If the valves are used in this type of system, other reliable safety assurance measures should also be adopted.. xtended periods of continuous energization The solenoid coil will generate heat when continuously energized. void using in a tightly shut container. Install it in a well-ventilated area. Furthermore, do not touch it while it is being energized or right after it is energized. 3. Liquid rings In cases with a flowing liquid, provide a bypass valve in the system to prevent the liquid from entering the liquid seal circuit. 4. ctuator drive When an actuator, such as a cylinder, is to be driven using a valve, take appropriate measures to prevent potential danger caused by actuator operation. 5. Pressure (including vacuum) holding It is not usable for an application such as holding the pressure (including vacuum) inside of a pressure vessel because air leakage is entailed in a valve. 6. When an impact, such as water hammer, etc., caused by the rapid pressure fluctuation is applied, the solenoid valve may be damaged. Give an attention to it. Selection Warning. Fluid ) Type of fluid efore using a fluid, check whether it is compatible with the materials of each model by referring to the fluids listed in this catalog. Use a fluid with a kinematic viscosity of 50 mm /s or less. If there is something you do not know, please contact SM. ) Flammable oil, Gas onfirm the specification for leakage in the interior and/or exterior area. 3) orrosive gas annot be used since it will lead to cracks by stress corrosion or result in other incidents. 4) epending on water quality, a brass body can cause corrosion and internal leakage may occur. If such abnormalities occur, exchange the product for a stainless steel body. 5) Use an oil-free specification when any oily particle must not enter the passage. 6) pplicable fluid on the list may not be used depending on the operating condition. Give adequate confirmation, and then determine a model, just because the compatibility list shows the general case. Warning Selection. Fluid quality <ir> ) Use clean air. o not use compressed air that contains chemicals, synthetic oils including organic solvents, salt or corrosive gases, etc., as it can cause damage or malfunction. ) Install an air filter. Install air filters close to the valves on the upstream side. filtration degree of 5 µm or less should be selected. 3) Install an aftercooler or air dryer, etc. ompressed air that contains excessive drainage may cause malfunction of valves and other pneumatic equipment. To prevent this, install an aftercooler or air dryer, etc. 4) If excessive carbon powder is generated, eliminate it by installing mist separators at the upstream side of valves. If excessive carbon powder is generated by the compressor, it may adhere to the inside of the valves and cause a malfunction. Refer to est Pneumatics No.7 for further details on compressed air quality. <Vacuum> Please be aware that there is a range of pressure that can be used. tmospheric pressure Low ir pressure vacuum Medium vacuum vacuum High Ultra high vacuum Hydraulic pressure <Suction filtration, Vacuum bottle set, Suction cup> ifferential pressure Torr (mmhg) Pa 0 0 0 9 0 8 0 7 0 6 0 5 0 4 0 3 0 0 rying ischarge/plasma <ccelerator, lectron microscope> 0-0 - 0-3 0-4 0-5 0-6 0-7 0-8 0-9 0-0 0-0 - Vapor deposition harged particle beam Neon tube/fluorescent light Surface physics xtreme high vacuum 0-0 - 0-3 0-4 0-5 0-6 0-7 0-8 0-9 0-0 0-0 - Vacuum piping direction: if the system uses a vacuum pump, we ask that you install the vacuum pump on the secondary side (Port ). lso, install a filter on the primary side (Port ), and be careful that no foreign object is picked up.

Series Specific Product Precautions e sure to read this before handling the products. Refer to back page 50 for Safety Instructions and pages 7 to 9 for Port Solenoid Valve for Fluid ontrol Precautions. Selection Warning <Water> The use of a fluid that contains foreign objects can cause problems such as malfunction and seal failure by promoting wear of the valve seat and armature and by sticking to the sliding parts of the armature etc. Install a suitable filter (strainer) immediately upstream from the valve. s a general rule, use 00 mesh. The supply water includes materials that create a hard sediment or sludge such as calcium and magnesium. Since this scale and sludge can cause the valve to malfunction, install water softening equipment, and a filter (strainer) directly upstream from the valve to remove these substances. Tap water pressure: The water pressure for tap water is normally 0.4 MPa or less. However, in places like a high-rise building, the pressure may be.0 MPa. When selecting tap water, be careful of the maximum operating pressure differential. When using water or heated water, poor operation or leaks may be caused by dezincification, erosion, corrosion, etc. The brass (rass) body of this product uses dezincification resistant material as a standard. We also offer a stainless steel body type with improved corrosion resistance. Please use the one that fits your needs. 3. mbient environment Use within the operable ambient temperature range. heck the compatibility between the product s composition materials and the ambient atmosphere. e certain that the fluid used does not touch the external surface of the product. 4. ountermeasures against static electricity Take measures to prevent static electricity since some fluids can cause static electricity. 5. Low temperature operation ) The valve can be used in an ambient temperature of between 0 to 0. However, take measures to prevent freezing or solidification of impurities, etc. ) When using valves for water application in cold climates, take appropriate countermeasures to prevent the water from freezing in tubing after cutting the water supply from the pump, by draining the water etc. When warming by a heater etc., be careful not to expose the coil portion to a heater. Installation of a dryer, heat retaining of the body is recommended to prevent a freezing condition in which the dew point temperature is high and the ambient temperature is low, and the high flow runs. Selection aution. Leakage voltage When the solenoid valve is operated using the controller, etc., the leakage voltage should be the product allowable leakage voltage or less. Particularly when using a resistor in parallel with a switching element and using a -R element (surge voltage suppressor) to protect the switching element, take note that leakage current will flow through the resistor, -R element, etc., creating a possible danger that the valve may not turn off. Power supply Switching element OFF R Leakage current Mounting Leakage voltage SOL. /lass built-in full wave rectifier coil: 5% or less of rated voltage coil: % or less of rated voltage. Selecting model Material depends on fluid. Select optimal models for the fluid. Warning. If air leakage increases or equipment does not operate properly, stop operation. fter mounting is completed, confirm that it has been done correctly by performing a suitable function test.. o not apply external force to the coil section. When tightening is performed, apply a wrench or other tool to the outside of the piping connection parts. 3. Mount a valve with its coil position upwards, not downwards. When mounting a valve with its coil positioned downwards, foreign objects in the fluid will adhere to the iron core leading to a malfunction. specially for strict leakage control, such as with vacuum applications and non-leak specifications, the coil must be positioned upwards. 4. o not warm the coil assembly with a heat insulator, etc. Use tape, heaters, etc., for freeze prevention on the piping and body only. They can cause the coil to burn out. 5. Secure with brackets, except in the case of steel piping and copper fittings. 6. void sources of vibration, or adjust the arm from the body to the minimum length so that resonance will not occur. 7. Painting and coating Warnings or specifications printed or labeled on the product should not be erased, removed or covered up. 468
