General safety notes
These operating instructions contain important information about the use of
the ejector system. Please read them carefully and keep them in a safe
place for future reference.
Compressed air can cause closed containers to explode. Vacuum can
cause sealed containers to implode. The vacuum generator also generates
noise –it may be advisable to wear ear protectors!
If the ejector is used for other than its intended purpose (in other words, if it
is used to draw in hazardous dust, oil mist, vapours, aerosols, etc.), these
will be ejected with the exhaust air and may have negative effects on the
health of persons in the vicinity. Always use suitable and approved vacuum
filters.
Only the connection facilities, mounting holes and mounting elements pro-
vided by Schmalz may be used.
Always disconnect the supply voltage and the compressed-air supply before
installing or removing the ejector!
The components of the system may be used only by reliable persons who are
trained and familiar with, amongst other things:
the currently applicable safety regulations and requirements for the use of
the components and their controllers in machines and equipment (for sole-
noid valves, pressure switches, electronic controllers, etc.)
and the electrical control signals needed for them, such as redundancy and
any necessary feedback signals (for solenoid valves, pressure switches,
electronic controllers, etc.).
No persons may enter the area underneath the lifted load!
Use for the intended purpose
The ejector system serves to generate a vacuum and can be used to evacuate
such things as suction pads designed to grip loads or to evacuate vessels of
other kinds. It is approved for the evacuation of air or of other neutral gases in
accordance with EN 983.
The ejector system is not intended for the transport (extraction) of liquids or
granulates!

General functional description
VACUUM GENERATION (GRIPPING)
The ejector is designed for the handling of parts with the aid of vacuum. With
the compressed-air supply connected, an external control signal (Suction on)
starts (NC ejector) or stops (NO ejector) vacuum generation by actuating an
integrated valve. The integrated sensor detects the actual system vacuum,
which is used for the display of the system states.
Depending on the selected air saving function, the electronic controller switches
off vacuum generation when the preset threshold value is reached. The safety
non-return valve prevents the loss of vacuum when handling workpieces with
smooth, airtight surfaces. If the system vacuum drops, as the result of leaks,
below the preset hysteresis value, vacuum generation is started again.
The ejector has various monitoring and diagnostic functions. For example, the
air saving function cycle is monitored and a suitable diagnostic signal is gener-
ated if this deviates from the permissible values. The available functions are
described in more detail in the following sections.
BLOWING OFF (RELEASING)
A second external signal (Blow off) injects compressed air into the vacuum cir-
cuit of the ejector systems to ensure that the vacuum drops quickly and the
workpiece can be released immediately.
In addition to direct control with the external blow-off signal, there are two fur-
ther blow-off functions. The first is where the desired blow-off duration is set in
the ejector system. An external signal at the input then initiates the blow-off op-
eration and this is terminated automatically after the preset time.
If the function "automatic blow-off" is selected, the blow-off operation is started
automatically when the external signal SUCTION OFF is applied (NO ejector) or
the external signal SUCTION ON is switched off (NC ejector). In each case, the
blow-off operation lasts for the period set in the ejector system. This means that
no additional signal is needed to release the workpiece.
Ejectors equipped with the power blow-off module (SXMP) may not be operated
with the vacuum connection closed.
VACUUM DISPLAY
The actual system vacuum is permanently displayed on the 3-digit display. The
currently selected unit of measurement can be displayed briefly by pressing the
<ENTER> key in display mode.
The four LEDs below the display show how the current vacuum level relates to
the threshold values set in the system.

PUTTING INTO SERVICE
Installation and operation
Amongst other things, the following must be observed and complied with in or-
der to ensure correct installation and trouble-free operation of the ejector sys-
tem:
Carefully remove the components from their packing materials.
Take care that the components are not damaged during installation.
Disconnect the supply voltage and the compressed-air supply during instal-
lation and maintenance and ensure that they cannot be switched on inad-
vertently.
The system may be operated with a supply voltage provided only by a pow-
er supply unit which supplies a protective low voltage (PELV) and which en-
sures safe isolation from the mains voltage in accordance with EN60204.
The system may not be operated outside the specified performance limits,
since this may cause malfunctions or result in destruction of the system!
The system may not be operated in explosion-hazard areas, since this may
result in fire or explosions!
The components of the system may not be modified in any manner.
The connectors on the components are marked with symbols and designa-
tions, which must always be observed.
Only the standard connection facilities may be used.
Pneumatic lines and electric cables must be permanently connected to the
components and secured to prevent them from being pulled off.
Non-compliance with the above rules may result in malfunctions, in damage
to the system and even in (possibly fatal) injuries to persons.
The factory warranty no longer applies if the “tested” sticker is damaged.
If the ejector system is taken out of service, its components must be dis-
posed of in an environmentally friendly manner!

Mounting
Read the safety notes carefully before mounting the ejector system!
INSTALLATION
The system may be installed in any desired orientation.
Use only suitably treated compressed air (with or without oil - see the tech-
nical data).
The quality of the compressed air is decisive for achieving the optimum op-
erating lifetime of the ejector systems.
Electrical connections
The supply voltage and signals are connected to the system via M12 male
connectors.
Depending on the configuration, the system has either one 5-pin male con-
nector and one 4-pin male connector or one 5-pin male connector and one
8-pin male connector. All connectors have M12 threads. The pin assign-
ments can be found in the section "Technical Data".
The system may be operated with a supply voltage provided only by a pow-
er supply unit which supplies a protective low voltage (PELV) and which en-
sures safe isolation from the mains voltage in accordance with EN60204.

Pneumatic connections
Use large-diameter vacuum hoses up to a point as close as possible to the
suction pads!
Use only hoses and pipes with the recommended internal cross-sections
(see the table below). If this is not possible, use a hose or pipe with the next
larger internal cross-section.
Make sure that there are no particles of dirt or other foreign bodies in the
system connectors or the hoses.
The use of a hose or pipe with an insufficient internal cross-section on the
compressed-air side will prevent the system from receiving enough com-
pressed air for optimal operation.
Hoses or pipes with insufficient internal cross-sections on the vacuum side
will cause excessive flow resistance along the walls of the hose or pipe, and
this will have negative effects on the suction capacity and the evacuation
times. The high flow resistance will result in longer blow-off times.
Hoses should be kept as short as possible in order to minimise the reaction
times of the system.
Ensure that the hoses are not kinked or pinched.

MOUNTING THE DUAL QUICK-CHANGE BLOCK
When mounting the ejector SXP/SXMP...Q on a quick-change system, always
proceed in the following order:
Press the unlocking lever fully downwards and hold it there.
Position the ejector correctly on the quick-.change system with the aid of the
centring pin and push it fully downwards.
Release the unlocking lever so that it returns to its normal position.
The ejector system may be operated only with the unlocking lever fully extend-
ed and with the ejector correctly locked into position.
Always turn off the compressed-air supply before actuating the unlocking lever
of the quick-change system!
ADJUSTING THE BLOW-OFF VOLUME FLOW
The throttle screw located below the pilot valves can be used
to adjust the blow-off volume flow.
Turing this screw clockwise reduces the volume flow, turning
it counter clockwise increases it.
The throttle screw is equipped with stops at each end of its
permissible travel.
Never attempt to turn the throttle screw past its stops! For technical reasons,
there must always be a certain minimum volume flow, which means that the
flow cannot be reduced to zero!
