3. Before machinery/equipment is restarted, take measures to prevent unexpected operation and malfunction.
4. Contact SMC beforehand and take special consideration of safety measures if the product is to be used in any of the following conditions.
1. Conditions and environments outside of the given specifications, or use outdoors or in a place exposed to direct sunlight.
2. Installation on equipment in conjunction with atomic energy, railways, air navigation, space, shipping, vehicles, military, medical treatment, combustion and recreation, or equipment in contact with food and beverages, emergency stop circuits, clutch and brake circuits in press applications, safety equipment or other applications unsuitable for the standard specifications described in the product catalogue.
3. An application which could have negative effects on people, property, or animals requiring special safety analysis.
4. Use in an interlock circuit, which requires the provision of double interlock for possible failure by using a mechanical protective function, and periodical checks to confirm proper operation.

Caution
The product is provided for use in manufacturing industries.
The product herein described is basically provided for peaceful use in manufacturing industries. If considering using the product in other industries, consult SMC beforehand and exchange specifications or a contract if necessary. If anything is unclear, contact your nearest sales branch.
Limited warranty and Disclaimer/Compliance Requirements
The product used is subject to the following "Limited warranty and Disclaimer" and "Compliance Requirements". Read and accept them before using the product.
Limited warranty and Disclaimer
1. The warranty period of the product is 1 year in service or 1.5 years after the product is delivered, whichever is first.
2)
Also, the product may have specified durability, running distance or replacement parts. Please consult your nearest sales branch.
2. For any failure or damage reported within the warranty period which is clearly our responsibility, a replacement product or necessary parts will be provided. This limited warranty applies only to our product independently, and not to any other damage incurred due to the failure of the product.
3. Prior to using SMC products, please read and understand the warranty terms and disclaimers noted in the specified catalogue for the particular products.
2) Vacuum pads are excluded from this 1 year warranty.
A vacuum pad is a consumable part, so it is warranted for a year after it is delivered. Also, even within the warranty period, the wear of a product due to the use of the vacuum pad or failure due to the deterioration of rubber material are not covered by the limited warranty.
Compliance Requirements
1. The use of SMC products with production equipment for the manufacture of weapons of mass
destruction (WMD) or any other weapon is strictly prohibited.
2. The exports of SMC products or technology from one country to another are governed by the
relevant security laws and regulation of the countries involved in the transaction. Prior to the shipment of a SMC product to another country, assure that all local rules governing that export are known and followed.

Auto Switch Common Precautions
Design and Selection
Warning
(1) Check the specifications.
If the auto switch is used with an excessive load or used outside of the specifications, it may cause damage or malfunction. The product cannot be guaranteed if is used outside of the specification range.
(2) Caution for use in an interlock system.
When an auto switch is used in an interlock system which requires high reliability, provide a double interlock system, for example a mechanical protection system, for extra safety, or by also using another switch (sensor) together with the auto switch. Check the product regularly in order to confirm normal operation.
(3) Do not disassemble, modify (including changing the printed circuit board) or repair.
An injury or failure can result.
Caution
(1) Pay attention to the length of time the auto switch will operate at an intermediate stroke position.
When an auto switch is placed at an intermediate stroke position, and a load is driven during the time when the piston passes, the auto switch will operate, but if the piston speed is too great, the operating time will be shortened, and the load may not operate correctly. The maximum piston speed is:
Auto switch operating range [mm]
V [mm/s] =
Load operating time [ms]
×1000
(2) Take precautions when multiple actuators are used close together.
When using two or more actuators with auto switches in close proximity to each other, maintain a minimum separation distance of at least 40 mm. (If the separation distance is specified for the actuator series, then use that value). The auto switches may malfunction due to magnetic field interference. Use of a magnetic screen plate (MU-S025) or commercially available magnetic screening tape can reduce the interference of magnetic fields.
(3) Provide sufficient space for maintenance.
When designing an application, allow sufficient clearance for maintenance and inspection.
(4) Never mount the actuator with auto switch in a location that will be used as a footrest.
The product may be damaged if excessive force is applied by stepping or climbing onto it.
(5) Design the circuit to prevent reverse current during open circuit conditions or when the product is forced to
operate for functional checks.
Reverse current can cause product damage or malfunction.
(6) Precautions for mounting an auto switch
When n number of auto switches is specified for mounting, this indicates the maximum number of auto switches based on the physical dimensions of the actuator. The detection distance varies depending on the auto switch mounting structure and the auto switch body dimensions. For this reason, the switch may not always be mounted at the required detection distance or at the required position.
(7) Limitations of the detection position.
There will be mounting positions or surfaces where the auto switch cannot be mounted due to physical interference (e.g. rear side of the foot bracket), depending on the mounting conditions of the actuator. Select an auto switch after confirming that the switch mounting position does not interfere with the mounting bracket (e.g. trunnion, reinforcement ring).
