pressure, i.e. incorporate a soft-start valve).
•
Do not use this product outside of the specifications. Contact SMC
if it is to be used in any of the following conditions:
1) Conditions and environments beyond the given specifications, or if the
product is to be used outdoors.
2) Installations in conjunction with atomic energy, railway, air navigation,
vehicles, medical equipment, food and beverage, recreation equipment,
emergency stop circuits, press applications, or safety equipment.
3) An application which has the possibility of having negative effects on
people, property, or animals, requiring special safety analysis.
1.1 Specific recommendations:
•
Protect from impacts using an ATEX enclosure suitable for impacts.
•
Not suitable for Zones 0/20 and Zones 1/21. Only suitable for Zones
2/22.
•
This product has components made of aluminium alloy. When mounting
this product, it must be installed such that, even in the event of rare
incidents, ignition sources due to impact and friction sparks are
excluded.
•
Do not brush or wipe this product to avoid static charge build up. Static
charge can cause a spark or ignition source.
•
Ensure that the air supply system is filtered to 5 microns.

Note 1) Impact resistance: There should be no malfunction of the valve
after testing, using a drop impact tester, along the valve axis and
at right-angles to the valve and armature. Carry out each test with
the valve energised and de-energised (Value at the initial stage).
Vibration resistance; There should be no malfunction of the valve
after testing, using a 8.3 to 2000 Hz sweep along the valve axis
and at right-angles to the valve and armature. Carry out each test
with the valve energised and de-energised (Value at the initial
stage).
Note 2) The power saving circuit is included in the manifold.
