Warning
1. The compatibility of the product is the responsibility of the person who designs the equipment or
decides its specifications.
Since the product specified here is used under various operating conditions, its compatibility with specific
equipment must be decided by the person who designs the equipment or decides its specifications based on
necessary analysis and test results. The expected performance and safety assurance of the equipment will be the
responsibility of the person who has determined its compatibility with the product. This person should also
continuously review all specifications of the product referring to its latest catalog information, with a view to giving
due consideration to any possibility of equipment failure when configuring the equipment.
2. Only personnel with appropriate training should operate machinery and equipment.
The product specified here may become unsafe if handled incorrectly.
An operator who is appropriately trained and experienced must perform the assembly, operation and maintenance
of machines or equipment.
3. Do not service or attempt to remove product and machinery/equipment until safety is confirmed.
1. The inspection and maintenance of machinery/equipment should only be performed after measures to prevent
dropping of driven objects or run-away of machinery/equipment have been confirmed.
2. When the product is to be removed, confirm that the safety measures as mentioned above are implemented and
the power from any appropriate source is cut. Read and understand the specific product precautions of all
relevant products carefully.
3. Before machinery/equipment is restarted, take measures to prevent unexpected operation and malfunction.
4. Contact SMC beforehand and take special consideration of safety measures if the product is to be
used in any of the following conditions.
1. Conditions and environments outside of the given specifications, or use outdoors or in a location exposed to
direct sunlight.
2. Installation on equipment in conjunction with atomic energy, railways, air navigation, space, shipping, vehicles,
military, medical treatment, combustion and recreation, or equipment in contact with food and beverages,
emergency stop circuits, clutch and brake circuits in press applications, safety equipment or other applications
unsuitable for the standard specifications described in the product catalog.
3. An application which could have negative effects on people, property, or animals requiring special safety
analysis.
4. Use in an interlock circuit, which requires the provision of double interlock for possible failure by using a
mechanical protective function, and periodical checks to confirm proper operation. Check the product regularly in
order to confirm normal operation.
