Intended use

The electro-pneumatic soft-start/quick exhaust valve is intended solely for reducing pressure quickly
and safely and for building up pressure gently in pneumatic piping systems and terminal equipment in
industry.
The product is a safe, redundant mechatronic system in accordance with the requirements set out in
EN ISO 13849-1+2, in which the pneumatic safety function, safe venting, is guaranteed even in the
event of an error in the valve (e.g. due to wear or contamination).
The MS6-SV-...E-10V24- receives secure enable signals (EN1/EN2) from commercially-available elec-
tronic or electromechanical safety switching devices via its electrical connection (NECA multi-pin plug
socket Sub-D, 9-pin). These safety switching devices monitor the machine's protective devices (e.g.
emergency stop, light curtain, electrical door switch on the protective housing, etc.).
The product is intended for installation in a machine or automated system and must be used exclusively
as follows:
– in an industrial environment
– within the limits of the product defined by the technical data (
