3 Operation
3.1 Normal operation
Opening of closed valve
- without solenoid:
air supply to connection plate
- with solenoid:
supply specified control voltage to the coil
Closing of open valve
- without solenoid:
air release through connection plate
- with solenoid:
release control voltage
Attention! Acertain that the circlip connecting the lid to the cylinder is correctly in place. Even with disconnected supply,
loaded springs and/or air cushions in cylinders can be potential hazards.
3.2 Operation under increased temperature
See «1.1 Technical data»
3.3 Bake out
Valve: 450°C in open position / 350°C in closed position
Actuator: 150°/ option: radiation resistant E6Gy 140°C (for max.100h)
Position indicator: 80°C (option: 200°C)
Solenoid 80°C
Heating and cooling rate: 60°C/h
Operate the valve only after the bake-out temperature has been stable for two hours. If actuation during bake-out is
required, the heating and cooling rate from 200°C to 450°C must not exceed 30°C/h.
Temperature differences exceeding 30°C throughout the valve are not allowed. They may affect the performance of the
valve.

Valve open: valve closes
3.5 Behavior in case of power failure
solenoid: Valve closed: valve remains closed and leaktight
Valve open: valve closes
Emergency operation at power failure
Solenoid is provided with a slotted screw to operate the valve in case of a power failure (with compressed air available)
Standard solenoid
To close the valve:
Turn the slotted screw counter-clockwise to its stop
To open the valve:
Turn the slotted screw clockwise to its stop
For remote operation make sure that the slotted screw is turned
counter-clockwise to its stop.

5 Maintenance & repairs
Under clean operating conditions, the valve does not require any maintenance during the specified cycle life.
Contamination from the process may influence the function and requires more frequent maintenance.
Before carrying out any maintenance or repairs, please contact VAT. It has to be individually decided whether the
maintenance/repair can be performed by the customer or has to be carried out by VAT. The fabrication number on the
valve
made in Switzerland
Fabrication No.:
patented
. .
. . . . . – . . . . – . . . . / . . . .
A – . . . . . .
Fabrication number
has always to be specified.
All supplies (e. g. compressed air, electrical power) must be disconnected for removal/installation of the valve from/into the
system and for maintenance work.
Even with disconnected supply, loaded springs and/or air cushions in cylinders can be potential hazards.
Keep fingers and objects away from the valve opening!
Products returned to VAT must be free of harmful substances such as e.g. toxical, caustic or microbiological ones. If
products are radioactively contaminated, fill in the VAT form «Contamination and Radiation Report» and send it with the
product. The form is available at VAT. The maximum values indicated in the form must not be exceeded.
5.1 Preventive Maintenance
Instruction how to change the VATRING (Don’t touch inside valve parts without gloves)
Item number refer to the drawing on page 10.
