INSTALLATION 7.1. Safety Instructions DANGER! Risk of injury from high pressure in the equipment! • Before loosening the pipes and valves, turn off the pressure and vent the pipes. Risk of injury due to electrical shock! • Before reaching into the device or the equipment, switch off the power supply and secure to prevent reactivation! •...
7.2. Before Installation Installation position: Installation can be in any position. Preferably: Actuator upright. Prior to installation check pipelines for dirt and, if required, clean. Dirt fi lter: To ensure that the solenoid valve functions reliably, a dirt fi lter (≤ 500 μm) must be installed in front of the valve inlet.
