For process valves which do not allow the air to be guided internally, the control top has a connection option for supplying the air externally via a hose. The control top T.VIS A-15 may not be used in areas where ATEX approval is required. Hint!
EC Machinery Directive on your own. In general, only original spare parts supplied by GEA Tuchenhagen GmbH should be fitted. This ensures that the component is always operating properly and efficiently.
Safety IP Protection classes IP Protection classes The control top T.VIS A-15 in its standard version fulfils the requirements of protection class IP66, IP67 and IP69 (DIN EN 60529) and protection class IP6k9k (ISO 20653). IP classes provide information about the degree of protection an electrical device housing provides against the ingress of solids (first digit) or humidity (second digit).

Safety In the event of malfunctions, shut down the control top (disconnect from the • power and air supply) and secure it against being used. Before starting any service, maintenance or repair work, disconnect the • control top from the power supply and secure it against inadvertently being switched back on again.
3.1.2 Control top without solenoid valves The T.VIS A-15 control top without solenoid valves acts as a position indicator. After programming, it indicates the status of the process valve locally by coloured LEDs under the illuminated dome so that it is visible over a long distance.
Fig.5: Control top with cap including buttons (standard variant in IP66) According to protection class IP66 (EN 60529) the control top T.VIS A-15 is suitable for use in this design and if the electrical and pneumatic connections are installed correctly.
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.
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.
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.

Start-up Safety notes Start-up Safety notes Initial commissioning For initial commissioning, the following principles apply: Take protective measures against dangerous contact voltages in accordance • with pertinent regulations. The control top must be completely assembled and correctly adjusted. All • screw connections must be securely tightened.
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.

Page 101. ® If 24/7 PMO valves (types M_O (06), M/2.0, MT/T_T (08) are used in conjunction with the control top T.VIS A-15, the factory settings in the control top may not be changed. ® If no selection is made within 30 seconds, the setting last selected is automatically adopted and visualized in accordance with the colours selected.
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.

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.

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.

Cleaning Cleaning Cleaning Cleaning Observe the safety data sheets supplied by the detergent manufacturers. Only use detergents which are not aggressive towards synthetic materials and the sealing materials used and which are non-abrasive. Hint! After all cleaning work, make sure that the control top still complies with all safety instructions in this operating manual and thus that intended use is still given.
