1. Product Specific Precautions 1
Precautions 1 Be sure to read before handling.
Design
Warning
●All models
1. The body material is A6063, the bellows is SUS316L, and other metal material is SUS304.
The seal material for vacuum environment is FKM. The armature assembly for vacuum
uses fluorine type resin (PFA). Use fluids those are compatible with using materials after
confirming. A valve for vacuum environment uses vacuum grease (fluorine type
grease:Y-VAC3).
2. If no control power is provided, apply starting voltage only for 0.15 to 0.2s. After that,
be sure to apply holding voltage (25% of starting voltage). If this operation is neglected,
it will cause coil burning and fire.
3. When starting voltage is applied, large current runs. Therefore, select a circuit
component after checking the current on the specifications.
4. Be sure to place a fuse or an earth leakage breaker for a power supplying circuit.
5. Leakage current from a circuit should be 70mA or less. If the voltage between coil
terminals becomes DC1V or more, the valve will not be closed.
6. Fluctuation of each voltage should be +/- 10% or less.
Selection
Caution
●All models
1. Use within the limits of the operating pressure range.
Mounting
Caution
● All models
1. In high humidity environments, keep the valve packed until the time of installation.
2. Perform piping so that excessive force is not applied to the flange sections. When there is
vibration from heavy objects or attachments, etc., fix piping so that vibration will not apply
torque directly to the flange section.
Piping
Caution
1. Before mounting, clean the surface of the flange seal and the O-ring with ethanol, etc.
2. There is an indentation of 0.1 to 0.2mm designed to protect the flange seal surface.
Be careful when handling the product to prevent any damage to the seal surface .
3. If a control power supply is provided, DC specification has polarity. Follow the
indication shown on the end of lead wire.
4. A wire for wiring should be 0.5 to 1.25mm2or more as reference.
5. Give enough curvature to the lead wire not to have excessive force when it is fixed.
6. Fluid containing foreign matters and oil will cause malfunction and sealing failure.
Remove such things from the fluid.

- 5 - XL*****-OMI0013-B
Maintenance
Warning
If the fluid or reaction product (deposit) may cause the valve to become unsafe, the valve
should be disassembled, cleaned and re-assembled by an operator who has sufficient
knowledge and experience (e.g. a specialist).
Caution
1.When removing deposits from the valve, take care not to damage any part of the valve.
2.Replace the core assembly and the armature assembly when the end of its service.
Refer to Chapter 6, “Period and Scope of Warranty” (P. 10) for details regarding endurance
cycles.
3.If potential damages are suspected prior to the end of the service life, perform maintenance
earlier than noted.
4.SMC specified parts should be used for service. Refer to the Construction / Maintenance
parts table.
5.When removing the external seal, take care not to damage the sealing surfaces. When
installing the external seal, be sure that the O-ring is not twisted. (Refer to Chapter 7, “Parts
Replacement Procedure” (P. 11 to 12) for details.)

Precautions 2 Be sure to read before handling
Maintenance Parts
Caution
SMC specified parts should be used for maintenance service.
Maintenance can be done without removing a pipe. Remove the four hexagon socket head
cap screws on the top of the cover. When the sealant is replaced, be careful not to give a
flawon the sealing face such as a body.
When they are assembled again, the work can be done easily and accurately with the
armature assemblyabsorbed to the core assembly. Check the operation and leakage after
assembling.

4. Construction / Operation
Armature assembly includes (7), (8), and (9).
<Operation Description>
4-1 XLS-**-** (without control power supply)
Valve (9) opens when the coil assembly
is carrying starting voltage for approx.
0.15 to 0.2s.
The valve keeps opening with voltage by
25% of the starting voltage (see right).
Do not apply the starting voltage for
0.3s or more. It will cause coil burning.
When energizing to the coil assembly is
stopped, valve (9) closes.
Ex.) For DC24. DC6 V specification,
The time to apply starting voltage is same
for all voltage.
4-2 XLS-**-P*G (with control power supply)
Valve (9) opens when the coil assembly is applied the rated voltage.
Valve (9) closes when the coil assembly is stopped being energized.
As this product has pressure balanced construction, the exhausting direction is free.
