3 Safety
3.1 Intended use
The solenoid valve is intended for controlling pneumatic actuators.
3.2 General safety instructions
– The device can be used under the stated operating conditions in zones 1 and
2, explosive gas atmospheres, and in zones 21 and 22, explosive dust atmo­
spheres.
– Carry out all work outside potentially explosive areas.
– Observe the operating instructions for the solenoid coil.
– Installation and commissioning should only be conducted by qualified per­
sonnel.
– Only use media in accordance with the specifications.
4 Function
By means of external electric switching, the valve pressurises the downstream
compressed air flows alternately or simultaneously. The bi­stable valve is
rerouted through reciprocal switching on of the voltage to the solenoid coils and
maintains the switching position up to the counter­signal even after the signal is
removed.
5 Application
The explosion protection category of the entire system is dependent on the cat­
egory of the combination of the solenoid valve and the solenoid coil.

WARNING!
The discharge of electrostatically charged parts can lead to ignitable sparks.
• Prevent electrostatic discharge through the use of appropriate installation
and cleaning measures.
• Include the device in the system's potential equalisation.

NOTICE!
Particulate matter in the compressed air can cause electrostatic charges.
NOTICE!

Escaping exhaust air can swirl up dust and create an explosive dust atmosphere.
– For battery/block mounting, mount the valves to the manifold rails or mani­
fold blocks intended for it.
The solenoid coil is mounted on the electrically actuated valves using the sup­
plied spring washer and knurled nut.
– Push the solenoid coil and spring washer over the armature guide tube, tight­
en the knurled nut. Tightening torque: 1 ... 1.5 Nm
WARNING!
Impact movements involving rust and light metals and their alloys can result in
the formation of sparks.
• No not use any tools with corroded surfaces.
• Protect the product from falling objects.
– Limit the number and dimensions of disassembled connections to a minimum
and use short tubing.
– Ensure that no mechanical stresses can occur.
– Seal unused openings with blanking plugs or slot covers.
– Ensure that surfaces to be cleaned can be easily accessed.
7
– Draw in operating medium outside potentially explosive areas.
– Do not operate the device with separate pilot air. Do not turn coding.
– Do not use LR intermediate pressure regulator plates in potentially explosive
areas. The vented air can stir up dust.
8
Malfunction
Audible leakage at the connections
Incomplete ventilation of an output
Switching failures
Considerably slower switching times

– Only clean the device with a damp cloth.
– Service device after 5 million cycles or not later than after 6 months.
The replacement of wearing and spare parts is possible in individual cases.
Repairs of this type must only be carried out by trained and authorised special­
ists.
– Please contact your Festo technical consultant.
