1. Do not use pressure sensors with corrosive and/or 
flammable gases.
7.  The  applicable  fluids  are  air,  non-corrosive  gas, 
non-flammable gas. Consult with 
SMC if the switch 
is to be used with other types of fluids.
Warning
1. 
Do not drop, bump, or apply excessive impacts (100 
m/s
2
) while handling. Although the body of the sen-
sor  may  not  be  damaged,  the  internal  parts  of  the 
sensor could be damaged and lead to a malfunction.
2.  The tensile strength of the cord is 35 N. Applying a 
greater pulling force on it can cause a malfunction. 
When  handling,  hold  the  body  of  the  sensor––do 
not dangle it from the cord.
3. Avoid  repeatedly  bending  or  stretching  lead  wires. 
If the lead wires are routed in such a way that repe-
titive  bending  stress  or  tensile  strength  is  applied, 
it may  cause  them  to break.  When  the  lead wire  is 
moving,  secure  it  near  the  switch  of  the  unit.  The 
minimum  bending  radius  is  approximately  R40  to 
60 mm or more. Consult with SMC for details.
4. Do not exceed the screw-in torque of 1 N·m or less 
for  the  M5  female  thread  type  after  tightening  ap-
proximately  1/6  of  a  turn,  and  7  to  9  N·m  for  R1/8 
and NPT1/8 type. Exceeding this value can damage 
the product. Also, the wrench should be applied to 
the metal part integrated with piping (connected at-
tachment). Applying the wrench to other parts may 
lead to damage to the product.
5.  Allow a sufficient margin of tube length in piping in 
order to prevent application  of  torsional,  tensile  or 
moment load to the tubes and fittings.
6.  When  a  brand  of  tubing  other  than  SMC  is  used, 
make sure that the tolerance of the tube’s  O.D. sa-
tisfies the following specifications.
1) Nylon tubing: within ±0.1 mm
2) Soft nylon tubing: within ±0.1 mm
3) Polyurethane tubing: within +0.15 mm, within –0.2 mm
Caution
Handling
1. SMC  pressure  switches  do  not  have  an  explosion 
proof rating. Never use in the presence of an explo-
sive gas as this may cause a serious explosion.
Operating Environment
Warning
1. SMC  pressure  switches  are  CE  marked;  however, 
they are not equipped with surge protection against 
lightning. Lightning surge countermeasures should 
be  applied  directly  to  system  components  as  ne-
cessary.
2. Do not  use  in  an  environment  where  static  electri-
city  can  cause  problems,  otherwise  system  failure 
or malfunction may result.

Specific Product Precautions 1
Be sure to read before handling.
Refer to back pages 1 and 2 for Safety Instructions and Handling Precautions for SMC 
Products (M-E03-3) for Precautions.
1. Incorrect wiring can damage the switch and cause a 
malfunction  or  erroneous  switch  output.  Connec-
tions should be done while the power is turned off.
2. Do not attempt to insert or pull the connector when 
the  power  is  on. 
A  switch  output  malfunction  may 
occur.
3.  Wire separately from power lines and high voltage 
lines, avoiding wiring in the same conduit with the-
se lines. Malfunctions may occur due to noise from 
these other lines. 
4. 
If  a  commercial  switching  power  source  is  used, 
make sure that the F.G. terminal is grounded.

A part (Lever)
•  To connect the connector, insert it straight while pinching the 
lever, and then push the lever into the jack of the housing and 
lock it.
•  To  remove  the  connector,  pull  it  straight  out  while  applying 
pressure with your thumb to the 
A part (lever) and unhooking 
it from the jack.
• Do not attempt to insert or pull the connector when the power 
is on. A switch output malfunction may occur.
Connection/Removal of Connector
• Cut  the  tube  perpendi-
cularly.
• Hold  the  tube  and  in
-
sert  it  into  the  one-
touch  fitting  carefully 
and  securely  all  the 
way to the bottom.

Caution
3. Mounting of screws
• The tightening torque of the M3 mounting screw must be 0.5 
to 0.7 N·m.
• Do  not  apply  force  to  the  body  of  the  product  by  mounting. 
This may lead to damage to the product.
• Mount  the  product  on  a  flat,  even  surface.  Mounting  on  an 
uneven surface can damage the case.
• For piping  specifications of 01 and N01, close mounting can-
not be applied because of interference between fittings.
• For direct mounting or close mounting, select the fitting with a 
wrench flat and øD of 10 mm or less.
Recommended fittings
 One-touch mini Hexagon socket head male connector:
 KJS04-M5 (Tubing O.D. ø4, Connection thread M5 x 0.8)
 One-touch fitting Hexagon socket head male connector:
 KQ2S04-M5
 (Tubing O.D. ø4, Connection thread M5 x 0.8)
• When selecting other fittings, check that there is no interferen-
ce with surrounding equipment and enough space for mainte-
nance. (For details of the fittings, refer to SMC Best Pneuma-
tics)
Caution

2. Removal and mounting of DIN rail
• It is necessary to prepare a DIN rail adapter for the mounting 
of the DIN rail.
• Take care not to bend the claws of the DIN rail adapter when 
mounting.
Engage claw  1 of  the product 
with the upper part of the  DIN 
rail  and  press  it  downward, 
then  fit  claw  2  of  the  product 
horizontally until it clicks.
Engage claw  1 of  the product 
with  the  DIN  rail  as  indicated 
by  q  and  pull  it  to  the 
direction  w, and then  fit  claw 
2  of  the  product  horizontally 
until it clicks.
Move  to  the  direction  q,  and 
remove claw 1 as indicated by 
w.

• 
We  recommend  using  an  end 
plate available from the manufac-
turers  shown  on  the  right  for 
mounting  onto  the  DIN  rail.  For 
the  handling  and  other  detailed 
information  about  the  end  plate, 
contact the manufacturer directly.
