(see associated actuator documentation). When the valve is combined with a SAMSON Type 3271 or Type 3277 Pneumatic Actuator, the valve moves to a certain fail- safe position (see the 'Design and principle of operation' chapter) upon supply air or control signal failure.

Start-up and shutdown procedures fall within the scope of the operator's duties and, as such, are not part of these mounting and operating instructions. SAMSON is unable to make any statements about these procedures since the operative details (e.g. differential pressures and temperatures) vary in each individual case and are only known to the operator.

Before unblocking the actuator, release any stored energy in the actuator (e.g. spring compression). See associated actuator documentation. SAMSON recommends the use of positioners with integrated diagnostic firmware for valves used for on/off service. The partial stroke test included in this software helps prevent a shut-off valve normally in its end position from seizing up or getting jammed.
