Safety Instructions

These safety instructions are intended to prevent a hazardous situa­tion 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 respon­sibility 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.

Installation

CAUTION

Ensure all air and power supplies are isolated before commencing
installation.

WARNING

DO NOT INSTALL THESE VALVES IN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES.
If these valves are exposed to water or oil droplets, ensure that the
valves are protected.
If it is intended to energise a valve for an extended period please
consult SMC.

Tube connections-push-in fittings (Fig 2)

Ensure that the end of the tube 6 is cut square.
Push the tube 6 firmly into the fitting 7 until it stops.
Pull back on the tube 6 to ensure it is correctly gripped.

Tube disconnection (Fig 2)

Push down on the collet flange 2, via the release button 4, hold
down, and withdraw the tube 6.

Connection of plug connector (Fig 3)

Push the connector, in a straight line,onto the pins of the solenoid,
ensuring that the lip of the lever is securely positioned in the groove
of the solenoid cover.

Disconnection of plug connector (Fig 3)

Press the lever against the connector and pull the connector away
from the solenoid.

CAUTION

Do not exert excessive force on the wires, as this may cause contact
failure.

Wiring specifications (Fig 4)

The lead wires are connected to the valve as shown below.Connect
each to the power supply side.

Solenoid manual override (Fig 5)

WARNING

Exercise extreme CAUTION when operating solenoid manual
overrides, as connected equipment will commence operation.

Push non-locking type

Push down on the manual button 1 (Fig 5) until it stops (ON).
Hold this position whilst carrying out function checks.
Release the manual override button and the override will re-set to the
OFF position.

Locking type manual override (Fig 5)

Turn the manual override clockwise through 180°,using a small slot­ted screwdriver,until the mark P lines up with the No. 1.
Push down on the button until the override locks (ON) position.

WARNING

In this position the manual override is mechanically locked ON.

Un-locking (Fig 5)

Turn the manual override anti-clockwise through 180°,using a small
slotted screwdriver until the mark Plines up with the No.0.
Remove the screwdriver and the manual override will re-set to the
(OFF) position.

Latching Type (Fig 5)
Locking (Fig 5)

Turn the manual override clockwise 180°using a small slotted screw­driver until the mark P lines up with the letter A.
Push the override button down until it locks in position (ON).

WARNING

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

Un-locking

Turn the manual override anti-clockwise through 180° until the mark
P lines up with the letter B.
Remove the screwdriver, and the Manual override will re-set to the
OFF position.

Indicator light and surge suppressor (Fig 6a)

In the latching type, A (set) side and B (re-set) side energisation are
indicated by two colours,which match the colours of the manual over­ride buttons. See below (Fig 6a)

Blanking plate (Fig 12) (VVQ100-10A-1)

This type of blanking plate is fitted to multi-connector manifolds.
Ensure that the gasket 1 is correctly fitted.
Fit the blanking plate 2 onto the manifold station.
Fit and tighten the holding down screws 3 to the same torque
figures as the valve holding down screws (see above).

This type of blanking plug is fitted to standard multi-connector
manifolds (plug lead).

Fitting as above.

Wiring specification (Fig 6b)

WARNING

Latching solenoid

The latching solenoid is equipped with a self-holding mechanism,
which permits a moveable iron core 4 (Fig 1),in the solenoid, to hold
the 'set' position.

CAUTION

Do not employ simultaneous ON and OFF signals, as a 10ms energi­sation time is required for self-latching.
Avoid using these valves in applications involving excessive vibration
(10G or more).
Do not use in high magnetic fields.
At despatch the valve is set in the 'un-latched' mode. However it is
possible that it could move to the 'latch' position during transit.Before
operating this valve ensure that it is set to the 'un-latch' position.
See chart below (Fig 7).
