Connecting input air lines and exhaust air lines

Note the following when using one or more on/off valves:
Warning
Risk of injury due to uncontrolled movement of the actuators.
The valve block's venting function cannot be guaranteed if the on/off valve is used improperly.
Note the following so that the valve block and the actuators connected to it are securely vented:
▶ Form pneumatic segments (option "P bulkhead") if necessary in order to vent just a part of the work
connections (valve segments) of the valve block via on/off valve.
▶ Either supply each P connection of a pneumatic segment of the valve block with pressure via an on/off
valve or seal it with a dummy plug.
▶ Feed compressed air directly at the P connection of a connection segment if an on/off valve is being
used in the same pneumatic segment.
▶ Ensure quick and secure venting. Use all available exhaust connections of the valve block and on/off
valve and ensure that pressure cannot build up in the exhaust channels.

16.14.1 Connecting pressure supply
note
avoid drops in pressure.
▶ Ensure a comprehensive pressure supply (minimum hose diameter 8/6 mm), especially for base modu-
les with P shutoff.
▶ For larger AirLINE Ex systems and heavily used applications, connect the pressure supply to all P/1
connections (right, left, and if applicable middle connection segments).
→ Connect the pressure supply to the P/1 connections of the connection segments.
→ Seal unused P/1 connections with a stopper.
→ Tightening torque on the threaded connections: maximum 20 Nm
→ When using one or more on/off valves, observe the warning notice in chapter "16.14".
