6 Maintenance
6.1 General Maintenance Caution
Not following proper maintenance procedures could cause the
product to malfunction and lead to equipment damage.
If handled improperly, compressed air can be dangerous.
Maintenance of pneumatic systems should be performed only by
qualified personnel.
Before performing maintenance, turn off the power supply and be
sure to cut off the supply pressure. Confirm that the air is released to
atmosphere.
After installation and maintenance, apply operating pressure and
power to the equipment and perform appropriate functional and
leakage tests to make sure the equipment is installed correctly.
If any electrical connections are disturbed during maintenance,
ensure they are reconnected correctly and safety checks are carried
out as required to ensure continued compliance with applicable
national regulations.
Do not make any modification to the product.
Do not disassemble the product, unless required by installation or
maintenance instructions.
Perform periodic inspections to ensure proper operation of the
product. Unexpected problems with a machine or equipment can be
minimized by verifying the operation of the product on a regular
basis.
Wear safety glasses when conducting periodic inspections.
Secure the space for maintenance. The maintenance cannot be done
when there is no space.
7 Limitations of Use
7.1 Limited warranty and Disclaimer/Compliance Requirements
The product used is subject to the following “Limited warranty
and Disclaimer” and “Compliance Requirements”. Read and
accept them before using the product.
Limited warranty and Disclaimer
1) The warranty period of the product is 1 year in service or 1.5 years
after the product is delivered, whichever is first(1). Also, the product
may have specified durability, running distance or replacement parts.
Please consult your nearest sales branch.
2) For any failure or damage reported within the warranty period
which is clearly our responsibility, a replacement product or
necessary parts will be provided.
This limited warranty applies only to our product independently, and
not to any other damage incurred due to the failure of the product.
3) Prior to using SMC products, please read and understand the
warranty terms and disclaimers noted in the specified catalogue for
the particular products.
(1) Vacuum pads are excluded from this 1 year warranty.
A vacuum pad is a consumable part, so it is warranted for a year after
it is delivered. Also, even within the warranty period, the wear of a
product due to the use of the vacuum pad or failure due to the
deterioration of rubber material are not covered by the limited
warranty.
Compliance Requirements
1) The use of SMC products with production equipment for the
manufacture of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) or any other
weapon is strictly prohibited.
2) The exports of SMC products or technology from one country to
another are governed by the relevant security laws and regulations of
the countries involved in the transaction. Prior to the shipment of a
SMC product to another country, assure that all local rules governing
that export are known and followed.
Caution
SMC products are not intended for use as instruments for legal
metrology.
Measurement instruments that SMC manufactures or sells have not
been qualified by type approval tests relevant to the metrology
(measurement) laws of each country.
Therefore, SMC products cannot be used for business or certification
ordained by the metrology (measurement) laws of each country.
Warning
If the pilot air pressure drops below the specified minimum
operating pressure the following might occur:
unexpected movement of the actuator when the pilot air pressure
is restored.
prevention or delay of a stopping or reversing of movement
an uncommanded change of the original position (without an input
signal).
The design of the safety system must take into account such
behaviour.
Additional measures might be necessary. For example, the
installation of an additional air tank to maintain the pilot pressure.
Such measures must be evaluated by risk assessment within the
validation process."
Do not exceed any of the specifications laid out in section 2 of
this document or the specific product catalogue.
This product cannot be used for accurate and precise
intermediate stops of the actuator.
Due to the compressibility of air as a fluid, the actuator will continue
to move until it reaches a position of pressure balance, even though
the pilot check valve closes with an intermediate stop signal.
7 Limitations of Use - continued
The product cannot be used to hold a stop position for an
extended period of time.
Pilot check valve and actuators are not guaranteed for zero air
leakage. Therefore, it is sometimes not possible to hold a stop
position for extended period of time. In the event that holding for an
extended time is necessary, a mechanical means for holding should
be devised.
Consider the release of residual pressure.
Actuators may move suddenly due to residual pressure, which can be
dangerous during maintenance procedures.
When used in a balance control circuit, there are instances in
which the check valve cannot release, even though the pilot
pressure is 50% of the operating pressure. In these cases, pilot
pressure should be the same as the operating pressure.
The check valve has construction, in which it is closed by the
differential pressure generated when the inlet pressure (IN side)
or outlet pressure (OUT side) solenoid valve is switched. Be
aware that the check valve does not close completely and the
outlet pressure (OUT side) may drop when the inlet pressure (IN
side) drops gently, and the differential pressure becomes
smaller than minimum operating pressure or cracking pressure.
Any use in an ISO 13849 system must be within the specified limits
and application conditions. The user is responsible for the
specification, design, implementation, validation and maintenance of
the safety system (SRP/CS).
