TERMS THAT ARE USED IN THIS OPERATIONAL MANUAL

TERMS DESCRIPTION

Turn off the main

switch

(1) This implies not only turning off the power switch, but also turning

off all power supply sources to the equipment from other fixtures.

This is to prevent current from other machines from reaching the

air leak tester through its power terminal or other connections.

(2) When the equipment is being used independently, it implies that

the power plug should be disconnected from the power.

Turn off the Air

Pressure Source

This implies not only terminating the air pressure supply into the

equipment but also suspending the air pressure supply source and

making sure that there is no pressure remaining in the equipment.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Descriptions for the icons used in this manual are shown below.

SYMBOLS DESCRIPTIONS

These points are essential

WARNING

MEMO

LABEL

(1) Do not remove the tester unit’s cover.

(2) Some parts inside of the tester carry a high

voltage and may be driven unexpectedly, due to the

tester’s

mechanical sequences. Possible electrical

shock or injuries may result. (Only qualified

personnel should perform maintenance and service

procedures.)

DANGER

FOR YOUR SAFETY

●DURING OPERATION

■

ONLYUSEWITHTHESPECIFIEDVOLTAGEANDPRESSURE

・Do not apply electrical voltage other than what is designated for this equipment. Neglecting

this warning may result in fire, electric shock, or equipment malfunction.

・ Do not apply pressure other than what is designated for this equipment. It may cause an

explosion or damage the equipment.

■

DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER

・There are high temperature, high voltage, and high pressure areas within the equipment.

Removing the cover may result in electric shock, burns or other injuries. Contact our service

personnel regarding periodic or routine maintenance. Only qualified personnel should perform

maintenance and service procedures. If maintenance is to be performed, turn off the main

power and the compressed air source, and ensure that the air leak tester is in a stable

environment.

■

CYLINDER CONTROL

・When controlling clamp cylinder actuation via signals from the air leak tester, provide an

area sensor to help alleviate injuries. Cylinders may move unexpectedly due to gravity and

the weight of the jigs when the main power and pneumatic supply are terminated. We

recommend employing lock-up cylinders to avoid such problems.

■

DONOTPLACEFOREIGNMATERIALSINTOTHETESTER

・Do not insert foreign materials such as metals or inflammable materials into the tester through

the vent hole or other openings. It will damage the tester and could possibly cause fire or

electrical shocks.

■

SYSTEMDESIGN

・The system is designed with a protection/security circuit to ensure that the system remains

secured in emergency situations such as tester malfunction or breakdown.

■

POWER SUPPLY

FRAMEGROUND

・Provide class 3 grounding for the power supply FG terminal. Potential electric shock may occur

if grounding is not properly secured.

■

DONOTSTEPONTHETESTER

・Do not play on the tester or use it as a step or footstool. The tester may fall down or break, and

cause possible injuries.

・Do not place anything on the tester. Items may fall and cause injuries.

■

DO NOT DISCONNECT THE COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY UNLESS NECESSARY

・Do not disconnect the compressed air supply connected to the fixture, air filter, and pressure

regulator while they carry compressed air. An inadvertent disconnection will cause a large

amount of compressed air to spurt out, and may cause possible injuries and eye impairment

that could lead to blindness.

WARNING

CAUTION

FOR YOUR SAFETY

■

DO NOT OPERATE UNDER INCOMPLETE SYSTEM CONDITIONS

・Do not operate the tester unless under ideal working conditions. Factors such as lack of

workspace, incomplete piping or unsuitable conditions may cause the tester to spurt out a large

amount of compressed air, and could cause injuries and/or eye impairment that could lead to

blindness.

・Do not open/close the ball valves on the rear panel while they are under pressure. It may cause

compressed air or residual pressure to spurt out unexpectedly when unclamping. It may also

cause possible injury or eye impairment that could lead to blindness.

■

LONGTERMSHUTDOWN

・Be sure to turn off the main power source and to cut off the air source for safety.

●MISCELLANEOUS

■

WHEN DAMAGED POWER CORDS, WIRING AND/OR PIPING ARE FOUND

・When damaged power cords, wiring and/or piping are found, cut off the main power and

compressed air source immediately, and replace the damaged parts. Continued use of

damaged parts will cause fire, electric shock, and may rupture piping.

■

INTRUSIONOFFOREIGNMATERIALS

・If water, oil, or other foreign materials enter the tester, immediately cut off the main power

and the compressed air source. Continued operation of damaged testers can cause fire, or

possible electric shock. Contact your local FUKUDA distributor for technical advice.
