Key dimensions and mounting positions are provided for each model, along with specific product precautions and installation guidelines.

Procedures: Instructions are given for using the DIN terminal connector, including steps for connection and changing the entry direction. The document emphasizes the importance of using compatible cables and adhering to specified torque ranges to maintain IP65 standards.

Standards and Compliance: The valves comply with safety standard ISO 13849-1. The document specifies the use of OMRON and Rockwell Automation M12 connector cables, highlighting the importance of using straight type connectors for fixed cable entry direction.

Recommendations: For installation, the document recommends using external pilot types under certain conditions and provides guidelines for piping sizes to ensure proper valve operation. It also advises on the use of check valves to maintain consistent pressure.

Key Data from Tables: Tables provide detailed flow-rate characteristics and electrical specifications for the solenoid valves, including rated voltage, power consumption, and allowable voltage fluctuation. The document also lists part numbers and cable lengths for various components.

Critical Information: Emphasizes the need for proper installation and handling to prevent operational issues. Specific torque values for screws and nuts are provided to ensure secure connections. The document also highlights the importance of using the correct pilot type and maintaining appropriate pressure levels.

Installation and Wiring Instructions: Ensure correct wiring by following the terminal number symbols and electric circuit diagram. Secure the cord with the gland nut and adjust the entry direction by rotating the housing 180° if needed. Use compatible cables and terminals as specified.

Precautions: Handle connectors vertically to avoid damage. Use cables with specified outer diameters and crimped terminals equivalent to JIS standards. Follow specified torque ranges for tightening screws and nuts.

Safety Instructions: Adhere to safety labels: 'Caution' for low risk, 'Warning' for medium risk, and 'Danger' for high risk hazards. Follow international standards like ISO 4414, ISO 4413, IEC 60204-1, and ISO 10218-1.

Product Use and Warranty: The product is intended for manufacturing industries and not for legal metrology. The warranty is 1 year in service or 1.5 years after delivery. Failures within the warranty period due to manufacturing defects will be addressed with replacements.

Compliance Requirements: SMC products must not be used for manufacturing weapons of mass destruction. Export of products must comply with relevant security laws.

Operational Warnings: Ensure product compatibility with equipment specifications. Only trained personnel should operate machinery. Confirm safety before servicing equipment. Special safety measures are required for certain conditions and environments.
