Assistance in the event of
malfunction
WARNING
Electric shocks can be fatal! Before working on
possible live components, ensure the unit is dis-
connected from the power supply. Fault-clearance
must only be undertaken by authorized trained
personnel. Unauthorized repairs or incorrect elec-
trical connections can cause the solenoid valve to
become defective. In this case, our warranty will
be rendered void.
? Fault
! Cause
• Remedy
? The solenoid valve does not open, there is
no flow downstream of the solenoid valve.
! There is no power supply.
• Have wiring checked by authorized trained per-
sonnel.
• Remove the unit and return it to the manufacturer.
? The solenoid valve does not close securely,
the flow downstream of the solenoid valve
does not stop.
! Valve seat is dirty.
• Clean the valve seat, see page 4 (Mainte-
nance).
• Install a filter upstream of the solenoid valve.
! Valve seat is damaged.
• Remove the unit and return it to the manufacturer.
! Valve seal is damaged or hardened.
• Remove the unit and return it to the manufacturer.
Technical data
Gas types: natural gas, town gas, LPG (gaseous),
biogas (max.0.1%-by-vol. H
2
S) or clean air; other
gases on request.
The gas must be dry in all temperature conditions
and must not contain condensate.

: see type label.
Opening time: ≤1 s.
Closing time: ≤1s.
Ambient temperature: -15 to +60°C (5 to 140°F).
No condensation permitted.
Long-term use in the upper ambient temperature
range accelerates the ageing of the elastomer ma-
terials and reduces the service life (please contact
manufacturer).
Storage temperature: -20 to +40°C (68 to 104°F).
Safety valve:
Class A, Group 2 pursuant to EN161.
Mains voltage:
220/240 V AC, +10/-15%, 50/60 Hz,
120 V AC, +10/-15%, 50/60 Hz,
24 V DC, +10/-15%.
Electrical connection:
plug with socket to EN 175301-803.
Enclosure: IP54.
Duty cycle: 100%.
