[Ground]
Warning
(1) Be sure to ground the electric actuator.
(2) Grounding should be dedicated ground.
Ground construction is Class D grounding.
(Ground resistance 100 Ω or less)
(3) Make the grounding as close as possible to the electric actuator and shorten the distance to
ground.
[Unpackaging]
Caution
(1) Check the received product is as ordered.
If a different product is installed from the one ordered, injury or damage can result.
13.4 Operating environment
Warning
(1) Do not use the product in environment below.
a. Locations where a large amount of dusts and cutting chips are airborne.
b. Locations where the ambient temperature is outside the range of the temperature specification (refer
to specifications).
c. Locations where the ambient humidity is outside the range of the humidity specification (refer to
specifications).
d. Locations where corrosive gas, flammable gas, seawater, water and steam are present.
e. Locations where strong magnetic or electric fields are generated.
f. Locations where direct vibration or impact is applied to the product.
g. Areas that are dusty, or are exposed to splashes of water and oil drops.
h. Areas exposed to direct sunlight (ultraviolet ray).
i. Environment at an altitude of 1000 meters or higher
Heat radiation and withstand voltage will decrease. Contact SMC for details.
(2) Do not use in an environment where the product is directly exposed to liquid, such as cutting oils.
If cutting oils, coolant or oil mist contaminates the product, failure or increased sliding resistance can
result.
(3) Install a protective cover when the product is used in an environment directly exposed to
foreign matters such as dust, cutting chips and spatter.
Play or increased sliding resistance can result.
(4) Shade the sunlight in the place where the product is applied with direct sunshine.
(5) Shield the valve from radiated heat generated by nearby heat sources.
The radiated heat from the heat source can increase the temperature of the product beyond the
operating temperature range.
(6) Grease oil can be decreased due to external environment and operating conditions, and it
deteriorates lubrication performance to shorten the life of the product.
[Storage]
Warning
(1) Do not store the product in direct contact with rain or water drops or is exposed to harmful gas
or liquid.
(2) Store in an area that is shaded from direct sunlight and has a temperature and humidity within
the specified range (-10
o
C to 60
o
C and 35 to 85% No condensation or freezing).
(3) Do not apply vibration and impact to the product during storage.
