Specific Product Precautions
Be sure to read this before handling the products.
Refer to “Handling Precautions for SMC Products” (M-E03-3) for Safety Instructions
Design
1.
Confirm the specifications.
Products represented in this catalog are
designed only for use in compressed air
systems (including vacuum).
Do not operate at pressures, temperatures,
etc., beyond the
range of specifications, as
this can cause damage or malfunction. (Refer
to the specifications.)
Please contact SMC when using a fluid other
than compressed air (including vacuum).
2. The product may be damaged if used in the
line with continuous pressurisation.
3. Modification prohibited
Do not make any modifications, including
additional machining.
It may cause human injury and/or an accident
and will void the warranty.
Mounting
1. Maintenance space
Allow sufficient space for maintenance and
inspection.
2. Connect tubing to the IN and OUT
One-touch fittings in accordance with the
precautions for Onetouch fittings.
1. Connect the piping to the correct ports, IN
and OUT.
This product cannot be used
when the connection is reversed.
2. Allow a sufficient margin of tube length
when piping in order to prevent twisting,
tensile, moment loads, vibration, or impact
being applied to the tubes and filter body.
Air Supply
1. Use clean air.
Do not use compressed air that contains
chemicals, synthetic oils that include organic
solvents, salt, corrosive gases, etc., as they
can cause damage or malfunction.
Operating Environment
1. Do not use in an atmosphere where
corrosive gases, chemicals, sea water,
water, or water steam is present. Do not
use in cases where there is direct contact
with any of the above.
2. Do not use in a place subject to heavy
vibration and/or impact.
3. Do not use in an environment where
flammable gas or explosive gas is present.
Usage may cause a fire or explosion. The
products do not have an explosion proof
construction.
4. The valve should not be exposed to
prolonged sunlight.
Use a protective cover if necessary.
5. Remove any sources of excessive heat.
6. In locations where there is contact with
water, oil, weld spatter, etc., take suitable
protective measures.
Maintenance
1. Maintenance work
If handled improperly, compressed air can be
dangerous.
The assembly, handling, repair, and element
replacement of pneumatic systems should be
performed by a knowledgeable and
experienced person.
2. Removal of equipment and supply/exhaust
of compressed air
When components are removed, first confirm
that measures are in place to prevent
workpieces from dropping, run-away
equipment, etc. Then, cut off the supply
pressure and electric power, and exhaust all
compressed air from the system using the
residual pressure release function.
When the equipment is operated after
remounting or replacement, confirm that the
equipment is operating normally.
