Assembly and installation Safety instructions Assembly and installation Safety instructions Hazardous situations during installation can be avoided by safety-conscious and proactive behaviour of the personnel. For installation, the following principles apply: • Only qualified personnel are allowed to set-up, install and commission the component.
Assembly and installation Valve with Welded Ends Valve with Welded Ends This section describes the welding procedure for the valve housing. Warning! Spring tension in the valve Danger of injury when opening the clamp connections on the actuator or on the housing as the released spring pretension will suddenly lift the actuator.
Start-up Safety instructions Start-up Safety instructions Initial commissioning For initial commissioning, the following principles apply: • Take protective measures against dangerous contact voltages in accordance with pertinent regulations. • The valve must be completely assembled and correctly adjusted. All screw connections must be securely tightened.
Operation and control Safety instructions Operation and control Safety instructions Dangerous situations during operation can be avoided by safety-conscious and proactive behaviour of the personnel. For operation, the following principles apply: • Monitor the component during operation. • Safety devices must not be changed, removed or taken out of service. Check all safety devices at regular intervals.
Cleaning and Passivation Cleaning Cleaning and Passivation Cleaning All parts in contact with product must be cleaned at regular intervals. Always observe the safety data sheets issued by the cleaning agent manufacturers. Only use cleaning agents which do not cause damage to the seals and the inner parts of the valve.
Cleaning and Passivation Passivation We recommend a flow velocity of at least 2 m/s. Passivation Before commissioning a plant, passivation is commonly carried out for long pipes and tanks. Valve blocks are usually excepted from this. Passivation is typically performed using nitric acid (HNO ) at approx.
Maintenance Safety instructions Maintenance 10.1 Safety instructions Maintenance and repair Before carrying out maintenance and repair work on the component's electrical equipment, perform the following steps in accordance with the "5 safety rules": • Isolate from the power supply • Take appropriate measures to prevent switch on •...
Maintenance Inspections • Disconnect all power and utility lines. • Markings, e.g. on lines, must not be removed. • Do not climb on the component. Use suitable access aids and working platforms. • Mark the lines (if unmarked) prior to disassembly to ensure they are not confused when re-assembling.
Maintenance Prior to removal Guideline Values for Maintenance Intervals Maintenance intervals Applications (guideline values) Media at temperatures of 60 °C to 130 °C approx. every 3 months (140 °F to 266 °F) Media at temperatures of < 60 °C approx. every 12 months (<...
