Page 94: Compressed Air Preparation
3.1.2 Operation with lubricated compressed air Operate system equipment with unlubricated compressed air if possible. This is better for the environment. Festo pneumat- ic valves and actuators have been designed so that, if used as intended, they will not require additional lubrication and will still achieve a long service life.
Page 95 Incorrect additional oil and too much residual oil content in the compressed air will reduce the service life of the valve terminal. – Use Festo special oil OFSW-32 or the alternatives listed in the Festo catalogue (as per DIN 51524-HLP32, basic viscosity 32 CST at 40 °C).
Page 96 Another indicator of over-lubrication is the coloration or the condition of the exhaust air silencer. A distinctly yellow col- ouring of the filter element or drops of oil on the silencer in- dicate that the lubricator setting is too high. Festo P.BE-VTSA-44-EN en 1202g...

As per standard ISO 15407-2 and 5599-2, ports (12) and (14) are intended for supplying the valve terminal with external pilot air. The Festo valves for the VTSA... valve terminal require a pilot air supply exclusively via duct (14). In the case of the reversible 2x3/2-way valves from Festo, additional operating pressure is also required at duct (12) for the pneumatic spring.
