1. Install valve [1] into the vacuum system. Valve seat side should face process chamber. The valve seat side is
indicated by the symbol "∇" on the valve flange.
Caution: Do not tighten the flange screws stronger than indicated under «2.3 Tightening torque».
Caution: Do not admit higher forces to the valve than indicated under «2.4 Admissible forces».
Note: Make sure that enough space is kept free to do preventive maintenance work. The required space is indicated
on the dimensional drawing.
2. Connect compressed air supply
to connection labeled ‘IN’ located at actuator.
Connect compressed air return line
connection labeled ‘OUT’ located at actuator.
Compressed air pressure (above ATM) must be in the range of: 4 - 7 bar / 55 - 100 psi. Use only clean, dry or slightly
oiled air. IN / OUT connections are 1/8“ ISO/NPT internal threads.
3. Install sensor(s) [2] according to the recommendations of the sensor manufacturer and directives given under
«2.5 Requirements to sensor connection».
4. Connect sensor cable [3] to sensor(s) and then to valve (connector: SENSOR). Refer to chapter «2.6 Electrical
