instructions and this operating instruction and
observe them.
Use the safety valve and its individual parts and
accessories only for the purpose intended by us.
Please observe the following points besides
the notes given in the text:
• Danger of burning at safety valves and with
the connected pipes while operating under
increased temperature.
• Disassembly of the safety valve only in case of
pressureless plant and after cooling down.
• Protection against risks caused by
evaporation also in case of pressureless
system; for information please contact the
safety inspector concerned.
• After assembly check all sealing points in
regard of tightness.
• In case of adjustment make changes at
pressure screw and adjusting ring only with
clearly reduced pressure to avoid unintended
response.
• Carry ear protection during adjustment,
ifnecessary.
• Danger of burning by discharge of small
amounts of possibly hot medium in case
of safety valves with open spring bonnet
(VSE1,VSR 1).
• Danger of injury while discharging at
disconnected discharge line.
• Extreme vibrations can lead to inadmissible
increase of operating pressure with the
possibly destruction of the safety valve or to
the destruction of the balanced bellows with
unintentional escape of medium.
