1.3. SAFETY
1.3.1. Warning symbols
Danger! Important instructions for protection from explosions
1.4. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.4.1. During installation
The reduce the danger from static electricity, the assembly should be earthed to
ensure electrical continuity between pipes and valves
1.4.2. During operation
The limit values for the operating conditions in explosive atmospheres must not be
exceeded
The valve was selected according to the working conditions specified by the user,
therefore INOXPA is not responsible for any damage that may occur due to the use
of valve under conditions other than those stated in the order
1.4.3. During maintenance
Danger! Important instructions for protection from explosions
An explosive atmosphere may be generated or be present when removing the valve
therefore safe work permits should be set and these tasks should only be carried out
by qualified or trained personnel.
1.4.4. Compliance with the instructions
Failure to comply with the instructions may prove hazardous for operators, the environment, the machine
and the installations, leading to a loss of rights for claiming damages.
This non-compliance may result in the following hazards (in addition to those already listed in the manual):
- Generation of explosive atmospheres and risk of explosion.
1.4.5. Warranty
Any warranty will immediately be declared void, as of right, and we will be entitled to indemnity for any
civil liability claim put forward by third parties (in addition to the conditions referred to in the manual):

It should be checked that the valve received is adjusted to the working conditions
in the classified zone as well as the order conditions
4.3. IDENTIFICATION
ATEX valves should be identified in a complementary manner:
The temperature class and the maximum surface temperature depend on the temperature of the product to
be stirred and the ambient temperature.

4.6. GENERAL INSTALLATION
The reduce the danger from static electricity, the assembly should be earthed to
ensure electrical continuity between pipes and valves
4.8. WELDING
Safe work permits must be set for any welding work in potentially explosive
atmospheres; it is recommended to this kind of work in non-classified atmospheres
(there is no explosive atmosphere in the valve’s location during handling)

5.2. START-UP
It should be checked that the valve received is adjusted to the working conditions
in the classified zone as well as the order conditions
Ensure electrical continuity between the valve and the installation, as well as
connecting the installation to earth
The stem and the body are connected to ensure electrical continuity (in case of DE double effect
actuator)
5.3. OPERATION
Do not modify the operating parameters for which the valve has been designed
without prior written authorisation from INOXPA
The valve was selected for certain working conditions in potentially explosive
atmospheres at the time of placing the order. INOXPA is not liable for any damage
that may arise if the information provided by the buyer is incomplete or incorrect
(liquid type, viscosity, classification of the potentially explosive area, gas generated
by the potentially explosive atmosphere, etc.)

7.Maintenance
7.1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The assembly and disassembly of the valves must only be carried out by qualified
personnel, taking into account the need to adopt safe working conditions in
potentially explosive atmospheres
If the head or external position detectors are not supplied with the valve, and the
client wants them installed, the specifications of Directive 2014/34/EU ATEX must
be met
7.2. MAINTENANCE
7.2.3. Spare parts
On requesting spare parts for a valve intended to work in a classified zone, it is necessary to
explicitly indicate in the order that they are for valve operating in an ATEX zone, as well as
the characteristics of said zone.
If the spare parts are not requested in this way, INOXPA shall not be responsible for the case
that the valve may not operate with parts which are not suitable for the classified zone where is
installed.
7.3. CLEANING
Before beginning the disassembly and assembly work it should be taken into account
the presence or possible formation of potentially explosive atmospheres
7.4. ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY
The assembly and disassembly of the valves must only be carried out by qualified
personnel, taking into account the need to adopt safe working conditions in
potentially explosive atmospheres
7.5. REMOVAL / INSTALLATION OF THE INNOVA F VALVE
The stem and actuator support are connected to ensure electrical continuity,
only for double effect actuator (DE)
7.5.1. Disassembly:
1. Apply compressed air to the actuator so that the plug stem (08) is in the open position (only for
NC valves).
2. Loosen and separate the clamp (34).
3. Separate the actuator (10) from the valve body (01).
4. Release the compressed air in the actuator (only NC valves).
5. Unscrew the Allen bolts (23) from the lantern (21).

5. Install the seat assembly (05C).
6. Once the seat assembly (05C) is installed, house the washer with the electrical continuity
connection cable on the plug stem (08); thread the same with the actuator shaft (10).
7. Tighten the four Allen bolts (23) that secure the lantern (23) to the actuator.
8. Apply compressed air to the actuator so that the plug stem (08) is in the open position (only for
NC valves).
9. Install the actuator (10) - lantern (21) - plug shaft (08) - body cap (12) assembly to the valve
body (01) (can be turned 360º according to the user’s needs) and secure it using the clamp (34).

PNEUMATIC ACTUATOR GENERAL DATA
The pneumatic actuator cannot exceed, under any circumstances, the 12 cycles per minute to
ensure that there is no significant increase in temperature.
In any case, in ongoing work it is not recommended to exceed the 2/3 cycles per minute to
ensure a reasonable life of the seal.
