In case operators intend to use the control valve in other applica- tions or conditions than specified, contact SAMSON. SAMSON does not assume any liability for damage resulting from the failure to use the de- vice for its intended purpose or for damage caused by external forces or any other external factors.

(see associated actuator documentation). When the valve is combined with a SAMSON Type 3271 or Type 3277 Pneumatic Actuator, the valve moves to a certain fail- safe position upon supply air or control signal failure (see section 3.1). The fail-safe action of the actuator is the same as its direction of action and is specified on the nameplate of SAMSON actuators.

Safety instructions and measures Furthermore, the operator must ensure that operating personnel or third persons are not exposed to any danger. Hazards resulting from the special working conditions at the installation site of the valve must be identified in a risk assessment and prevented through the corresponding safety instruc- tions drawn up by the operator.
Safety instructions and measures 1.1 Notes on possible severe personal injury DANGER Risk of bursting in pressure equipment. Valves and pipelines are pressure equipment. Impermissible pressure or improper opening can lead to valve components bursting. Î Observe the maximum permissible pressure for valve and plant. Î...

Risk of personal injury due to preloaded springs. Valves in combination with pneumatic actuators with preloaded springs are under tension. These control valves with SAMSON pneumatic actuators can be identified by the long bolts protruding from the bottom of the actuator.
Parts that are too loose may cause leakage. Î Observe the specified tightening torques (u AB 0100). Risk of valve damage due to the use of unsuitable tools. Certain tools are required to work on the valve. Î Only use tools approved by SAMSON (u AB 0100). EB 8048 EN...
