5. Preparation for operation
5.1 Operating environment
Use the product as a hydraulic power source for hydraulic equipment.
Operate it under the conditions below. Operation in other conditions may result in malfunction.
●
Installation location: Indoor environment free of combustible/corrosive/flammable gas or mist that
meets the following requirements.
- Ambient environment: See Sections 2.5 (Specifications), 3 (Installation of the ASE pump unit), and
4 (Installation of the AMSE controller).
- No obstruction that may prevent ventilation or make the nameplate invisible.
- The product is not waterproof and must not be used in water.
5.2 Hydraulic fluid
5.2.1 Fluid type
●
Petroleum based hydraulic fluid: Use a hydraulic fluid equivalent to ISO VG32 or 46.
Note) To use a hydraulic fluid other than petroleum based one (synthetic fluid, water based fluid,
etc.), consult us separately.
5.2.2 Fluid viscosity and temperature
Meet the following requirements for fluid viscosity and temperature during operation.
Viscosity: 20 to 400 mm
2
/s
Fluid temperature: 0 to 60 °C
5.2.3 Prevention of foreign matter invasion
Foreign matter entering hydraulic fluid may result in a shorter service life or failure of the pump.
Always keep the fluid clean (contamination level: JIS B9933 (ISO 4406) 20/18/14 or NAS 9 or
better).
♦
Never use the product in an explosive atmosphere, including locations where flammable gases or
explosives are handled. Doing so may result in fire, explosion, or any other serious and fatal
accident.
DANGER
♦
Use proper hydraulic fluid within the specified ranges of fluid temperature, viscosity, and
contamination level. Failure to do so may result in malfunction or fluid leakage, causing fire.
