Redundant System
A system in which even if one part
fails, the system as a whole will
still fulfill its required function. This
is usually achieved through the in-
corporation of dual channels of
operation such as dual valves, du-
al wiring, dual guard switches, etc.

Be sure to read this before handling the products. Refer to the back cover for safety in-
structions. For 3/4/5-port solenoid valve precautions, refer to the “Handling Precautions for
SMC Products” and the “Operation Manual” on the SMC website: http://www.smcworld.com

Continuous Duty

Caution
If a valve is energized continuously for a long period of time, the
rise in temperature due to heat-up of the coil assembly may cause
a decline in solenoid valve performance, reduce service life, or
have adverse effects on peripheral equipment. In particular, if 3 or
more adjacent stations on the manifold are energized
simultaneously for extended periods of time, take special care as
the temperature rise will be greater. In such cases, if it is possible
to select a valve with a power-saving circuit, be sure to do so.

UL Approved Product

Caution
When conformity to UL is required, the product should be used
with a UL1310 Class 2 power supply.
