*1. For general lubrication purposes, compressed air quality class 2.6.3 according to JIS B 8392-1 (ISO8573-1) is recommended. For precise bearings, compressed air quality class 1.6.3 according to JIS B 8392-1 (ISO8573-1) is recommended.
*2. Air consumption varies depending on the manifold pressure setting and the number of nozzles.
Notes:
- Maintain a viscosity range of 10 to 150 cSt while this unit is operating.
- Use a lubricant that has suitable atomization characteristics for mist lubrication specified or recommended by the machine manufacturer or bearing manufacturer.
- A lubricant with a viscosity grade of ISO VG32 to 68 is recommended. When using an oil with another viscosity, use a suitable brand and grade for Micro Fog lubrication.

*1. The rated voltage is only AC 100 V, DC 24 V.
*2. When the tank and oil supply is A2L in [1].
Notes:
- The pressure switch is mounted on the OUT side of the air supply solenoid valve, except for 01Y. Pressure is detected after the air supply solenoid valve operates, and a pressure deficiency signal may occur due to the delay in pressure detection. Be sure to configure the circuit carefully.
- The 01Y pressure switch uses a mechanical contact model. The 75Y, 79Y, 82Y, and 85Y pressure switches with control circuit board use a PNP solid-state model.
