！ WARNING Design precautions
(1)Applicablestandard
- This air tank conforms to laws and regulations in China.
When this tank is used in countries outside of China, confirm that it is compliant with the laws and regulations of those countries.
Astheairtankiscompliantwith"RegulationsonSafetySupervisionofSpecialEquipment",thefollowingproceduresare
requiredwhenusingtheproduct.(Referto"RegulationsonSafetySupervisionofSpecialEquipmentChapter3"fordetails.)
(1) To confirm that the pressure is set at the set value, submit the safety valve for air tank to the nearest Safety Inspection Bureau, and
store the safety valve together with the Check ticket.
(2) Before installing the air tank, inform the nearest Special Equipment Safety Supervision Department in writing.
(3) When installing the air tank, it should pass the inspection performed by the Inspection and Measurement Agency authorized by the
Special Equipment Safety Supervision Department based on the safety technical standard. [Documents supplied with the air tank, the
Check ticket of the safety valve and the certificate supplied with the pressure gauge are necessary.]
(4) Register the product and related documents with the Special Equipment Safety Supervision Department before using the device or
within 30 days after starting to use the device.
(2)Operatingpressure
- Use this air tank at maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa or less.
(3)Connection
- Install a filter or mist separator on the OUT side of the air tank.
Although phosphate coating film treatment is applied to the inner surface of the VBAT∗A1-∗-X104, rust may be generated if the product is
used for a long time.

！ CAUTION
- Consider the operating conditions, and use this air tank within the specification range.
- Do not supply or discharge air suddenly. This will cause the temperature to decrease due to air expansion, and the temperature may
exceed the operating temperature limit of the air tank. If flow speed becomes faster, a loud noise may be generated by the friction inside the
tube.
- When a booster regulator is used, select the appropriate product model according to the selection procedure of the energy saving program
or How to Order in the catalog.
△
！ CAUTION Installation precautions
(1)Accessories
- Accessories are supplied attached to the foot of the tank. Once removed, take care not to lose any of the parts.
(2)Installation
- Operate the air tank fixed.
- To mount the air tank on a floor surface, use the four holes of φ13 to secure the tank with bolts (order separately) or anchor bolts (supplied
with the product).
- Mount the air tank horizontally. If the tank is mounted vertically, the load will be concentrated on one foot, leading to breakage.
- If the air tank is used where there is vibration, it may lead to breakage of the foot and the body. Do not use it where there is vibration.
- A lot of energy builds up if high pressure is applied to the air tank. If the air tank breaks and air is discharged, a large blast of air will be
generated and is very dangerous. Install the air tank where operations or equipment will not be affected.
- When connecting a booster regulator with an air tank, refer to the procedure “Assembling the air tank and the booster regulator”.
(3)Piping
- Connect piping so that the piping load and vibration are not applied to the tank socket.
(4)Safetyvalve
- Pressure setting cannot be changed as it is fixed.
(5)Drainvalve
- The drain valve needs to be prepared by the user. SMC related product VBAT-V1 is available.
