Specific product precautions (1)
Be sure to read before handling.
Refer to “Handling Precautions for SMC Products” (M-E03-3) for Safety Instructions.
Design
Air Supply
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).
We do not guarantee against any damage if the
product is used outside of the specification range.
2.
Modification prohibited
Do not make any modifications, including additional
machining. It may cause human injury and/or an accident
and will void the warranty.
1. When vacuum adsorption and release are used
on the same line, the dust trapped by the vacuum
adsorption scatters again during vacuum release.
Therefore, both cacuum pressure and positive
pressure cannot be used together on the same
line.
1. Type of fluids
Please consult with SMC when using the product in
applications other than compressed air.
2. When there is a large amount of drainage
Compressed air containing a large amount of
drainage can cause the malfunction of pneumatic
equipment. An air dryer or water separator should be
installed upstream from filters.
3. Drain flushing
If condensation in the drain bowl is not emptied on a
regular basis, the bowl will overflow and allow the
condensation to enter the compressed air lines. This
causes the malfunction of pneumatic equipment. If
the drain bowl is difficult to check and remove, the
installation of a drain bowl with an auto drain option is
recommended.
Refer to “SMC Air Preparation System” for further details
on compressed air quality.
4. 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.
Mounting
Operating Environment
1. Operation manual
Install the products and operate them only after
reading the operation manual carefully and
understanding its contents. Also, keep the manual
where it can be referred to as necessary.
2. Maintenance space
Allow sufficient space for maintenance and
inspection.
3. Observe the tightening torque for screws.
Tighten the screws to the recommended torque for
mounting the product.
4. Connect tubing to the IN and OUT One-touch
fittings in accordance with the precautions for
One-touch fittings.
1. Connect the piping after checking the arrow
indication showing the flow direction on the
body. If the piping is connected the other way
around, it is not possible to seal the element.
2. Allow a sufficient margin of the tube length when
piping in order to prevent twisting, tensile,
moment loads, vibration, or impact being applied
to the tubes and filter body.
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.
