ir-piloted Vlves Fetures Since the unit requires ir piping only, with no need for electricl wiring, it cn e hndled y person without fer of electricl shocks or current lekge. Using no electricity mens tht expensive equipment to protect ginst explosions, specil precutions, or mesures ginst electric noise re not to e required. Unlike electricl equipment, the construction is simple. The ssocited limit vlve is lso durle nd cn e used for long periods. ecuse hrmless compressed ir is used, there is no need for mjor construction work on the min or pilot ir line unlike tht of hydrulic piping, nd piping work is simple enough for nyone trined to perform. The power source is lwys compressed ir, so tht the system cn e esily used where no power supply exists. In ddition, it retins memory for out severl dozen minutes, nd cn therefore continue opertions even during power outges.

The construction is extremely simple. poppet-type prevents glling or other prolems, even if smll foreign ojects hve entered inside. nd no sticking occurs even if the unit is left unused for long periods of time. It cn e used without luriction. With virtully no sliding prts, there is no need for luriction other thn for few specific models. This mens no rekdown due to insufficient luriction.

Sfety recutions (ir-piloted vlves) Wrning Cution Others 1. ll types other thn the 2 (doule pilot) type re designed to use ir s the medi. For other medi, consult us. 2. lwys check the Ctlog, etc., when performing piping to products to ensure tht the connections re correctly done. Wrong piping could result in norml opertion of the ctutor, etc. For loctions suject to wter or to lrge mounts of dust, use cover, etc., to protect the vlve. In ddition, instll muffler, etc., to the port to prevent entering of dust. Intrusion of wter or dust could result in short-term functionl rekdowns, or in sudden drops in performnce or reduced operting life. 1. Use min ir pressure higher thn the minimum operting pressure listed in the Ctlog. 2. Set the pilot pressure to level suitle to the min pressure. n unnecessrily high pressure cn shorten the operting life. 3. If excessively throttling the port for opertion, set the pilot pressure t the min pressure or higher ( type). For detils, see the specifictions of ech series. 4. The type (internl pilot holding type) cnnot e used s 2-port vlve. For lrge ir flow rte, provide sufficient ir supply. In ddition, the port cnnot e used in choked condition. Instll speed controllers etween the vlve nd cylinder. 5. s with the norml type, use pilot vlve size tht offers enough mrgin when the type is operted s single pilot vlve.
