    According to protection class IP66, IP67 and IP69 (DIN EN 60529) as well as protection class Ip6k9k (ISO 20653), the control top T.VIS A-15 is suitable for use in this design and if the electrical and pneumatic connections are installed correctly.
  • Page 24: Safety Air Exhaust/Installation Position

    Description 3.1.7 Safety Air Exhaust/Installation Position To provide protection against excess pressure which can build up in the inside of the control top, a vent plug E2 is fitted in the base. In operating mode, the exhaust air from the lifting actuators is discharged via this vent plug. In the unlikely event of a damaged solenoid valve or in case of sealing problems, pressure relief is ensured.
  • Page 25: Transport And Storage

    Transport and storage Storage conditions Transport and storage Storage conditions You must first dry and preserve the control top to prevent damage if the control top is exposed to temperatures ≤ 0°C during transport or storage. Hint! We recommend that the valve should be stored at a temperature of ≥ 5 °C for a period of 24 hours prior to any handling (disassembling the housings / activation of actuators) so that any ice crystals formed by condensation water can melt.

    Once the control top has been properly mounted on the valve and the electrical connections have been established correctly, commissioning can be carried out. Since the T.VIS A-15 detects its solenoid valve fitting and therefore requires corresponding process valve conditions, the so-called special default must selected prior to SETUP in the event of a different.

    If maintenance must be conducted on a process valve that is fitted with a control top T.VIS A-15, the valve core must be pulled out of the housing. For this purpose, the valve disk pretension of the process valve must be relieved by actuating the main actuator.

  • Page 96: Purpose

    7.7.3 Hardware Description Three solenoid valves are installed in the control top T.VIS A-15: Solenoid valve Y1 – actuation of main valve Solenoid valve Y2 – lifting of lower seat Solenoid valve Y3 – lifting of upper seat Solenoid valve Y4 - lifting of upper seat if main stroke is activated.
  • Page 97 Start-up Test procedure for Tuchenhagen PMO valves type M / 2.0 When the seat moves downwards (approx. 6 mm), the green LED on the ® top of the control top will turn off and changes to a yellow flashing light (LEFF deactivate) or a green/yellow flashing light (LEFF activated) to indicate that the position detection device is detecting that the lower valve disk has left the closed position.
  • Page 98 Start-up If the upper housing is part of the active CIP circuit: Activate lifting of the lower seat by activating solenoid valve Y2 via the PLC. If the lower housing is part of the active CIP circuit: Activate lifting of the upper seat by activating solenoid valve Y3 via the PLC. ®...

    If the tolerance is not set in accordance with the intended purpose, this can result in malfunctions of the valve. GEA Tuchenhagen will not accept any liability for damage resulting from improper setting: the risk lies entirely with the operator of the facility.
  • Page 100 This allows user-specific process sequences to be optimally set. For the reliable monitoring of the valve seat seal GEA Tuchenhagen recommends the factory setting without signal attenuation. GEA Tuchenhagen will not accept any liability for damage resulting from the use of signal attenuation.
