2Fundamental Safety Instructions
2.1Intended Use
The ejector is designed to generate a vacuum for gripping and transporting objects when used in conjunc-
tion with suction cups. It is operated by a controller with discrete signals or via IO-Link.
The product is built in accordance with the latest standards of technology and is delivered in a safe oper-
ating condition; however, hazards may arise during use.
The product is intended for industrial use.
Intended use includes observing the technical data and the installation and operating instructions in this
manual.
2.2Non-Intended Use
Schmalz accepts no liability for damages caused by non-intended usage of the ejector.
In particular, the following are considered non-intended use:
• Use in potentially explosive atmospheres
• Use for medical applications
• Evacuation of objects that are in danger of imploding
• Filling pressurized containers, driving cylinders, valves or other pressure-op-
erated functional elements
2.3Personnel Qualification
Unqualified personnel cannot recognize dangers and are therefore exposed to higher risks!
The operating company must ensure the following points:
• The personnel must be commissioned for the activities described in these
operating instructions.
• The staff must be at least 18 years of age and physically and mentally capa-
ble.
• The operating staff have been instructed in the operation of the product
and have read and understood the operating instructions.
• Installation, maintenance, and repairs must be carried out only by specialists
or by persons who can prove that they have undergone appropriate train-
ing.
Applicable for Germany:
A qualified employee is defined as an employee who has received technical training and has the knowl-
edge and experience – including knowledge of applicable regulations – necessary to enable him or her to
recognize possible dangers and implement the appropriate safety measures while performing tasks. Qual-
ified employees must observe the relevant industry-specific rules and regulations.

2 Fundamental Safety Instructions
10 / 86 EN-US · 30.30.00.00424 · 07 · 10/23
WARNING
Uncontrolled movements of system components or falling objects caused by incor-
rect activation and switching of the device while persons are in the plant (safety
door opened and actuator circuit switched off)
Serious injury
4Ensure that the components are enabled via the actuator voltage by installing a poten-
tial separation between the sensor and actuator voltage.
4Wear the required personal protective equipment (PPE) when working in the danger
zone.
CAUTION
Depending on the purity of the ambient air, the exhaust air can contain particles,
which escape from the exhaust air outlet at high speed.
Eye injuries!
4Do not look into the exhaust air flow.
4Wear eye protection.
CAUTION
Vacuum close to the eye
Severe eye injury!
4Wear eye protection.
4Do not look into vacuum openings such as suction lines and hoses.

EN-US · 30.30.00.00424 · 07 · 10/23 13 / 86
Meaning of the Vacuum Limit Value LEDs
The LEDs for the vacuum limit values H1 and H2 indicate the current level of the system vacuum relative
to the configured limit values. Their display is independent of the switching function and assignment of
the output, and independent of whether the condition monitoring function is active.
Display Ejector state
LEDs are both off Rising vacuum:
Vacuum < H2
Falling vacuum:
Vacuum < (H2-h2)
H2 LED lit steadily Rising vacuum:
Vacuum > H2 and < H1
Falling vacuum:
Vacuum > (H2-h2) and < (H1-h1)
Both LEDs continuously lit Rising vacuum:
Vacuum > H1
Falling vacuum:
Vacuum > (H1-h1)

2) Plus the output currents
3) The signal output is protected against short circuits. However, the signal output is not protected
against overloading. Constant load currents > 0.15A may lead to impermissible heating and therefore the
destruction of the ejector.
