Common Precautions

Be sure to read before handling.

For detailed precautions on every series, refer to main text.

Selection

4. Use clean air

Warning

1. Confirm the specifications.

Products represented in this catalog are designed for use in compressed air appllications only (including vacuum), unless otherwise indicated.

Do not use the product outside their design parameters. Please contact SMC when using the products in applications other than compressed air (including vacuum).

Mounting

Warning

1. Instruction manual

Install the products and operate them only after reading the instruction manual carefully and understanding its contents. Also keep the manual where it can be referred to as necessary.

2. Securing the space for maintenance

When installing the products, please allow access for maintenance.

3. Tightening torque

When installing the products, please follow the listed torque specifications.

Piping

Caution

1. Before piping

Make sure that all debris, cutting oil, dust, etc, are removed from the piping.

2. Wrapping of pipe tape

When screwing piping or fittings into ports, ensure that chips from the pipe threads or sealing material do not get inside the piping. Also, when the pipe tape is used, leave 1.5 to 2 thread ridges exposed at the end of the threads.

Air Supply

Warning

1. Operating fluid

Please consult with SMC when using the product in applications other than compressed air (including vacuum). Regarding products for general fluid, please ask SMC about applicable fluids.

2. Install an air dryer, aftercooler, etc.

Excessive condensate in a compressed air system may cause valves and other pneumatic equipment to malfunction. Installation of an air dryer, after cooler etc. is recommended.

3. Drain flushing

If condensate in the drain bowl is not emptied on a regular basis, the bowl will over flow and allow the condensate to enter the compressed air lines.

If the drain bowl is difficult to check and remove, it is recommended that a drain bowl with the auto-drain option be installed.

For compressed air quality, refer to “Air Preparation Equipment” catalog.

If the compressed air supply is contaminated with chemicals, cynthetic materials, corrosive gas, etc., it may lead to break down or malfunction.

Operating Environment

Warning

1.Do not use in environments where the product is directly exposed to corrosive gases, chemicals, salt water, water or steam.

2.Do not expose the product to direct sunlight for an extended period of time.

3.Do not use in a place subject to heavy vibrations and/or shocks.

4.Do not mount the product in locations where it is exposed to radiant heat.

Maintenance

Warning

1. Maintenance procedures are outlined in the operation manual.

Not following proper procedures could cause the product to malfunction and could lead to damage to the equipment or machine.

2. Maintenance work

If handled improperly, compressed air can be dangerous. Assembly, handling and repair of pneumatic systems should be performed by qualified personnel only.

3. Drain flushing

Remove drainage from air filters regularly. (Refer to the specifications.)

4. Shut-down before maintenance

Before attempting any kind of maintenance make sure the supply pressure is shut of and all residual air pressure is released from the system to be worked on.

5. Start-up after maintenance and inspection

Apply operating pressure and power to the equipment and check for proper operation and possible air leaks. If operation is abnormal, please verify product set-up parameters.

6. Do not make any modifications to be product.

Do not take the product apart.

MHT2 specifications

SMC Networks has established itself as a leader in providing innovative networking solutions, and their MHT2 series represents a significant advancement in technology tailored for modern networking needs. The SMC Networks MHT2 is an advanced multi-port Gigabit Ethernet switch designed to enhance network performance in various environments, from small offices to more extensive enterprise networks.

One of the standout features of the MHT2 is its support for Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology. This feature allows the switch to deliver power and data through the same Ethernet cable, simplifying installation and reducing the need for additional electrical wiring. With up to 30 watts per port, the MHT2 is perfect for powering devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones, making it an ideal choice for organizations looking to streamline their network setup.

In addition to PoE capabilities, the MHT2 includes multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports, ensuring high-speed connectivity for bandwidth-hungry applications. The switch’s auto-negotiation feature automatically detects the connection speed of devices, optimizing network performance. This ensures seamless communication across all connected devices while minimizing latency and maximizing throughput.

Security is another critical consideration for modern networking, and the SMC Networks MHT2 addresses this with features like VLAN support, which allows administrators to segment the network for enhanced security. By creating separate virtual networks, organizations can enhance their data protection strategies, ensuring that sensitive information is kept secure. Additionally, the switch supports QoS (Quality of Service) features, enabling the prioritization of network traffic for critical applications, thereby optimizing the performance of real-time services like video conferencing and VoIP.

The MHT2 series also prides itself on its user-friendly interface and management capabilities. With built-in web-based management, administrators can easily configure and monitor the switch, making network management straightforward and efficient. Support for SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) allows for enhanced monitoring and troubleshooting, which is essential for maintaining a robust network infrastructure.

In summary, the SMC Networks MHT2 stands out for its combination of Power over Ethernet support, multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports, advanced security features, and user-friendly management options. These characteristics make it a valuable asset for any organization looking to enhance its networking capabilities, ensuring reliable, high-performance connectivity in a fast-evolving digital landscape.
