EB 8015 EN 5-11
Installation
Î Drain the process medium from all the
plant sections concerned as well as the
valve.
Risk of personal injury due to pressurized
components and process medium being dis-
charged.
Î Do not loosen the screw of the test con-
nection while the valve is pressurized.
Risk of hearing loss or deafness due to loud
noise.
Noise emission (e.g. cavitation or ashing)
may occur during operation caused by the
process medium and the operating
conditions. Additionally, a loud noise may
briey occur through the sudden venting of
the pneumatic actuator or pneumatic valve
accessories not tted with noise-reducing
ttings. Both can damage hearing.
Î Wear hearing protection when working
near the valve.
Crush hazard arising from actuator and
plug stem moving.
Î Do not insert hands or nger into the
yoke while the air supply is connected to
the actuator.
Î Before working on the control valve, dis-
connect and lock the pneumatic air sup-
ply as well as the control signal.
Î Do not impede the movement of the actu-
ator and plug stem by inserting objects
into the yoke.
Î Before unblocking the actuator and plug
stem after they have become blocked
(e.g. due to seizing up after remaining in
the same position for a long time), re-
lease any stored energy in the actuator
(e.g. spring compression). See associat-
ed actuator documentation.
Risk of personal injury due to exhaust air
being vented.
While the valve is operating, air is vented
from the actuator, for example, during
closed-loop operation or when the valve
opens or closes.
Î Wear eye protection when working in
close proximity to the control valve.
Risk of personal injury due to preloaded
springs.
Actuators with preloaded springs are under
tension. They can be identied by the long
bolts protruding from the bottom of the actu-
ator.
Î Before starting any work on the actuator,
relieve the compression from the pre-
loaded springs (see associated actuator
documentation).
