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
To avoid personal injury or property damage, plant operators and operating personnel must
preventhazardsthatcouldbecausedinthecontrolvalvebytheprocessmedium,theoperat-
ing pressure, the signal pressure or by moving parts by taking appropriate precautions. Plant
operatorsandoperatingpersonnelmustobserveallhazardstatements,warningandcaution
notes in these mounting and operating instructions.
Responsibilities of the operator
Operators are responsible for proper use and compliance with the safety regulations. Opera-
tors are obliged to provide these mounting and operating instructions as well as the refer-
enced documents to the operating personnel and to instruct them in proper operation. Fur-
thermore, operators must ensure that operating personnel or third parties are not exposed to
any danger.
Operatorsareadditionallyresponsibleforensuringthatthelimitsfortheproductdenedin
the technical data are observed. This also applies to the start-up and shutdown procedures.
Start-up and shutdown procedures fall within the scope of the operator's duties and, as such,
are not part of these mounting and operating instructions. SAMSON is unable to make any
statements about these procedures since the operative details (e.g. differential pressures and
temperatures) vary in each individual case and are only known to the operator.

1.1 Notes on possible severe personal injury
DANGER
!
Risk of bursting in pressure equipment.
Valves and pipelines are pressure equipment. Impermissible pressure or improper
opening can lead to valve components bursting.
ÎObserve the maximum permissible pressure for valve and plant.
ÎBeforestartinganyworkonthecontrolvalve,depressurizeallplantsectionsaffect-
ed as well as the valve.
ÎDrain the process medium from all the plant sections concerned as well as the
valve.

1-4 EB 8139 EN
Safety instructions and measures
1.2 Notes on possible personal injury
WARNING
!
Risk of burn injuries due to hot or cold components and pipelines.
Depending on the process medium, valve components and pipelines may get very hot
or cold and cause burn injuries.
ÎAllow components and pipelines to cool down or warm up to the ambient tempera-
ture.
ÎWear protective clothing and safety gloves.
Risk of personal injury due to exhaust air being vented.
While the valve is operating, air is vented from the actuator, for example, during
closed-loop operation or when the valve opens or closes.
ÎInstall the control valve in such a way that vent openings are not located at eye level
and the actuator does not vent at eye level in the work position.
ÎUse suitable silencers and vent plugs.
ÎWear eye and hearing protection when working near the control valve.
Risk of personal injury due to residual process medium in the valve.
Whileworkingonthevalve,residualmediumcanowoutofthevalveand,depending
on its properties, cause personal injury, e.g. (chemical) burns.
ÎIf possible, drain the process medium from all the plant sections affected and the
valve.
ÎWear protective clothing, safety gloves, respiratory protection and eye protection.
Exposure to hazardous substances poses a serious risk to health.
Certainlubricantsandcleaningagentsareclassiedashazardoussubstances.These
substances have a special label and a material safety data sheet (MSDS) issued by the
manufacturer.
ÎMakesurethatanMSDSisavailableforanyhazardoussubstanceused.Ifneces-
sary, contact the manufacturer to obtain an MSDS.
ÎInformyourselfaboutthehazardoussubstancesandtheircorrecthandling.

EB 8139 EN 1-5
Safety instructions and measures
WARNING
!
Risk of personal injury through incorrect operation, use or installation as a result of
information on the valve being illegible.
Over time, markings, labels and nameplates on the valve may become covered with dirt
orbecomeillegibleinsomeotherway.Asaresult,hazardsmaygounnoticedandthe
necessary instructions not followed. There is a risk of personal injury.
ÎKeep all relevant markings and inscriptions on the device in a constantly legible
state.
ÎImmediately renew damaged, missing or incorrect nameplates or labels.
1.3 Notes on possible property damage
NOTICE
!
Risk of valve damage due to contamination (e.g. solid particles) in the pipeline.
The plant operator is responsible for cleaning the pipelines in the plant.
ÎFlush the pipelines before start-up.
Risk of valve damage due to unsuitable medium properties.
Thevalveisdesignedforaprocessmediumwithdenedproperties.
ÎOnlyusetheprocessmediumspeciedforsizingthevalve.
Risk of leakage and valve damage due to excessively high or low tightening
torques.
Observethespeciedtorqueswhentighteningcontrolvalvecomponents.Excessive
tightening torques lead to parts wearing out more quickly. Parts that are too loose may
cause leakage.
ÎObservethespeciedtighteningtorques.
Risk of valve damage due to the use of unsuitable lubricants.
The lubricants to be used depend on the valve material. Unsuitable lubricants may cor-
rode and damage surfaces.
ÎOnly use lubricants approved by SAMSON.

Design and principle of operation
3 Design and principle of oper-
ation
The pneumatic control valve consists of an
angle seat valve with a soft-seated plug and
a pneumatic piston actuator. Depending on
the version, the actuator can be equipped
with a mechanical manual override or an
electric limit switch.
Themediumowsthroughthevalveinthe
direction indicated by the arrow. The signal
pressure applied to the piston actuator deter-
mines the position of the plug and thus the
cross-sectionalareaofowbetweentheseat
and plug.
Theplug/actuatorstem(14)issealedbya
self-adjusting PTFE V-ring packing (22) at
the valve and by a radial shaft seal (25) at
the actuator.
3.1 Fail-safe position
The fail-safe position of the valve upon sup-
ply air (signal pressure) failure is determined
by how the piston and actuator spring are
arranged in the pneumatic actuator.
Fail-close
The actuator spring closes the valve upon air
supply failure. The valve opens when the sig-
nal pressure increases.
Fail-open
The actuator spring opens the valve upon air
supply failure. The valve closes when the sig-
nal pressure increases.
3.2 Additional ttings
Strainers
We recommend installing a SAMSON
strainer upstream of the valve. It prevents sol-
id particles in the process medium from
damaging the valve.
Additional actuator spring (changing the
spring force)
Fail-close(FA/NC/TS)valveswiththevalve
sizesDN40and50(NPS1½and2)and
with60cm²actuatorscanbettedwithone
or two actuator springs (marked on the
nameplate with Ior II). See the 'Markings on
the device' section).
Byaddingaspringorremovingtheinternal
spring, the permissible differential pressure
and associated signal pressure can be
changed.
