2 Function
The solenoid valve VZWF–...–M22C is a forced 2/2-way valve
with solenoid coil.
The membrane of the valve is coupled with the magnetic core
of the coil. This allows the forced solenoid valve to switch
between input and output without pressure difference.
The solenoid valve VZWF–...–M22C is closed in the de-ener
gised state (Normally Closed - NC). Fig. 2
When current flows, the armature opens the pilot control hole in the valve seat
seal and lifts the membrane from the valve seal either directly or supported by
differential pressure of the medium pressure. If the power supply is cut off, the
pilot control hole is closed by spring force. The supply pressure affects the mem
brane and supports the sealing of the membrane on the valve seat.
3 Application
Solenoid valves of the VZWF–...–M22C series are intended to be used for con
trolling the flow of gaseous and liquid media in rigid piping systems.
The valve is suitable for vacuum operation with pabs > 100 mbar.
 The product may only be used in its original state without unauthorized modific
ations. Opening the valve body or dismantling the armature guiding tube is not
permitted.
 Take into consideration the operating conditions at the location of use. Provide
sufficient thermal circulation.
 Use the product only in perfect technical condition.
 Only use media in accordance with specification. Before using other media,
please contact our customer support.
 Operation with chemically unstable gases, abrasive media and hard materials is
not permitted.
 Use the solenoid valves only in the flow direction indicated.
 Wear suitable personal protective clothing, e.g. safety shoes and safety gloves.
 Comply with all applicable national and international regulations.
 Dispose of the product in an environmentally friendly manner. When doing this,
also take residual media into account (potential recycling of hazardous waste).

turned upon explicit request by Festo.
– Consult your regional Festo contact.
– Complete the declaration of contamination and attach it to the outside of the
packaging.
– Comply with all of the legal requirements for the handling of hazardous sub
stances and the transport of dangerous goods.

6 Installation
Note
Installation should only be conducted by qualified specialized personnel.
Avoid mechanical stresses, particularly on the solenoid coil and the armature
guiding tube.
Requirements
– The piping system is unpressurized, and no medium flows in it.
– The lines are clean.
– The lines ends are mounted.
– The power supply is switched off.
Note
For fault-free operation, the effective line cross section at the input end should
be at least as large as it is at the output end. Take proper account of the pipeline
cross sections, line lengths and elements that may reduce the flow rate (angle
sections etc.).
Clean valve
Residues of grease may be evident on the product due to the production process
used.
 Clean valve immediately before installation.

Connect lines
1. Bring the solenoid valve into its installation position. Please note the direction of
flow. The permissible flow direction is marked by an arrow on the valve body. In
vacuum mode, connect up vacuum at output end.
2. Screw the valve plugs into the pipeline ends. Comply with the permissible tight
ening torques (èFig. 6).
3. Establish the electrical connection. For this purpose use only the associated
socket type (èFig. 7).
– Connect electrical cables to the socket.
– Attach seal to the electrical contacts.
– Put on plug and lock with fastening screw (tightening torque 0.3…0.5 Nm).
4. Connect the power supply.
7 Commissioning
Note
Commissioning only by qualified specialist personnel.
When incompressible media are used (e.g. neutral water) pressure surges arise
in the piping system because of the switching of the valve. Before commission
ing, check the compatibility of the devices in the system in order to avoid dam
age to them. If necessary adjust your application parameters.
 Note the information on the rating plate.
 Operate the solenoid coils only with upstream fuses.
 Only start up the solenoid valve when it is fully installed and fitted.
 Check the connection points for tightness
 Before commissioning, check that the operating conditions and permissible limit
values have been observed (èTechnical Data).
8 Operation
Warning
Risk of injury due to hot surface!
The valve can become hot while in operation.
 Do not touch the valve during operation or immediately afterward.
 Comply with the operating conditions.
 Always observe the permissible limit values.
9 Maintenance and care
 Every 6 months, check product from the outside for leakage and function.
 Clean product regularly. The permissible cleaning agent is soap suds.
10 Disassembly
Warning
Risk of injury from combustion and chemical burns.
The media in the piping system and the valve can be hot and under pressure.
Medium residues can be in the product and escape when open or dismantled.
 Allow the valve and piping to cool and depressurize them.
 Wear specified protective equipment.
Note
Disassembly of the valve only by qualified specialized personnel.
1. De-pressurize the pipeline.
2. Switch off the power supply.
3. Empty the pipeline and valve completely.
– Ensure that no one is in front of the outlet opening.
– Catch discharging media in a suitable container.
4. Remove the solenoid valve from the pipeline (electrical socket connection,
mounting bracket and screws).
Replacement of the solenoid coil
In the case of repair, the solenoid coil can be replaced.
Dismantling:
1. Switch off the power supply.
2. Disconnect the electrical socket connection.
3. Leave the solenoid valve and solenoid coil to cool.
4. Loosen the retaining nut and take the magnetic coil and the O-ring from the
armature guiding tube.
Mounting:
1. Push the O-ring, the solenoid coil and the elements of the particular mounting
kit above the armature guiding tube.
2. Tighten the retaining nut (tightening torque èTechnical Data).
