Warning
1. The compatibility of the product is the responsibility of the person who designs the equipment or
decides its specifications.
Since the product specified here is used under various operating conditions, its compatibility with specific equipment must be decided by the person who designs the equipment or decides its specifications based on necessary analysis and test results. The expected performance and safety assurance of the equipment will be the responsibility of the person who has determined its compatibility with the product. This person should also continuously review all specifications of the product referring to its latest catalog information, with a view to giving due consideration to any possibility of equipment failure when configuring the equipment.
2. Only personnel with appropriate training should operate machinery and equipment.
The product specified here may become unsafe if handled incorrectly. The assembly, operation and maintenance of machines or equipment including our products must be performed by an operator who is appropriately trained and experienced.
3. Do not service or attempt to remove product and machinery/equipment until safety is confirmed.
1.The inspection and maintenance of machinery/equipment should only be performed after measures to
prevent falling or runaway of the driven objects have been confirmed.
2.When the product is to be removed, confirm that the safety measures as mentioned above are implemented and the power from any appropriate source is cut, and read and understand the specific product precautions of all relevant products carefully.
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 catalog.
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.

Series ZFC
Specific product precautions (1)
Be sure to read before handling.
Refer to “Handling Precautions for SMC Products” (M-E03-3) for Safety Instructions.
Design
Warning
1. Confirm the specifications.
Products represented in this catalog are designed only for use in compressed air systems (including vacuum). Do not operate at pressures, temperatures, etc., beyond the range of specifications, as this can cause damage or malfunction. (Refer to the specifications.) Please contact SMC when using a fluid other than compressed air (including vacuum). We do not guarantee against any damage if the product is used outside of the specification range.
Modification prohibited
2.
Do not make any modifications, including additional machining. It may cause human injury and/or an accident and will void the warranty.
Caution
1. When vacuum adsorption and release are used
on the same line, the dust trapped by the vacuum adsorption scatters again during vacuum release. Therefore, both cacuum pressure and positive pressure cannot be used together on the same line.
Warning
1. Operation manual
Install the products and operate them only after reading the operation manual carefully and understanding its contents. Also, keep the manual where it can be referred to as necessary.
2. Maintenance space
Allow sufficient space for maintenance and inspection.
3. Observe the tightening torque for screws.
Tighten the screws to the recommended torque for mounting the product.
4. Connect tubing to the IN and OUT One-touch
fittings in accordance with the precautions for One-touch fittings.
Caution
1. Connect the piping after checking the arrow
indication showing the flow direction on the body. If the piping is connected the other way around, it is not possible to seal the element.
2. Allow a sufficient margin of the tube length when
piping in order to prevent twisting, tensile, moment loads, vibration, or impact being applied to the tubes and filter body.
Mounting
Air Supply
Warning
1. Type of fluids
Please consult with SMC when using the product in applications other than compressed air.
2. When there is a large amount of drainage
Compressed air containing a large amount of drainage can cause the malfunction of pneumatic equipment. An air dryer or water separator should be installed upstream from filters.
3. Drain flushing
If condensation in the drain bowl is not emptied on a regular basis, the bowl will overflow and allow the condensation to enter the compressed air lines. This causes the malfunction of pneumatic equipment. If the drain bowl is difficult to check and remove, the installation of a drain bowl with an auto drain option is
recommended. Refer to “SMC Air Preparation System” for further details on compressed air quality.
4. Use clean air.
Do not use compressed air that contains chemicals,
synthetic oils that include organic solvents, salt,
corrosive gases, etc., as they can cause damage or
malfunction.
Operating Environment
Warning
1. Do not use in an atmosphere where corrosive
gases, chemicals, sea water, water, or water
steam is present. Do not use in cases where there
is direct contact with any of the above.
2. Do not use in a place subject to heavy vibration
and/or impact.
3. Do not use in an environment where flammable
gas or explosive gas is present. Usage may cause
a fire or explosion. The products do not have an
explosion proof construction.
4. The valve should not be exposed to prolonged
sunlight. Use a protective cover if necessary.
5. Remove any sources of excessive heat.
6. In locations where there is contact with water, oil,
weld spatter, etc., take suitable protective
measures.
