Safety instructions and measures
1 Safety instructions and measures
Intended use
The SAMSON Type 43-3 Regulator is a temperature regulator with three-way valve for mix-
ing and diverting service. The regulator consists of a Type2433 Valve and a Type2430
Control Thermostat. The valve and control thermostat are delivered separately and must be
assembled according to the instructions in these mounting and operating instructions.
The self-operated regulator is used to control the temperature in the plant to the adjusted set
point. The Type43-3 Regulator is used to control water.
The regulator is designed to operate under exactly dened conditions (e.g. operating pres-
sure, process medium, temperature). Therefore, operators must ensure that the regulator is
only used in operating conditions that meet the specications used for sizing the regulator at
the ordering stage. In case operators intend to use the controllers in applications or condi-
tions other than those 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 and nameplate for limits and elds of application as well as
possible uses.
Reasonably foreseeable misuse
The regulators are not suitable for the following applications:
−Use outside the limits dened during sizing and by the technical data
−Use outside the limits dened by the additional ttings mounted on the regulator
Furthermore, the following activities do not comply with the intended use:
−Use of non-original spare parts
−Performing service and repair work not described
Safety features
The Type43-3 Temperature Regulator does not have any special safety features.
Qualications of operating personnel
The regulator must be mounted, started up, serviced and repaired by fully trained and quali-
ed personnel only; the accepted industry codes and practices must be observed. According
to these mounting and operating instructions, trained personnel refers to individuals who are

1-2 EB 2173 EN
Safety instructions and measures
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.
Personal protective equipment
We recommend checking the hazards posed by the process medium being used (e.g.
uGESTIS (CLP) hazardous substances database). Depending on the process medium and/
or the activity, the protective equipment required includes:
ÎProtective clothing, safety gloves and eye protection in applications with hot, cold and/or
corrosive media
ÎWear hearing protection when working near the valve. Follow the instructions given by
the plant operator.
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
To avoid personal injury or property damage, plant operators and operating personnel must
prevent hazards that could be caused in the regulator by the process medium, the operating
pressure or by moving parts by taking appropriate precautions. Plant operators and operat-
ing personnel must observe all hazard statements, warnings and caution notes in these
mounting and operating instructions.
Hazards resulting from the special working conditions at the installation site of the regulator
must be identied in a risk assessment and prevented through the corresponding safety in-
structions drawn up by the operator.
We also recommend checking the hazards posed by the process medium being used (e.g.
uGESTIS (CLP) hazardous substances database).
ÎObserve safety measures for handling the device as well as re prevention and explosion
protection measures.
These mounting and operating instructions deals with the standard version of the device.
Components of the device that differ to those used for the standard version described in this
document can be exchanged with other certain SAMSON components. The residual hazards
of these components are described in the associated mounting and operating instructions
(see documents listed under 'Referenced documentation').

Safety instructions and measures
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.
Responsibilities of operating personnel
Operating personnel must read and understand these mounting and operating instructions as
well as the referenced documents and observe the specied hazard statements, warnings
and caution notes. Furthermore, operating personnel must be familiar with the applicable
health, safety and accident prevention regulations and comply with them.
Referenced standards, directives and regulations
The DVGW type examination certicate is included in the 'Certicates' section.
According to the ignition hazard assessment performed in accordance with Clause5.2 of
ISO80079-36, the non-electrical regulators do not have their own potential ignition source
even in the rare incident of an operating fault. As a result, they do not fall within the scope of
Directive 2014/34/EU.
ÎFor connection to the equipotential bonding system, observe the requirements specied in
Clause6.4 of EN60079-14 (VDE0165-1).
