Precautions for 5 Port Solenoid Valve 1
Warning
Be sure to read before handling.
Design / Selection
9. Regarding a vacuum switch valve and a vacuum
1. Confirm the specifications. release valve
If a non-vacuum valve is installed in the middle of piping system
Products represented in this manual are designed only for use in compressed air systems (including vacuum). having a vacuum, the vacuum condition will not be maintained.
Use a valve designed for use under vacuum conditions.
Do not operate at pressures or 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
10. Double solenoid type
When using the double solenoid type for the first time, actuators may travel in an unexpected direction depending on the switching position of the valve. Implement measures to prevent any danger from occurring when operating the actuator.
11. Ventilation outside of the specification range.
2. Actuator drive
When an actuator, such as a cylinder, is to be driven using a valve, take appropriate measures (cover installation or approach prohibition) to prevent potential danger caused by actuator operation.
3. Intermediate stops
For 3-position closed center type, it is difficult to make a piston stop at the required position accurately due to the compressibility of air.
Furthermore, since valves and cylinders are not guaranteed for zero air leakage, it may not be possible to hold a stopped position for an extended period of time.
Please contact SMC if it is necessary to hold a stopped position for an extended period of time.
4. Effects of back pressure when using a manifold
Use caution when valves are used on a manifold, because an actuator may malfunction due to back-pressure.
Especially when using a 3-position exhaust center valve or single acting cylinder, take appropriate measures to prevent malfunction by using it with an individual EXH spacer assembly or an individual exhaust manifold.
5. Holding pressure (including vacuum)
Since the valves are subject to air leakage, they cannot be used for applications such as holding pressure (including vacuum) in a pressure vessel.
6. Not suitable for use as an emergency shutoff valve, etc.
The valves listed in this manual are not designed for safety applications such as an emergency shutoff valve. If the valves are used for the mentioned applications, additional safety measures should be adopted.
7. Release of residual pressure
For maintenance and inspection purposes install a system for releasing residual pressure. Especially in the case of 3-position closed center valve type, ensure that the residual pressure between the valve and the cylinder is released.
8. Operation in a vacuum condition
When a valve is used for switching a vacuum, take measures to install a suction filter or similar to prevent external dust or other foreign matter from entering inside the valve.
In addition, at the time of vacuum adsorption, be sure to vacuum at all times. Failure to do so may result in foreign matter sticking to the adsorption pad, or air leakage causing the workpiece to drop.
Provide ventilation when using a valve in a confined area, such as in a closed control panel. For example, install a ventilation opening, etc. in order to prevent pressure from increasing inside of the confined area and to release the heat generated by the valve.
12. Extended periods of continuous energization
- If a valve will be continuously energized for an extended period of time, the temperature of the valve will increase due to the heat generated by the coil assembly. This will likely adversely affect the performance of the valve and any nearby peripheral equipment. It is possible to shorten the energized time by making a valve with an N.O. (normally open) specification.
- For applications such as mounting a valve on a control panel, incorporate measure to limit the heat radiation so that the temperature will be high when a 3 station manifold.
13. Do not disassemble the product or make any modifications, including additional machining.
Doing so may cause human injury and/or an accident.
Caution
1. Precautions for 2-position double solenoid valves
If a double solenoid valve is operated with momentary energization, it should be energized for at least 0.1 seconds.
However, depending on the piping conditions, the cylinder may malfunction even when the double solenoid valve is energized for 0.1 seconds or longer. In this case, energize the double solenoid valve until the cylinder is exhausted completely.
2. Leakage voltage
Take note that the leakage voltage will increase when a resistor is used in parallel with switching element or when a C-R circuit
(surge voltage suppressor) is used for protecting a switching device because of the passing leakage voltage through the C-R circuit. The suppressor residual leakage voltage should be 3% or less of the rated voltage.

Precautions for 5 Port Solenoid Valve 2
(see Figure 2).
Be sure to read before handling.
Design / Selection
Caution
3. Surge voltage suppressor
1) The surge voltage suppressor built into the valve is intended to protect the output contacts so that the surge generated inside valve does not adversely affect the output contacts. Therefore, if an overvoltage or overcurrent is received from an external peripheral device, the surge voltage protection element inside the valve is overloaded, causing the element to break. In the worst case, the breakage causes the electric circuit to enter short-circuit tatus. If energizing continues while in this state, a large current flows. This may cause secondary damage to the output circuit, external peripheral device, or valve, and may also cause a fire. So, take appropriate protective measures, such as the installation of an overcurrent protection circuit in the power supply or a drive circuit to maintain a sufficient level of safety.
2) If a surge protection circuit contains nonstandard diodes, such as Zener diodes or varistor, a residual voltage that is in proportion to the protective circuit and the rated voltage will remain. Therefore, take into consideration the surge voltage protection of the controller. In the case of diodes, the residual voltage is approximately 1V.
4. Surge voltage intrusion
With non-polar type solenoid valves, at times of sudden interruption of the loading power supply, such as emergency shutdown, surge voltage intrusion may be generated from loading equipment with a large capacity (power consumption), and a solenoid valve in a de-energized state may switch over (see
Figure 1).
When installing a breaker circuit for the loading power supply, consider using a solenoid valve with polarity (with polarity protection diode), or install a surge absorption diode between the loading equipment COM line and the output equipment COM line
5. Operation in a low temperature condition
It is possible to operate a valve in extreme temperature, as low as -10 o
C . Take appropriate measures to avoid freezing of drainage, moisture etc. in low temperature.
6. Operation for air blowing
When using a solenoid valve for air blowing, use an external pilot type.
Use caution because the pressure drop caused by the air blowing can have an affect on the internal pilot type valve when internal pilot type valves and external pilot type valves are used on the same manifold.
Additionally, when compressed air within the pressure range of the established specifications is supplied to the external pilot type valve’s port, and a double solenoid valve is used for air blowing, the solenoids should normally be energized when air is being blown.
7. Mounting orientation
Mounting orientation is free.
8.
Initial lubrication of main valve
The following initial lubricant has already been applied to the main valve.
• Rubber seal, spool valve: Grease
Please consult with SMC, as there are some standard valve products that use fluorine grease for food processing equipment
(NSF H-1).
9. For the pilot EXH (PE) port
If the solenoid valve and the manifold’s pilot EXH (PE) port is restricted extremely or blocked, abnormal operation of the solenoid valve may occur.

Piping
Warning
1. The solenoid valve is an electrical product. For safety, install an appropriate fuse and circuit breaker before use.
Caution
Caution
1. Refer to the Fittings and Tubing Precautions for handling One-touch fittings.
2. Preparation before piping
Before piping is connected, it should be thoroughly blown out with air (flushing) or washed to remove chips, cutting oil and other debris from inside the pipe.
3. Winding of sealant tape
When screwing piping or fittings into ports, ensure that chips from the pipe threads or sealing material do not enter the piping.
Also, If sealant tape is used,
1. Polarity
When connecting power to a solenoid valve with a DC specification and equipped with a light or surge voltage suppressor, check for polarity.
If there is polarity, take note of the following.
Without diode to protect polarity:
If a mistake is made regarding the polarity, damage may occur to the diode in the valve, the switching element in the control device, power supply equipment, etc.
With diode to protect polarity:
If the polarity connection is wrong, the valve will not operate.
2. Applied voltage
When electric power is connected to a solenoid valve, be careful to apply the proper voltage. Improper voltage may cause malfunction or coil damage.
3. Check the connections.
Check if the connections are correct after completing all wiring.
4. External force applied to the lead wire leave 1 thread ridge exposed at the end of the threads.
4. Cl osed center types
For closed center type, check the piping to prevent air leakage from the piping between the valve and the cylinder.
If an excessive force is applied to the lead wire, this may cause faulty wiring. Take appropriate measures so that a force of 30 N or more is not applied to the lead wire. When instructions are given in the Specific Product Precautions, follow these
5. Connection of piping and fittings

Warning
Precautions for 5 Port Solenoid Valve 4
Be sure to read before handling.
Lubrication
3. Take measures to ensure air quality, such as by
1. Lubrication
1) The valve has been lubricated for life by the factory and does not require any further.
2) If a lubricant is used in the system, use class 1 turbine oil (no additive), ISO VG32.
Once a lubricant is used in the system, lubrication must be continued because the original lubricant applied during manufacturing will be washed away.
If turbine oil is used, refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) of the oil.
3) Please contact SMC regarding class 2 turbine oil (with additives), ISO VG32.
2. Lubrication amount
If the lubrication amount is excessive, the oil may accumulate installing an aftercooler, air dryer, or water separator.
Compressed air that contains a large amount of drainage can cause malfunction of pneumatic equipment such as valves.
Therefore, take appropriate measures to ensure air quality, such as by providing an aftercooler, air dryer, or water separator.
4. If an excessive amount of carbon powder is present, install a mist separator on the upstream side of the valve.
If excessive carbon dust is generated by the compressor, it may adhere to the inside of a valve and cause it to malfunction.
For compressed air quality, refer to SMC’s Best Pneumatics catalog. inside the pilot valve, causing malfunction or response delay. So, do not apply a large amount of oil. When a large amount of oil needs to be applied, use an external pilot type to put the supply air on the pilot valve side in the non-lube state. This prevents the accumulation of oil inside the pilot valve.
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 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. It causes malfunction of pneumatic equipment.
If the drain bowl is difficult to check and remove, installation of a drain bowl with an auto drain option is recommended.
For compressed air quality, refer to SMC’s Best Pneumatics catalog.
4. Use clean air.
Do not use compressed air that contains chemicals, synthetic oils including organic solvents, salt or corrosive gases, etc., as it can cause damage or malfunction.
Caution
1. When extremely dry air is used as the fluid, degradation of the lubrication properties in side the equipment may occur, resulting in reduced reliability
(or reduced service life) of the equipment. Please consult with SMC.
2. Install an air filter.
Install an air filter upstream near the valve. Select an air filter with a filtration size of 5
㎛
or smaller.
Operating Environment
Warning
1. Do not use in an atmosphere containing corrosive gases, chemicals, sea water, water, water steam, or where there is direct contact with any of these.
2. Do not use in an environment where flammable gas or explosive gas exists. Usage may cause a fire or explosion. The products do not have an explosion proof construction.
3. Do not use in a place subject to heavy vibration and/or shock.
4. The valve should not be exposed to prolonged sunlight. Use a protective cover.
Note that the valve is not for outdoor use.
5. Remove any sources of excessive heat.
6. If it is used in an environment where there is possible contact with oil, weld spatter, etc., exercise preventive measures.
7. When the solenoid valve is mounted in a control panel or it’s energized for a long period of time, make sure the ambient temperature is within the specifications of the valve.
Caution
1. Temperature of ambient environment
Use the valve within the range of the ambient temperature specification of each valve. In addition, pay attention when using the valve in environments where the temperature changes drastically.
2. Humidity of ambient environment
• When using the valve in environments with low humidity, take measures to prevent static.
• If the humidity rises, take measures to prevent the adhesion of water droplets on the valve.

Be sure to read before handling.
Maintenance
Warning
1. Perform maintenance and inspection according to the procedures indicated in the operation manual.
If handled improperly, human injury and/or malfunction or damage of machinery and equipment may occur.
2. Removal of equipment, and supply/exhaust of compressed air
Before components are removed, first confirm that measures are in place to prevent workpieces from dropping, run-away equipment, etc. Then, cut off the supply air and electric power, and exhaust all air pressure from the system using the residual pressure release function.
For the 3-position closed center type, exhaust the residual pressure between the valve and the cylinder.
When the equipment is operated after remounting or replacement, first confirm that measures are in place to prevent the lurching of actuators, etc. Then, confirm that the equipment is operating normally.
In particular, when a 2-position double solenoid valve is used, releasing residual pressure rapidly may cause the spool valve to malfunction, depending on the piping conditions, or the connected actuator to operate.
3. Low frequency operation
Valves should be operated at least once every 30 days to prevent malfunction. (Use caution regarding the air supply.)
4. Manual override
When the manual override is operated, connected equipment will be actuated.
Operate after safety is confirmed.
5.
If the volume of air leakage increases or the valve does not operate normally, do not use the valve.
Perform periodic maintenance on the valve to confirm the operating condition and check for any air leakage.
Caution
1. Drain flushing
Remove drainage from the air filters regularly.
2. Lubrication
In the case of rubber seals, once lubrication has been started, it must be continued.
Use class 1 turbine oil (with no additives), VG32. If other lubricant oil is used, it may cause a malfunction. Please contact
SMC for information on the suggested class 2 turbine oil (with additives), VG32.
3. Manual override operation
When switching a double solenoid valve via the manual override operation, instantaneous operation may cause the malfunction of the cylinder. It is recommended that the manual override be held until the cylinder reaches the stroke end position.

Specific Product Precautions 3
Caution
Be sure to read before handling.
One-touch Fittings
The pitch of the SX series piping ports (PE, A, B etc.) has been set assuming the use of KJ series one-touch fittings. Therefore, when using fittings, there may be some interference between fittings, depending on the type and size, so please use after checking dimensions in the catalog for the pipe fitting being used.
1. Tube attachment/detachment for one-touch fittings
1) Attaching of tubing
(1) Take a tube having no flaws on its periphery and cut it off at a right angle. When cutting the tube, use tube cutters
TK-1, 2 or 3. Do not use pinchers, nippers or scissors, etc.
If cutting is done with tools other than tube cutters, there is the danger that the tube may be cut diagonally or become flattened, etc., making a secure installation impossible and flatness cannot be surely installed and it causes the tube omission and the air leakage after it closes it.
(2) Grasp the tube and push it in slowly, inserting it securely all the way into the fitting.
(3) After inserting the tube, pull on it lightly to confirm that it will not come out. If it is not installed securely all the way into the fitting, this can cause problems such as air leakage or the tube pulling out.
2) Detaching of tubing
(1) Push in the release button sufficiently, and push the collar evenly at the same time.
(2) Pull out the tube while holding down the release button so that it does not come out. If the release button is not pressed down sufficiently, there will be increased bite on the tube and it will become more difficult to pull it out.
(3) When the removed tube is to be used again, cut off the portion which has been chewed before reusing it. If the chewed portion of the tube is used as is, this can cause trouble such as air leakage or difficulty in removing the tube.
Connect so that polarity is matched to the connector’s (+), (-) and
A, B and COM indicators, In the case of voltage specifications other than 12 or 24 VDC, take care to avoid mistaking polarity, as there is no diode to prevent reverse current.

Remedy
No.
Remedy
① Regulate voltage, so that the voltage at the time of the operation becomes specifications range.
② Re-wire correctly.
③ Replace part.
④ Replace part or re-wire positively.
⑤ Replace valve.
⑥ Regulate pressure so that pilot pressure will fall within operating pressure range furing operation.
・ If wrong oil is used, completely air blow to remove oil, and replace valve. After valve is replaced, use turbine oil class 1 (ISO VG32).
⑦
・ When a large quantity of drain is given and cannot carry out drain omission surely, install either an auto-drain or a dryer.The valve should be replaced.

⑪
In case of intrusion of foreign matter, to remove foreign matter by air blow of piping and then replace valve.
Repair or replace actuators.
After stopping air and re-tighten the bolts.
⑬ Reduce the amount of lubricant to the degree that no oil splashes out of the air exhaust (E) port.
If no improvement is achieved in spite of the above countermeasure, inside of the valve may have some abnomality. In this case, stop using the valve immediately.
If any of followings are carried out, inside of the valve may have some failure. In this case, stop using the valve immediately.
① Voltage out of rated voltage has been used.
② Oil other than the specified one has been lubricated.
③ Lubrication has been stopped intermediately, or lubrication was suspended temporary.
④ Water splashed directely.
⑤ Strong impact was given.
⑥ Alien substance such as drain and particle got into. Drain or garbage invaded a valve.
⑦ Prohibited way of using the valve which is written at "Precautions" section in this operation manual
was carried out excluding above-mentioned.
