Samson 43-1 Mounting And Operating Instructions page 3

General safety instructions

The temperature regulators may only be mounted, started up or serviced by
fully trained and qualified personnel, observing the accepted industry codes
and practices. Make sure employees or third persons are not exposed to any
danger.
All safety instructions and warnings in these mounting and operating instruc -
tions, particularly those concerning assembly, start-up and maintenance, must
be observed.

The control valves fulfil the requirements of the European Pressure Equipment
Directive 97/23/EC. Valves with a CE marking have a declaration of con -
formity which includes information about the applied conformity assessment
procedure. The declaration can be viewed and downloaded on the Internet at
http://www.samson.de.

For appropriate operation, make sure that the temperature regulators are
only used in areas where the operating pressure and temperatures do not ex -
ceed the operating values which are based on the valve sizing data submitted
in the order. The manufacturer does not assume any responsibility for dam -
age caused by external forces or any other external influence!
Any hazards which could be caused in the temperature regulator by the pro -
cess medium, the operating pressure or by moving parts are to be prevented
by means of the appropriate measures.

Proper shipping and appropriate storage are assumed.
Caution!

Do not start up the temperature regulators before the valve and control
thermostat have been installed.

Prior to removing the regulator from the pipeline, make sure the relevant sec -
tion of the pipeline is depressurized and drained.

Allow the plant to fill up slowly on start-up.

Make sure regulators are frost protected when used to control freezing media.

If the sensor is used in combination with a thermowell, only SAMSON thermo -
wells should be used.
