1 Safety instructions and measures
Intended use
TheType3969SolenoidValveismountedontopneumaticlinearorrotaryactuatorstocon-
trol them. Upon failure of the air supply, the solenoid valve vents the actuator, causing the
valve to move to the fail-safe position determined by the actuator. The device is designed to
operateunderexactlydenedconditions(e.g.operatingpressure,temperature).Therefore,
operators must ensure that the solenoid valve is only used in applications where the operat-
ing conditions correspond to the technical data. In case operators intend to use the solenoid
valveinotherapplicationsorconditionsthanspecied,contactSAMSON.
SAMSON does not assume any liability for damage resulting from the failure to use the de-
vice for its intended purpose or for damage caused by external forces or any other external
factors.
ÎRefertothetechnicaldataforlimitsandeldsofapplicationaswellaspossibleuses.
Reasonably foreseeable misuse
The solenoid valve is not suitable for the following applications:
−Useoutsidethelimitsdenedduringsizingandbythetechnicaldata
Furthermore, the following activities do not comply with the intended use:
−Use of non-original spare parts
−Performingmaintenanceactivitiesnotspecied
Qualications of operating personnel
Thesolenoidvalvemustbemounted,startedupandservicedbyfullytrainedandqualied
personnel only; the accepted industry codes and practices are to be observed. According to
these mounting and operating instructions, trained personnel refers to individuals who are
able to judge the work they are assigned to and recognize possible hazards due to their spe-
cialized training, their knowledge and experience as well as their knowledge of the applica-
ble standards.
Explosion-protected versions of this device must be operated only by personnel who has un-
dergone special training or instructions or who is authorized to work on explosion-protected
devices in hazardous areas.

Safety instructions and measures
Personal protective equipment
No personal protective equipment is required for the direct handling of the solenoid valve.
Work on the control valve may be necessary when mounting or removing the device.
ÎObservetherequirementsforpersonalprotectiveequipmentspeciedinthevalvedocu-
mentation.
ÎCheck with the plant operator for details on further protective equipment.
Revisions and other modications
Revisions,conversionsorothermodicationsoftheproductarenotauthorizedbySAMSON.
They are performed at the user's own risk and may lead to safety hazards, for example. Fur-
thermore, the product may no longer meet the requirements for its intended use.
Warning against residual hazards
The solenoid valve has a direct effect on the control valve. To avoid personal injury or prop-
erty damage, plant operators and operating personnel must prevent hazards that could be
caused in the control valve by the process medium, the operating pressure, the signal pres-
sure or by moving parts by taking appropriate precautions. They must observe all hazard
statements, warning and caution notes in these mounting and operating instructions, espe-
cially for installation, start-up and service work.
If inadmissible motions or forces are produced in the pneumatic actuator as a result of the
supply pressure, it must be restricted using a suitable supply pressure reducing station.
Responsibilities of the operator
The operator is responsible for proper operation and compliance with the safety regulations.
Operators are obliged to provide these mounting and operating instructions to the operating
personnel and to instruct them in proper operation. Furthermore, the operator must ensure
that operating personnel or third persons are not exposed to any danger.
Responsibilities of operating personnel
Operating personnel must read and understand these mounting and operating instructions as
wellasthespeciedhazardstatements,warningandcautionnotes.Furthermore,theoperat-
ing personnel must be familiar with the applicable health, safety and accident prevention
regulations and comply with them.

Safety instructions and measures
Servicing explosion-protected devices
If a part of the device on which the explosion protection is based needs to be serviced, the
devicemustnotbeputbackintooperationuntilaqualiedinspectorhasassesseditaccord-
ingtoexplosionprotectionrequirements,hasissuedaninspectioncerticate,orgiventhe
deviceamarkofconformity.Inspectionbyaqualiedinspectorisnotrequiredifthemanu-
facturer performs a routine test on the device before putting it back into operation. Document
the passing of the routine test by attaching a mark of conformity to the device. Replace ex-
plosion-protected components only with original, routine-tested components by the manufac-
turer.
Devices that have already been operated outside hazardous areas and are intended for fu-
ture use inside hazardous areas must comply with the safety requirements placed on serviced
devices. Before being operated inside hazardous areas, test the devices according to the
specicationsforservicingexplosion-protecteddevices.
Maintenance, calibration and work on equipment
ÎOnly use intrinsically safe current/voltage calibrators and measuring instruments for in-
terconnection with intrinsically safe circuits to check or calibrate the equipment inside or
outside hazardous areas.
ÎObservethemaximumpermissiblevaluesspeciedintheappendixofthisdocumentfor
the intrinsically safe circuit.
Referenced standards and regulations
DeviceswithaCEmarkingfullltherequirementsoftheDirectives2014/30/EUand
2014/34/EU. This EU declaration of conformity is included in the appendix of this docu-
ment.

Safety instructions and measures
1.1 Notes on possible severe personal injury
DANGER
!
Risk of fatal injury due to the formation of an explosive atmosphere.
Incorrect installation, operation or maintenance of the solenoid valve in potentially ex-
plosive atmospheres may lead to ignition of the atmosphere and cause death.
ÎFor mounting and electrical installation in hazardous areas, observe the explosion
protection approvals as well as the relevant electrotechnical regulations and the ac-
cident prevention regulations that apply in the country of use.

tion
ÎObservethetypeofprotectionandthespecicconditionsforthetypeofprotection
according to the instructions for explosion protection in the appendix of this docu-
ment.
Risk of fatal injury as a result of electrostatic discharge at the device.
ÎInhazardousareas(withtypeofprotectionExt),mountthedeviceinsuchawaythat
electrostatic charging cannot take place.
1.2 Notes on possible personal injury
WARNING
!
Incorrect electrical connection will render the explosion protection unsafe.
ÎAdhere to the terminal assignment and observe correct polarity.
ÎDo not undo the enameled screws.
ÎDonotexceedthemaximumpermissiblevalues(Ui,li,Pi,Ci,Li)speciedintheEC
typeexaminationcerticateswheninterconnectingintrinsicallysafeelectricalequip-
ment.
Risk of personal injury due to moving parts on the valve.
During operation and when the solenoid valve is triggered, the actuator stem moves
throughitsentiretravelrange.Injurytohandsorngersispossibleiftheyareinserted
into the valve.
ÎWhilethevalvemoves,donotinserthandsorngersintothevalveyokeanddonot
touch any moving valve parts.

1.3 Notes on possible property damage
NOTICE
!
Risk of damage to the solenoid valve due to incorrect mounting position.
ÎDo not seal the vent opening when the device is installed on site.
Risk of damage to the solenoid valve due to impermissible pressures.
ÎDo not connect a supply pressure to the solenoid valve that exceeds the maximum
supply pressure.
Incorrect assignment of the terminals will damage the solenoid valve and will lead to
malfunction.
For the solenoid valve to function properly, the prescribed terminal assignment must be
observed.
ÎConnect the electrical wiring to the solenoid valve according to the prescribed termi-
nal assignment.
