combustions and recreation, or equipment in contact with food and
beverages, emergency stop circuits, clutch and brake circuits in press
applications, safety equipment or other applications unsuitable for the
standard specification described in the product catalogue.
3) An application which could have negative effects on people, property,
or animals requiring special safety analysis outside the scope of ISO
13849 described in this document.
4) Use in an interlock circuit, which requires the provision of double
interlock for possible failure by using a mechanical protective function,
and periodical checks to confirm proper operation.
•Always ensure compliance with relevant safety laws and standards.
All electrical work must be carried out in a safe manner by a qualified
person in compliance with applicable national regulations.
Caution
The product is provided for use in manufacturing industries.
The product herein described is basically provided for peaceful use in

3 Installation
3.1 Installation
Warning
•Do not install the product unless the safety instructions have been read
and understood.
•Line up tools with width across flats on the body and tighten firmly.
3.2 Environment
Warning
•Do not use in an environment where corrosive gases, chemicals, salt
water or steam are present.
•Do not use in an explosive atmosphere.
•Do not expose to direct sunlight. Use a suitable protective cover.
•Do not install in a location subject to vibration or impact Check the
product specifications.
•Do not mount in a location exposed to radiant heat.
3.3 Piping
Caution
•Before piping make sure to clean up chips, cutting oil, dust etc.
•When installing piping or fittings, ensure sealant material does not enter
inside the port. When using seal tape, leave 1.5 to 2 threads exposed on
the end of the pipe/fitting.
•Tighten fittings to the specified tightening torque.
3.4 Lubrication
Caution
•SMC products have been lubricated for life at manufacture, and do not
require lubrication in service.
•If a lubricant is used in the system, use turbine oil Class 1 (no additive),
ISO VG32. Once lubricant is used in the system, lubrication must be
continued because the original lubricant applied during manufacturing
will be washed away.

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
Even when used within the specification range, the check valve may
oscillate and not fully open when the check valve inlet is restricted.
The minimum working pressure is the pressure at the point when
the valve begins to open, not the pressure level when the valve is
fully open.
Take residual pressure into consideration.
The actuator may move during maintenance as a result of residual
pressure.
The check valve is designed to close as a result of differential
pressure created by the solenoid valve switching between primary
(IN) and secondary (OUT) pressure. If primary pressure (IN) drops
gently, and the differential pressure is smaller than minimum
working pressure or cracking pressure; please be aware that oulet
pressure may drop without the check valve closing.
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
