1 Safety Instructions
This manual contains essential information for the protection of users and
others from possible injury and/or equipment damage.
• Read this manual before using the product, to ensure correct handling,
and read the manuals of related apparatus before use.
• Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
• These instructions indicate the level of potential hazard by label of
“Caution”, “Warning” or “Danger”, followed by important safety
information which must be carefully followed.
• To ensure safety of personnel and equipment the safety instructions in
this manual and the product catalogue must be observed, along with
other relevant safety practices.
Caution Indicates a hazard with a low level of risk, which if not
avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
Warning Indicates a hazard with a medium level of risk, which
if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Danger Indicates a hazard with a high level of risk, which if
not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
Warning
• The compatibility of pneumatic equipment is the responsibility of the
person who designs the pneumatic system or decides its specifications.
Since the products specified here can be used in various operating
conditions, their compatibility with the specific pneumatic system must
be based on specifications or after analysis and/or tests to meet specific
requirements.
• Only trained personnel should operate pneumatically operated
machinery and equipment.
Compressed air can be dangerous if an operator is unfamiliar with it.
Assembly, handling or repair of pneumatic systems should be performed
by trained and experienced personnel.
• Do not service machinery/equipment or attempt to remove
components until safety is confirmed.
1) Inspection and maintenance of machinery/equipment should only be
performed after confirmation of safe locked-out control positions.
2) When equipment is to be removed, confirm the safety process as
mentioned above. Switch off air and electrical supplies and exhaust all
residual compressed air in the system.
3) Before machinery/equipment is re-started, ensure all safety measures
to prevent sudden movement of cylinders etc. (Supply air into the
system gradually to create back pressure, i.e. incorporate a soft-start
valve).
• Do not use this product outside of the specifications. Contact SMC
if it is to be used in any of the following conditions:
1) Conditions and environments beyond the given specifications, or if
the product is to be used outdoors.
2) Installations in conjunction with atomic energy, railway, air navigation,
vehicles, medical equipment, food and beverage, recreation equipment,
emergency stop circuits, press applications, or safety equipment.
3) An application which has the possibility of having negative effects on
people, property, or animals, requiring special safety analysis.
Caution
• Ensure that the air supply system is filtered to 5 microns.

Caution
• Continuous energisation of the xtendevalve for e d periods of time may

have an adverse effect on the solenoid valve performance and the
peripheral equipment due to temperature rises caused by the heat
generation of the coil. Consult with SMC if valves will be continuously
energised for extended periods of time, or if the energised period per
day will be longer than the de-energised period. Use either DC
specification or power saving type.
When solenoid valves are mounted in a control panel, take measures
against radiation in order to keep the valve temperature within the
specified range. Use special caution when three or more stations
sequentially aligned on the manifold are continuously energised since
this will cause a drastic temperature rise.

3.10 Manual override operation
Warning
Without an electric signal for the solenoid valve the manual override is
used for switching the main valve.
When the manual override is operated, connected equipment will be
actuated. Confirm safety before operating.

Caution
When locking the manual override on the push-turn locking types (D or E

4.5 One-touch fittings
Caution
When using fittings, check their dimensions in the catalogue to avoid
possible interference between fittings of different types or sizes.
The following table shows the fittings which have been confirmed to be
applicable to the VF series. The fittings selected from this table will not
interfere with each other.

5 Maintenance
5.1 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.
• Do not make any modification to the product.
Do not disassemble the product, unless required by installation or
maintenance instructions.
Warning
1.Perform maintenance procedures as shown in the instruction
manual.
If handled improperly, malfunction and damage of machinery or
equipment may occur.
2. Removal of equipment, and supply/exhaust of compressed air
When components are removed, first confirm that measures are in place
to prevent workpieces from dropping, run-away equipment, etc. Then, cut
off the supply pressure and power, and exhaust all compressed air from
the system using the residual pressure release function.
When the equipment is operated after remounting or replacement, first
confirm that measures are in place to prevent lurching of actuators, etc.
Then, confirm that the equipment is operating normally.
3. Low frequency operation
Valves should be operated at least once every 30 days to prevent
malfunction. (Use caution regarding the air supply.)
5 Maintenance (Continued)
5.2 Supply air
Warning
Use clean air
Do not use compressed air that contains chemicals, synthetic oils
including organic solvents, salt or corrosive gases etc., as it can cause
damage or malfunction.
Caution
Install an air filter
Install an air filter upstream near the valve. Select an air filter with a
filtration of 5 μm or smaller.
6 Limitations of Use
Caution
• Leakage voltage
The suppressor residual voltage should be 3 % or less of the rated
voltage.
• Surge voltage suppressor
If a surge protection circuit contains non-ordinary diodes such as zener
diodes or varistor, a residual voltage will remain that is in proportion to
the protective elements & the rated voltage. Therefore, give
consideration to surge voltage protection of the controller. In the case of
diodes, the residual voltage is approximately 1 V.
• Low temperature operation
Unless otherwise indicated in the specifications for each valve, operation
is possible to -10℃, but appropriate measures should be taken to avoid
solidification or freezing of drainage and moisture, etc.
• Mounting orientation
Mounting orientation is universal.
