3 Installation
3.1 Installation Warning
•Do not install the product unless the safety instructions have been read
and understood.
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 in excess of
the product’s specifications.
•Do not mount in a location exposed to radiant heat that would result in
temperatures in excess of the product’s specifications.
•Products compliant with IP65 enclosures are protected against dust
and water, however, these products cannot be used in water.

3.3.1 One-touch fittings Caution
When fittings are used, they may interfere with one another depending
on their types and sizes. Therefore, the dimensions of the fittings to be
used should first be confirmed in their respective catalogues. Refer to
catalogue for fittings compliant with VF series. If the fitting within the
applicable range is selected, there will not be any interference.
3.3.2 Precautions on other tube brands
Caution
Refer to the Specific Product Precautions in the fittings and tubing
catalogue.
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, refer to catalogue for details.
3.5 Air supply Warning
•Use clean air. If the compressed air supply includes chemicals,
synthetic materials (including organic solvents), salinity, corrosive gas
etc., it can lead to damage or malfunction.
Caution
•Install an air filter upstream of the valve. Select an air filter with a
filtration size of 5 μm or smaller.
3.6 Manual override Warning
•Regardless of an electric signal for the valve, the manual override is
used for switching the main valve. Since connected equipment will
operate when the manual override is activated, confirm that conditions
are safe prior to activation.
•Locked manual overrides might prevent the valve responding to being
electrically de-energised or cause unexpected movement in the
equipment.
•Refer to the catalogue for details of manual override operation.
•Do not apply excessive torque when turning the locking type manual
override (0.1 N·m or less).
3.7 Mounting Caution
•Ensure gaskets are in good condition, not deformed and are dust and
debris free.
•When mounting valves ensure gaskets are present, aligned and
securely in place and tighten the M4 (M4 x 39.5 for VF1000/3000, M4
x 48 for VF5000) mounting screws to a torque of 1.4 N∙m.
3.8 Electrical circuits Caution
•Surge suppression should be specified by using the appropriate part
number. If a valve type without suppression (Type ‘Nil’) is used,
suppression must be provided by the host controller as close as
possible to the valve.
•Please connect correctly the lead wires to + (positive) and –(negative)
indications on the connector. (For non-polar type, the lead wires can
be connected to either one.)
•When the valve with polarity protection diode is used, the voltage will
drop by approx. 1 V. Therefore, pay attention to the allowable voltage
fluctuation (For details, refer to thesolenoid specifications of each type
of valve).
•Solenoids, whose lead wires have been pre-wired: + (positive) side red
and –(negative) side black.

3.10 Residual voltage Caution
•If a diode or varistor voltage suppressor is used, the suppressor arrests
the back EMF voltage from the coil to the level indicated in Table 6.
•Ensure the transient voltage is within the specification of the host
controller.

selected.

3.11 Countermeasure for surge voltage
Caution
•At times of sudden interruption of the power supply, the energy stored
in a large inductive device may cause non-polar type valves in a de-
energised state to switch.
•When installing a breaker circuit to isolate the power, consider a valve
with polarity (with polarity protection diode), or install a surge
absorption diode across the output of the breaker.
3.12 Extended period of continuous energization
Warning
•If a valve will be continuously energized for an extended period of time,
the temperature of the valve will increase due to the heat generated by
the coil assembly. This will likely adversely affect the performance of
the valve and any nearby peripheral equipment. Therefore, if the valve
is to be energized for periods of longer than 30 minutes at a time or if
during the hours of operation the energized period per day is longer
than the de-energized period, we advise using a valve with
specifications listed below.
•Pilot operated: A 0.4 W or lower valve, such as the SY series, or a
valve with a power-saving circuit.
3.13 Effect of back pressure when using a manifold
Warning
•Use caution whenvalves are used on a manifold, because an actuator
may malfunction due to back-pressure.
•Special caution must be taken when using 3 position exhaust centre
valve or when driving a single acting cylinder. To prevent a
malfunction, implement counter measures such as using a single EXH
spacer assembly or an individual exhaust manifold.

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 electricalconnections 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.
6.2 Mounting Caution
Refer to 3.7 Mounting for how to mount valve to sub-plate or manifold.
6.3 Maintainable parts Caution
•Refer to catalogue for how to order pilot for how to order and replace
pilot valves (Not available for Low wattage specification valves).
Recommended tightening torque for M2.5 pilot valve mounting screws:
0.32 N∙m.
•Refer to catalogue for how to order gaskets, mounting screws,
manifold accessories, electrical connector assemblies and sub-plates.

Note) Applies to when the spool is at the end position and at an intermediate
position.
7.3 Cannot be used as an emergency shut-off valve
This product is not designed for safety applications such as an
emergency shut-off valve. If the valves are used in this type of system,
other reliable safety assurance measures should be adopted.
7.4 Intermediate stopping
Refer to Handling Precautions for 3/4/5 port Solenoid Valves.
7.5 Holding of pressure
Since valves are subject to air leakage, they cannot be used for
applications such as holding pressure (including vacuum) in a system.
Caution
7.6 Leakage voltage
Ensure that any leakage voltagecaused by the leakage current when the
switching element is OFF causes ≤ 3% (for DC coils) or ≤ 8% (for AC
coils) of the rated voltage across the valve.
7 Limitations of Use - continued
7.7 Low temperature operation
Unless otherwise indicated in the specifications for each valve, operation
is possible to -10˚C, but appropriate measures should be taken to avoid
solidification or freezing of drainage and moisture, etc.
7.8 Momentary energization
If a double solenoid valve is operated with momentary energization, it
should be energized for at least 0.1 second. However, depending on the
secondary load conditions, it should be energized until the cylinder
reaches the stroke end position, as there is a possibility of malfunction
otherwise.
