4.1 Safety instructions
Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
Warning:
The handle is only pushed on. There is a serious risk of injury from a
falling tting when it is carried by the handle.
Therefore, always grip the ball valve tting rmly with both hands on
the basic body for carrying.
Warning:
When mounting or dismounting the tting on a vessel or pipeline
there is a serious risk of injury from medium escaping under process
pressure.
Therefore, only mount and dismount the ball valve tting with an emp-
tied vessel or in depressurized condition.
Warning:
When setting the tting in the " Operation" position with an installed
pressure transmitter, there is a serious risk of injury from escaping
medium under process pressure.
Therefore, only set the tting in the " Operation" position with an
installed pressure transmitter.
4.2 General instructions
Note:
For safety reasons, the instrument must only be operated within the
permissible process conditions. You can nd detailed information on
the process conditions in chapter " Technical data" of the operating
instructions or on the type label.
Hence make sure before mounting that all parts of the instrument ex-
posed to the process are suitable for the existing process conditions.
These are mainly:
• Active measuring component
• Process tting
• Process seal
Process conditions in particular are:
• Process pressure
• Process temperature
• Chemical properties of the medium
• Abrasion and mechanical inuences
4.3 Mounting instructions
The Standard version is mounted vertically, the ventilation/dehydra-
tion points downward. The movement of the swivelling and locking
level is also vertical.

Ball valve tting PASVE • for VEGABAR 82
30177-EN-210518
5 Maintenanceandfaultrectication
5.1 Maintenance
If the device is used properly, no special maintenance is required in
normal operation.
The cleaning helps that the type label and markings on the instrument
are visible.
Take note of the following:
• Use only cleaning agents which do not corrode the housings, type
label and seals
• Use only cleaning methods corresponding to the housing protec-
tion rating
5.2 Rectify faults
The operator of the system is responsible for taking suitable meas-
ures to rectify faults.
Should these measures not be successful, please call in urgent cases
the VEGA service hotline under the phone no. [phone].
The hotline is manned 7 days a week round-the-clock. Since we oer
this service worldwide, the support is only available in the English
language. The service is free, only standard call charges are incurred.
Depending on the reason for the fault and the measures taken, the
steps described in chapter " Setup" must be carried out again or must
be checked for plausibility and completeness.
5.3 Exchange seals
The seals can be replaced if required.
Note:
The standard version has 3 seals, the version with rinsing air connec-
tion 2.
To exchange the seals, proceed as follows:
1. Empty vessel or depressurize the system, if necessary, clean the
measuring site
2. Bring ball valve tting PASVE in position " Service"
3. Dismount pressure transmitter
4. Loosen the hexagon screws on the ball valve with wrench size 10
5. Loosen the catch and remove the bearing seats
6. Remove the ball out of the ball socket
7. Remove old seal from the grooves with a thin screwdriver. The
seal will be damaged in the process and cannot be used again.
Caution:
The metal in the ball socket must not be damaged.

8. Clean ball socket and grooves carefully
9. Insert the lower seal (smallest) into the groove, the shorter face
on top
10. Use your nger to push the seals as deep as possible into the
groove, then press them into the nal position by using a soft
piece of wood (steadily pressing)
Caution:
The seal must not be damaged
11. Apply the other seals accordingly. Then check the seals visually.
They must be placed evenly in their grooves and must not be
damaged.
12. Grease the ball socket with Vaseline
13. Screw the pressure transmitter in until it stops, max. torque, see
chapter " Technical data"
14. Assemble tting, tighten hexagon screws, max. torque, see chap-
ter " Technical data"
15. Check the ball for tight movement. At rst, the ball can only be
moved with a longer lever in mounted condition or when held in a
bench vice.
Only use suitable seal rings (standard: PTFE with carbon and graph-
ite; alternative: PTFE). Make sure that the seal rings are not damaged.
Damaged rings will cause leakage.
5.4 How to proceed if a repair is necessary
You can nd an instrument return form as well as detailed information
about the procedure in the download area of our homepage. By doing
this you help us carry out the repair quickly and without having to call
