3 Installation DANGER DANGER: overpressure in the vacuum system >2.5 bar KF flange connections with elastomer seals (e.g. O-rings) cannot withstand such pressures. Process media can thus leak and possibly damage your health. Use O-rings provided with an outer centering ring. Caution Caution: vacuum component Dirt and damages impair the function of the vacuum component.

Plug in the cable socket and secure it with the coupling ring. DANGER DANGER: mains voltage (supply voltage) Incorrectly grounded products can be extremely hazardous in the event of a fault. Use only a 5-conductor power cable (supply cable) with protective ground.
4 Operation Periodically check that the sealing surface of the valve housing and the O-ring of the valve plate are clean and uniformly lubricated. Otherwise, clean and lubricate the sealing surface and O-ring (→ "Minor Maintenance Work", 34). If the valve is operated under harsh or dirty conditions, it should be cleaned / maintained before the specified service time to maintenance (→...

Position indicator Unfasten the coupling ring and pull out the cable socket. Position indcator Coupling ring Pilot valve Unlock the cable socket and pull it out.
5.2 Compressed Air DANGER Connections DANGER: compressed air Physical injury can result if a pressurized compressed air line is dis- connected. Before doing any work, turn off the compressed air supply and relieve the compressed air lines. Central compressed air system Press the ring towards the valve and pull out the plastic tube.
Press the rings of the compressed air outlets towards the valve and pull out the plastic tubes. Compressed air outlet Compressed air outlet Silencers that have been installed instead of instant push-in fittings need not be removed. 5.3 Vacuum Connections DANGER DANGER: contaminated parts Contaminated parts can be detrimental to health and environment.
Failures due to contamination or wear and tear, as well as expendable parts (e.g. seals, actuator), are not covered by the warranty. VAT assumes no liability and the warranty becomes null and void if the end-user or third parties use the product with accessories, spare parts and consumables not listed in the corresponding product documentation.
6.1 Minor Maintenance Work • Precondition Butterfly valve opened DANGER DANGER: moving parts Parts brought into motion by electrical power or compressed air can catch parts of the body and cause injuries. Disconnect the supply media (→ "Deinstallation", 27) and make sure the valve is not inadvertently put into operation.
