There is a pilot air exhaust port (PE port) at thebottom of all pilot valves, excluding the common
exhaust type.
Please refrain from blocking this port as failure
to do so may result in valve malfunction.
In addition, if there is a possibility that thehazard classification will change due to theexhaust air, be sure to connect piping to thisport and exhaust it to a safe location.

1) The zones of this valve are as follows.
Gas: Zone 1 or 2
Dust: Zone 21 or 222) The external ground cable has a 4 to 6.64
mm2 conductor cross section, so be sure toprotect it from bending or excessive force.
3) When using a cable gland, be sure to use aproduct with ATEX certification.
4) Be sure to implement measures to prevent
static electricity from charging the non-metalparts on the external surface of the valve.
5) As air is also exhausted from the valve PEport (pilot valve exhaust passage), be sure toconfirm whether this will affect the ambientenvironment before use.
6) Be sure to either use antistatic fittings or to implement static electricity prevention measures.

Specific Product Precautions
Precautions on 50-VPE500/50-VPE700
PipingExternal Pilot

Change of Actuation

If the P port size of this valve is excessivelyreduced, a malfunction may occur due to theresulting pressure drop. We recommend using asize 10 or larger (fitting inner diameter) for the50-VPE542 and a size 12 or larger (fitting innerdiameter) for the 50-VPE742, with a piping
length of 3 m or less. In addition, when the P
port size is reduced, please use an external pilot
type valve.

Use external pilot type in the following cases:¡For vacuum or for low pressure 0.2 MPa orless¡When having P port downsized in diameter¡When using A por t as the atmospher ic
releasing port, e.g. air blower

It is possible to switch this valve between
normally closed (N.C.) and normally open (N.O.).

Special Applications
It can’ t be used in special applications such asusing as a non-leakage valve.
