General
These service and data information (in brief SDI)
are operating instructions and contain instructions
for the safe installation and operation of the
pneumatic actuator. Should difficulties occur,
during installation, which cannot be solved with the
help of this SDI please ask your supplier for further
information.
These SDI are in accordance with the relevant
safety standards and regulations of the EU. When
operating the positioner outside the Federal
Republic of Germany, it is the responsibility of the
control system administrator or operator to ensure
that valid national control standards are met. The
manufacturer maintains all rights for technical
changes and improvements at any time Operators
are to receive instructions in accordance with this
SDI.
Qualified personnel
These are persons conversant with the erection, installation, commissioning, operation and service of the
product and in possession of the respective qualifications through their activities and functions, e.g.:
• Instruction about and obligation to maintain adherence to all operative regional and factory-internal
directives and requirements, conditional to application.
• Training or instruction in accordance with standards of safety in maintenance and utilisation of adequate
safety- and protective equipment.
• Training in first aid, etc. (See TRB 700).
Application:
Diaphragm actuators in conjunction with control valves serve to regulate the flow of fluids in heating systems,
cooling systems and cold water systems. The stroke action distinguishes between direct or reverse action
actuators. Decreasing actuator air pressure allows the stem to be retracted by spring force. The term
“reversible actuator” means that it is possible to change the action of the actuator in-situ, with a conversion
kit. When converting the action of an actuator with hand wheel, the action of the hand wheel must be taken
into account. A pneumatic positioner (PR 10) can be used to regulate the stroke.
Valve and actuator application, are the responsibility of the control system administrator. Particular markings
on the valve with actuator such as flow directional arrow are to be observed.
Dry compressed air is an absolute requirement during usage in below zero temperatures!
Valve and actuator may be supplied as single units or as valve / actuator combinations, factory mounted and
tested.

Air supply connection:
The diaphragm actuator is equipped with a tube connection permitting connection with 4 x 6-mm plastic
tubing.
Mounting orientation
It is recommended that the valves be mounted
within 90° of the upright position, in an easily
accessible location.
Caution:
When mounting in an inclined to
horizontal position, the yoke
should be fitted such that the
stanchions are aligned vertically
one above the other as is
depicted.

Caution:
Remember to take tubing temperature limits into account.

Danger:
Safe operation of the valve is only ensured if the valve is installed, commissioned and
serviced by qualified personnel in compliance with warning references in this SDI. In
addition, the general installation and safety regulations for piping, installation construction
and the professional use of tools and safety equipment must be guaranteed. Observe
unconditionally during all work on the control valve. Ignoring this information may cause
physical or material damages.
Pre-installation precautions:
• Provide protection against adverse weather conditions, e.g. moisture; (otherwise use drying agent).
• Suitable protective action prevents damage.
Installation site information:
The valve installation site should be easily accessible and provide sufficient room for service and removal of
actuators. Manual shut-off valves should be located up and downstream of the control valve, to facilitate
service and repairs without drainage of the piping system. The control valve should preferably be installed in
vertical position with actuator installed in the upright position. Inclined to horizontal installation without
support is only permissible for actuators with a low specific weight.
The permitted actuator weight when installed in the horizontal position, relative to valve stem, without
additional support at site is:
7kg for DN 15 - 40
Pipes should be insulated to protect actuators against high temperatures; here sufficient room is to be left for
servicing the stem seal pack. For trouble free function of the control valve the pipe immediately upstream of
the valve should be straight for the length of at least 2x DN and the pipe immediately downstream for the
length of at least 6x DN.

the valve should be straight for the length of at least 2x DN and the pipe immediately downstream for the
length of at least 6x DN.
Actuator mounting and removal information:
The control valve is normally supplied complete with actuator. It is not permitted to remove or replace an
actuator on systems in operation, under operating temperature and pressure. For conversion or service, the
actuator mounting procedure should follow the actuator SDI.
During mounting procedure care should be taken NOT to rotate the plug with downward pressure.
The maximum valve operating force0 must be observed when replacing the actuator. This is:
2000N for DN 15 – 40
Commissioning:
• Prior to commissioning check information on material, pressure, temperature and flow-direction are
in conjunction with the installation piping system plan.
• Follow TRB 700.
• Impurities in the piping system and valves, such as dirt, welding beads etc. will cause the system to
leak.
• Prior to commissioning a new installation, or re-commissioning after repairs or service, ensure that:
 Correct installation- and assembly work has been completed.
 Only qualified personnel carry out commissioning.
 Correct functional position of the valve is ascertained.
 Maintenance of existing protective facilities is carried out
