Operating Environment 

 

- Do not use in an environment where corrosive gases, chemicals, sea water, water or steam are 

present. These can cause failure or malfunction.   

- Do not use the product in a place where the product could be splashed by oil or chemicals.   

If the product is to be used in an environment containing oils or chemicals such as coolant or   

cleaning solvent, even for a short time, it may be adversely affected (damage, malfunction, or   

hardening of the lead wires).   

- Keep the ambient temperature of the product between 5 and 50°C. In environments such as

 

 

inside a panel where heat radiation efficiency is poor, the ambient temperature will rise due to 

the  heat  generation  of  the  coil  of  the  solenoid  valve,  causing  malfunction.  At  the  same  time, 

avoid rapid temperature changes even within the specified temperature range. 

- Do not use this product in places where there are cyclic temperature changes. Heat cycles other 

than ordinary changes in temperature can adversely affect the inside of the product.   

- Do not use where the product is exposed to direct sunlight. Shade the sunlight in locations 

where the product is exposed to direct sunlight. Failure and malfunction can result.   

- Do not use in a location where the product is exposed to radiant heat from surrounding heat 

sources. This can cause operating failure.   

-Do not use the product in an area where surge is generated. When there are machines or 

equipment that generate large surge near the pressure switch (magnetic type lifter, high 

frequency inductive furnace, motor, etc.), this can result in deterioration and damage of the 

internal elements. Take measures against the surge sources, and prevent the lines from coming 

into close contact.   

- Do not let foreign matter, such as wire debris, get inside the product. In order to avoid failure and 

malfunction, do not let foreign matter, such as wire debris, get inside the product.   

- The use of resin piping can cause static electricity to be generated, depending on the fluid. 

Therefore, when connecting the vacuum pressure switch assembly, take appropriate measures 
against static electricity at the customer’s equipment side, and separate the grounding for the 

product from the grounding for any equipment which generates a strong electromagnetic noise 

or high frequency. Otherwise, static electricity can break the vacuum pressure switch assembly.
