2 Safety
2.1 Safety measures
The following notices serve to recognise and avoid dangers in order to
ensure a handling of the control set that is as safe as possible when using it.
Read and observe all notices and commands within these operating instructions.
Non-observance of safety instructions and commands can result in very serious
injury.
Keep the operating instructions in a safe place and supply them to the operator.
2.2 Wearing parts
Filling adapters are used for the filling of self-sufficient nitrogen cylinders in order to adapt the various
connecting threads.
These filling adapters are particularly prone to wear and other specific stresses if the correct filling process
is not adhered to. As such issues cannot be ruled out, the filling adapters must be checked for damage
before each filling process.
Furthermore, these adapters, as well as the M8 standard nipples fitted in the base body, must always be
replaced after 100 filling processes or in the event of damage.
Other components of the control set must be checked regularly for wear or damage, and replaced if so
required.
Non-observance may void the guarantee or warranty. In addition, STEINEL Normalien AG is not
liable for damage caused by improperly maintained/replaced materials!
2.3 Danger from hidden hazards/remaining risks
WARNING
When working with the control set, severe and unpredictable remaining
risks generally exist and can only be counteracted with systematic work
planning, working with an awareness of dangers, experience, etc.!
The following list is meant to bring some of these dangers to your attention.
 If the filling adapters or M8 standard nipples are subjected to lateral,
impact or bending loads, the adapters may become damaged and
malfunction.
 Be sure to wear appropriate personal protective equipment for all tasks!
 Therefore perform all tasks with the utmost diligence!

2 Safety
WARNING
Danger of injury due to improper operation of nitrogen systems!
 Before the nitrogen systems are filled, their safe condition with regard
to accidents and operation is to be checked by suitably qualified
personnel.
 The nitrogen systems may only be operated by expert, authorised
and appropriately trained personnel.
2.4 Application
The STEINEL control set is used for filling, the variable pressure setting of and for checking the gas pres-
sure in various nitrogen systems.
Self-sufficient nitrogen cylinders
Tube connected nitrogen cylinders*
Composite plates*
Manifold plates*
* As long as the controls are readily accessible, it is possible with these systems to adjust the pressure while they are in operation.
2.5 Authorised personnel
Only specialist personnel trained by the STEINEL Normalien AG in the handling of nitrogen systems (expert,
commissioned and trained personnel) may fill the nitrogen systems.
Learn more about STEINEL Normalien AG’s training opportunities. “Trained expert personnel” refers to
persons that, based on their training, experience and manufacturer training, as well as their knowledge
of relevant standards, can evaluate the tasks assigned to them and recognise potential dangers.
These persons must be authorised (by the person in charge of the safety of the device) and able to perform
the respectively required tasks and to recognise and avoid potential dangers while doing so.

4 Filling of the nitrogen cylinder
4.1 Filling the nitrogen cylinder
DANGER
Charging tubing may be put under pressure.
 During the end coupling of the charging tubing via the quick coupling,
ensure that the coupling is fixed by hand. The pressure at the end
coupling immediately escapes with a loud bang.
DANGER
When filling the nitrogen cylinder with nitrogen, the pistons can extend
suddenly.
During the filling process, slowly increase the pressure in order to
prevent sudden extension.
Maintain a sufficient distance and do not reach into the piston’s
movement space.
ATTENTION
Only use nitrogen N2(class 2.8) for filling! Be mindful of filling pressure
specifications (OI, 4.2 Nitrogen filling pressure table) With nitrogen
cylinders with a higher filling pressure, use appropriate nitrogen bottles
(Manufacturer’s recommendation: 300 bar nitrogen bottles).
1. Chuck the base body into a vice.
2. Connect the charging tubing to the nitrogen bottle pressure reducer.
3. Connect the charging tubing to the quick-fit connector on the base body. First
close the control set regulating valve, and then the outlet valve.

Version 05.2020 Operating instructions for the SZ8085 control set 17
4 Filling of the nitrogen cylinder
4. Close the regulating valve at the pressure reducer and turn the pressure adjust-
ment valve for filling pressure back to minimum. Carefully open the nitrogen
bottle. The cylinder pressure and the nitrogen cylinder filling pressure can be read
on the manometers. Set the nitrogen cylinder filling pressure using the pressure
adjustment valve for filling pressure.
5. Open the regulating valve on the base body. Open the regulating valve on the
pressure reducer. The nitrogen cylinder will then be filled with the set filling
pressure. This pressure can be read on the base body’s manometer.
When the filling pressure has been reached, close the regulating valve on the
base body and then open the outlet valve.
 After opening, the residual pressure will escape from the base body and the
filled nitrogen cylinder can then be unscrewed.
6. For other nitrogen cylinders that have to be filled with the same pressure, repeat step 5.
7. Following a functionality and tightness test, the nitrogen cylinders can be used
again.
8. For the tightness test, STEINEL Normalien AG provides a force measuring device.
(STEINEL Normalien AG .Winkelstraße 7 .78056 Villingen-Schwenningen

9. The nitrogen bottle will be closed if no additional springs are filled. Then, open
the outlet and regulating valve on the base body, as well as the regulating valve
on the pressure reducer, in order to release the residual pressure. The charging
tubing can now be removed in a depressurised state.
4.2 Nitrogen filling pressure table
WARNING
The pressure values specified in this table correspond to the maximum
filling pressures. Only the specified filling pressure may be used during
filling. A higher filling may lead to damage or malfunctioning, and is
prohibited for safety reasons.
The relevant filling pressure is specified on the respective nitrogen cylinder and
must be obtained from there (see labelling on the nitrogen cylinder).

5 Filling of the manifold plate, compo-
site tube and composite plate system
5.1 Safety instructions
DANGER
When filling the manifold plate, tube composite or composite plate
system with nitrogen, the pistons can extend suddenly. This can cause
severe injuries or damage to the superordinate machine!
During the filling process, slowly increase the pressure in order to
prevent sudden extension.
Do not stand or linger directly at the plate, nor reach into the piston’s
movement space.
5.2 Filling of the manifold plate, tube composite and composite
plate system
DANGER
Charging tubing may be put under pressure.
 During the end coupling of the charging tubing via the quick coupling,
ensure that the coupling is fixed by hand. The pressure at the end
coupling immediately escapes with a loud bang.
Fill the plate via the control panel and according to the identification plate. With regard to the composite
systems, the permissible nitrogen cylinder filling pressure with the lowest pressure is decisive for the filling.
1. Connect the charging tubing to the nitrogen bottle pressure reducer.
2. Shut the regulating valve at the control panel.
3. Connect the hose at the control panel.

5 Filling of the manifold plate, compo-
site tube and composite plate system
4. Close the regulating valve at the pressure reducer and turn the pressure
adjustment valve for filling pressure back to minimum. Carefully open the
nitrogen bottle. The cylinder pressure and the plate/composite system fill-
ing pressure can be read on the manometers. Set the plate/system fill-
ing pressure using the pressure adjustment valve for filling pressure.
5. Open the regulating valve on the pressure reducer. The filling pressure can now
be read on the control panel manometer.
6. When the desired filling pressure has been reached, close the regulating valve
on the pressure reducer. The charging tubing can now be decoupled at the
control panel.
