Safety Instructions

These safety instructions are intended to prevent a hazardous situa-

tion and/or equipment damage.These instructions indicate the level

of potential hazard by label of “Caution”, “Warning” or “Danger”.

To ensure safety, be sure to observe ISO4414 (Note1), JIS B 8370 (Note2)

and other safety practices.

Note 1: ISO 4414: Pneumatic fluid power – Recommendations for the

application of equipment to transmission and control systems.

Note 2: JIS B 8370: Pneumatic system axiom.

CAUTION : Operator error could result in injury or

equipment damage.

WARNING: Operator error could result in serious

injury or loss of life.

DANGER : In extreme conditions, there is a

possible result of serious injury or loss of life.

WARNING

1. The compatibility of pneumatic equipment is the respon-

sibility of the person who designs the pneumatic system

or decides its specifications.

Since the products specified here are used in various operating

conditions, their compatibility for the specific pneumatic system

must be based on specifications or after analysis and/or tests to

meet your specific requirements.

2. Only trained personnel should operate pneumatically

operated machinery and equipment.

Compressed air can be dangerous if an operator is unfamiliar

with it. Assembly, handling or repair of pneumatic systems should

be performed by trained and experienced operators.

3. Do not service machinery/equipment or attempt to

remove component until safety is confirmed.

1) Inspection and maintenance of machinery/equipment should

only be performed after confirmation of safe locked-out

control positions.

2) When equipment is to be removed, confirm the safety process

as mentioned above.Switch off air and electrical supplies and

exhaust all residual compressed air in the system.

3) Before machinery/equipment is re-started, ensure all safety

measures to prevent sudden movement of cylinders etc.

(Bleed air into the system gradually to create back-pressure,

i.e. incorporate a soft-start valve).

4. Contact SMC if the product is to be used in any of the

following conditions:

1) Conditions and environments beyond the given specifica-

tions, or if product is used outdoors.

2) Installations in conjunction with atomic energy, railway, air

navigation, vehicles, medical equipment, food and beverage,

recreation equipment, emergency stop circuits, press

applications, or safety equipment.

3) An application which has the possibility of having negative

effects on people, property, or animals, requiring special

safety analysis.

CAUTION

Ensure that the air supply system is filtered to 5 micron.

Tube Connection (Fig 3)

Ensure that the tube 5is cut square.

Push tube 5into the fitting 7until it stops.

Pull back on tube 5to ensure it is gripped by retainer 4.

Tube disconnection (Fig 3)

Push down on the collet 1.

Holding down the collet 1, withdraw the tube from the fitting 5.

CAUTION

Connecting plug connector (Fig 4)

Ensure the connector is pushed onto the pins in a straight line.

Ensure that the lip of the lever is securely positioned in the groove in

the solenoid cover.

Disconnecting plug connector (Fig 4)

1. Press the lever against the connector and pull the connector away

from the solenoid in a straight line.

Surge voltage protection circuit (Fig 5)

Ensure the lead wires are correctly connected to the + (Plus) and

Minus (-) indications on the connector.

Incorrect connection may result in the diode or switching element

becoming damaged.

Those solenoids with pre-wired leads are + side Red wire, and - side

Black wire.

Solenoid manual override operation (Fig 7)

CAUTION

Ensure all SAFETY precautions are in position before operating

manual overrides as connected equipment will commence operation.

VJ300,VJ3000 have manual overrides in two positions, i.e. on the pilot

operator and on the valve body.

Push and turn. Can be used as non-locking type if the operator is

just pushed without turning

Push non lock type (Fig 7) valve body

1. Push down on the orange button using a small screwdriver until

it stops.

2. Hold this position until all checks have been completed.

Release the orange button and the override will reset to the OFF position.

Push lock manual override (Fig 7)

Locking

Push down on the orange button using a small screwdriver until it stops.

2. Turn the button through 90° clockwise.

3. Remove the screwdriver.

WARNING

In this position the manual override is in the locked ON position.

Unlocking

1. Using a small screwdriver turn the manual override 90°

anti-clockwise.

2. Remove the screwdriver and the manual override will reset to the

OFF position.

Leakage voltage (Fig 8)

Note: When using a resistor in parallel with a contact, the leakage

voltage may increase due to the leakage current flowing through the

resister.

* Leakage voltage must be no more than 3% of the rated voltage.
