Electro-Pneumatic Regulator Precautions
Be sure to read before handling.
1.
Screw piping together with the recommended
proper torque while holding the side that has
female threads.
Looseness or faulty sealing will occur if tightening torque is
insufficient, while thread damage will result if the torque is
excessive. Furthermore, if the side with the female threads is
not held while tightening, excessive force will be applied
directly to piping brackets, etc. causing damage or other
problems.
2. Do not allow twisting or bending moment to
be applied other than the weight of the
equipment itself.
Provide separate support for external piping, as damage may
otherwise occur.
3.
Since excessive moment loads and the
propagation of vibrations, etc. can easily
result from inflexible piping made of materials
such as steel, avoid these problems by using
flexible tubing for intermediate connections.
Piping Piping
Warning
1. Preparation before piping
Before piping is connected, it should be thoroughly blown out
with air (flushing) or washed to remove chips, cutting oil and
other debris from inside the pipe.
Caution
Wrapping
direction
Pipe tape
Expose approx. 2 threads
1. Do not operate in locations having an
atmosphere of corrosive gases, chemicals,
sea water, or where there will be contact with
the same.
2. Do not operate in locations where vibration
or impact occurs.
3. In locations which receive direct sunlight,
provide a protective cover, etc.
4. In locations near heat sources, block off any
radiated heat.
5. In locations where there is contact with
spatter from water, oil or solder, etc.,
implement suitable protective measures.
Warning
2. Wrapping of pipe tape
When screwing together pipes and fittings, etc., be certain that
chips from the pipe threads and sealing material do not get
inside the piping.
Also, when pipe tape is used, leave 1.5 to 2 thread ridges
exposed at the end of the threads.
Operating EnvironmentOperating Environment
In locations where the body is exposed to
water, steam, dust, etc., there is a possibility
that moisture or dust could enter the body
through the EXH (solenoid) ports, thereby
causing problems. To overcome this, simply
install tubing to each port, using the fittings,
and extend the tubing so that the other end is
at a location where no water splash, etc.
occurs. Make sure not to bend, or block the
I.D. of the tubing as this will have a detrimental
affect on the pressure control.
Caution
1. These products are designed for use with
compressed air. Contact SMC if any other
fluid will be used.
2. Do not use compressed air which includes
chemicals, synthetic oils containing organic
solvents, salt, or corrosive gases, etc., as
this can cause damage or malfunction.
