8.1 Emergency action
The valve, on which the electric actuator with
fail-safe action is mounted, is moved to its
fail-safe position upon power supply failure
(see section 3.1).
The plant operator is responsible for emer-
gency action to be taken in the plant.
Tip
Emergency action in the event of valve
failure is described in the associated valve

DANGER
DANGER
!
!
Risk of bursting in control valve components
due to incorrect opening.
− Before starting any work on the control
valve, depressurize all plant sections con-
cerned and the valve.
− Drain the process medium from all the
plant sections concerned and from the
valve.
− Wear recommended personal protective
equipment. See associated valve documen-
tation.
9.1 Decommissioning
To decommission the electric actuator for
maintenance work or disassembly, proceed
as follows:
1. Close the shut-off valves upstream and
downstream of the control valve to stop
the process medium from flowing through
the valve.
2. Completely drain the pipelines and
valve.
3. Disconnect and lock the power supply.
4. If necessary, allow the pipeline and valve
components to cool down.
5. Remove the valve from the pipeline. See
associated valve documentation.
