Always observe the following items.
1.
When using this product in pneumatic systems, always use
genuine Koganei parts or compatible parts (recommended parts).
When conducting maintenance and repairs, always use genuine
Koganei parts or equivalent parts (recommended parts).
Always observe the prescribed methods and procedures.
2.
Never attempt inappropriate disassembly or assembly of the
product relating to basic configurations, or its performance or
functions.
Koganei shall not be held responsible for any problems that occur as a
result of these items not being properly observed.
●
When considering the possibility of using this product in situations or
environments not specifically noted in the catalog or instruction
manual, or in applications where safety is an important requirement
such as in aircraft eguipment, combustion equipment, leisure
equipment, safety equipment, and other places where human life or
assets may be greatly affected, take adequate safety precautions
such as allowing plenty of margin for ratings and performance, or fail-
safe measures. Contact the sales department at Koganei regarding
use in such applications.
●
When handling the product, wear protective gloves, safety glasses,
safety shoes, and other protective clothing.
●
When the product can no longer be used, or is no longer necessary,
dispose of it appropriately, according to the “Law Regarding the
Disposal and Cleaning of Waste” or other local governmental rules
and regulations, as industrial waste.
●
Pneumatic equipment can exhibit degraded performance and function
over its operating life. Always conduct daily inspections of the
pneumatic equipment, and confirm that all requisite system functions
are satisfied, to prevent accidents from happening.
●
Air leakage of the solenoid valves cannot be cut to zero. Take volume and
holding time requirements into consideration when designing pressure
(including vacuum) retention in the pressure vessel, and other factors.

holding time requirements into consideration when designing pressure
(including vacuum) retention in the pressure vessel, and other factors.
●
For double solenoid type (excluding the Tandem 3-port valve), do not
apply current through both solenoids simultaneously. It is impossible
in such a situation to maintain the correct valve position,and the
equipment may operate in an unintended direction, leading to the
possibility of equipment breakdown or personal injury.
●
For double solenoid types, due to the valve position when newly
purchased, connected equipment may operate in unintentional
directions,and may lead to damage of the machine, or personal
injury, so prepare countermeasures to avoid danger.
●
Do not locate the solenoid valve and the wiring that controls it near
power lines running a large current, powerful magnetic fields, or
where power surges occur. Doing so could cause erratic operation.
●
Solenoid valves generate surge voltage and electromagnetic waves
at the OFF operation, which can interfere with the operation of
nearby equipment. Use a surge protected solenoid or implement
appropriate surge and electromagnetic protection measures for the
electrical circuitry.
●
Do not use the product at the beach, in direct sunlight, near mercury
vapor lamps, or near equipment that generates ozone. Ozone causes
rubber components to deteriorate resulting in reduced performance,
or a limitation or stop of functions.(Excluding items with
measurements against ozone.)
●
Do not use any type of medium that is not specifically stipulated in the
specifications. Using a non-specified medium could lead to short term
loss of function, sudden degradation of performance, and a reduced
operating life.
●
When a solenoid valve is installed within the control panel and when
the energizing time is long, implement heat dissipation measures in
order to keep the temperature around the solenoid within
specifications. Also note that continuous energizing for long periods
will result in heat generation by the coil which can lead to deterioration
of solenoid valve performance and shortening of its service life, and
can adversely affect nearby equipment. Contact Koganei if you need
to continuously energize for long periods or if the energizing time in a
day needs to be longer than the deenergizing time.
●
After completing wiring work, check to make sure that all connections
are correct before turning on power.
●
When using the valve in a manifold, be aware when operating an air
cylinder, or performing air blowing operations, back pressure could cause
erratic operations of the cylinder or erroneous air delivery from the air blow
port. Caution is particularly needed when operating single acting cylinders,
or when operating a cylinder and blowing air from the same manifold.
●
Do not use the product in locations subject to direct sunlight
(ultraviolet radiation), high temperatures or high humidity, dust, salt,
or iron powder. Do not expose the product to fluids or an ambient
atmosphere that contains organic solvents, phosphate-based
hydraulic fluid, sulfur dioxide gas, chlorine gas, acids, etc. It could
lead to early shutdown of some functions, a sudden degradation of
performance, and a reduced operating life. For information about
materials, see Materials of major parts.
注 意
●
When mounting the product, leave room for adequate working space
around it. Failure to do so will make it more difficult to conduct daily
inspections or maintenance, which could eventually lead to system
shutdown or damage to the product.
●
Whenever transporting or installing a heavy product, use a lift or
supports to securely support it, and use several people to help lift it
and take other precautions to ensure personal safety.
●
Do not bring any magnetic media or memory media, or other similar
items within one meter of an energized solenoid valve. Doing so creates
the risk of damage to data on the magnetic media due to magnetism.
●
If leakage current is flowing in the control circuit, there is a possibility of
the product performing an unintended operation. Take measures against
current leaking in the control circuit, to ensure that the leakage current
value does not exceed the allowed range in the product specifications.
●Do not use a solenoid valve in locations subject to large electrical currents
or strong magnetic fields. Doing so could result in erratic operation.
●
Oil from a compressor (except from the oil free compressor) can
greatly reduce product performance and can even cause functional
stoppages. Be sure to install a mist filter before pneumatic equipment
to remove oil.
●
The properties of the lubrication oil can change when used in dry air
where dew point temperatures is lower than –20°C [–4°F]. It could
result in degraded performance or in functional shutdown.
●
While the product is in operation, avoid touching it with your hands or
otherwise approaching too close. Heat generated by the coil can
cause burn injury.
