General safety instructions
1 General safety instructions
For your own safety, follow these instructions concerning the mounting, start up, and opera-
tion of the limit switch:
ÎThedeviceistobemounted,starteduporoperatedonlybytrainedandexperienced
personnel familiar with the product.
According to these mounting and operating instructions, trained personnel refers to indi-
vidualswhoareabletojudgetheworktheyareassignedtoandrecognizepossibledan-
gersduetotheirspecializedtraining,theirknowledgeandexperienceaswellastheir
knowledgeoftheapplicablestandards.
ÎAnyhazardsthatcouldbecausedinthevalvebytheprocessmediumandtheoperating
pressureorbymovingpartsaretobepreventedbytakingappropriateprecautions.
ÎIfinadmissiblemotionsorforcesareproducedinthepneumaticactuatorasaresultof
thesupplypressurelevel,itmustberestrictedusingasuitablesupplypressurereducing
station.
To avoid damage to any equipment, the following also applies:
ÎDonotoperatethedevicewiththebackofthedevice/ventopeningfacingupwards.
ÎDonotsealtheventopeningwhenthedeviceisinstalledonsite.
Vent opening
ÎProper shipping and storage are assumed.
Note:
Devices with a CE marking fulll the requirements of the Directive 2004/108/EC.
The Declaration of Conformity is available on request.

ation
TheType4740LimitSwitchcanbemounted
ontothefollowingdevices:
−Type3353AngleSeatValve(seeFig.1)
−Type3354GlobeValve
−Type 3379 Pneumatic Actuator
Theinductiveproximityswitchesormicros-
witchescausesignalstobesenttoacontrol
oralarmsystemwhenthetravelexceedsor
fallsbelowtheadjustedlimit.
Thelimitswitchcanoptionallybettedwith
a3/2-waysolenoidvalve.Whentheinte-
gratedsolenoidvalveisenergized,supply
air is applied to the actuator. When the so-
lenoidvalveisde-energized,theactuatoris
ventedandthecontrolvalvemovestoitsfail-
safe position.
The switching points of the limit contacts can
bechangedwithinthetravelrangeafterin-
stallation.Seesection5.1onpage20.
3.1 Versions
TwoversionsoftheType4740LimitSwitch
areavailable:
−Withinductiveproximityswitches
−With microswitches
