Type 3281 Product description PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Intended area of application The motor valve Type 3281 is designed to control the flow of liquid and gaseous media. Only clean, liquid or gaseous media that do not attack the valve body and seal materials may be controlled. NOTE Damage to the valve body and seals due to unsuitable media. Unsuitable media can cause damage to the valve body and seals. ▶ Use only suitable media.
Type 3281 Product description - When the voltage is applied again, the control electronics automatically detect the current position. • Reduction of energy consumption. - The stepper motor is only supplied with energy when it opens or closes the valve further. Owing to the internal holding torque, the stepper motor only moves when it is controlled.

Type 3281 Installation DANGER Danger due to lubricant. Lubricant may contaminate the medium. There is a risk of explosion in oxygen applications. ▶ For specific applications use only approved lubricants (e.g. for oxygen applications or analysis applications). → Before re-installation, grease the thread of the body connection (e.g. with Klüberpaste UH1 96-402 from Klüber). NOTE Damage to the valve seat seal or seat contour. ▶ When installing the actuator, the valve must be in the open position.
Type 3281 Installation Installing the device electrically All electrical inputs and outputs of the device are not galvanically isolated to the supply voltage. DANGER Risk of injury from electric shock. ▶ Before working on the system or device, switch off the power supply and secure to prevent reactivation. ▶ Observe any applicable accident prevention regulations and safety regulations for electrical devices.
Type 3281 Installation The threaded sleeve of the M12 circular plug is connected to the actuator cover. The actuator cover must be connected to a suitable earthing connection.
