1. Based on legislative requirements, all operators in the logistics chain, from the manufacturer of the certified Ex solenoid coil to the end user
of the complete equipement, are obliged to make and maintain traceability records of Ex products, enabling, if necessary, the withdrawal
of products of certain serial numbers from the market due to defects of non-conformities, endangering safety of use in an explosive
atmosphere. In practice, this means keeping records of the assignment of Ex coil/valve identification numbers to the identification numbers
of the operators immediately down the logistics chain.
2. To meet the requirement for traceability of Ex products, it is necessary to keep product type labels legible throughout their technical life.

2. Valve protection against initiation of explosion of explosive atmosphere
2.1 Protection of electrical parts
The electrical part of the valve is an ATEX and IECEx certified solenoid coil.
The basic is the „d“ protection by flameproof enclosure (EN 60079-1, IEC 60079-1), which prevents the penetration of hot gases into the
surrounding explosive atmosphere in the event that an explosion is initiated inside the flameproof enclosure. For explosive atmospheres consisting of
dust, the enclosure „t“ (EN 60079-31, IEC 60079-31) is used. In addition, the coil is sealed with a potting compound.

2.3 Protection of non-electrical parts
The non-electrical part of the valve consists of the hydraulic part and the solenoid actuating system.
The safety of the non-electrical parts has been ensured and assessed according to ISO 80079-36 and ISO 80079-37 and EN ISO/IEC 80079-38.
› The moving parts, the spool / poppet, armature and pin of the actuating system, perform a sliding motion in a space separated by a seal from the
surrounding environment and flooded with working fluid.
› Not exceeding the maximum surface temperature of the given temperature class is conditioned by not exceeding the maximum temperature
of the working fluid (70 °C), the maximum ambient temperature (see table 4.4 Basic technical parameters) and the nominal voltage of the coil.
› The valve body and coil body are of robust construction, sufficiently resistant to destruction by mechanical shock.
(Valve body impact resistance test performed according to EN IEC 60079-0 paragraph 26.4.2: two impacts with a weight with a hardened head of
diameter D25 mm, weighing m = 1 kg, falling from a height of 0.7 m, with a total potential energy of 7 J)
› The hydraulic section has sufficient compressive strength, tested at 1.5 times the maximum operating pressure of the fluid.
› The surface of the valve is grounded using a grounding screw and protected against static electricity discharge.
› The construction materials used meet the requirements for limited content of certain elements to prevent the formation of electrical cells and
excessive corrosion.
› The surface materials used do not produce sparks during mechanical impacts.
› The sliding rod of the manual override N7 is protected by a sealing sleeve against the ingress of contaminating particles, especially hard particles,
which could create an initiating spark.
2.2 Cable gland
The cable gland is a separately certified ex-component. A gland with certified type protection „d“ must be used to prevent hot gases from escaping
and initiating an explosion in the surrounding environment in the event of an explosion in the interior of the coil casing. (The gland is not included
with the valve.)

2.4 Applicable legislation and standards
3. Risks and limitations of product use
3.1 Risks associated with operating in explosive atmospheres
DANGER
Explosive atmosphere type and zone
The valve must not be used outside the specified range (see paragraph 1Product use ), in particular it is not
intended for equipment category M1group l (mines) zone 0 group II (gases) and zone 20 group III (dust).
Risk of explosion.
DANGER
Surface temperature
When selecting the valve, the surface temperature requirement of the valve must be taken into account.
It must be min. 25 °C lower than the temperature necessary to initiate an explosion of an explosive
atmosphere of a given composition. If the initiation temperature is exceeded an explosion will occur.
DANGER
Handling in an explosive atmosphere
It is forbidden to install, disassemble, repair or replace the valve in an exlosive atmosphere.
Risk of explosion.

3.2 Risk associated with the hydraulic part of the valve
DANGER
Maximum operating pressure
The valves may be used for a maximum pressure of 350 bar. If the maximum pressure is exceeded there is a risk
of damage to the valve. Exceeding the pressure value may cause the valve to rupture.
DANGER
Maximum hydraulic output
Section 4.6 of the datasheet shows the operating limit curves for each type of spools.
The hydraulic performance is provided as the product of the working pressure and the flow rate. If the instant
power exceeds the curve limit, the valve may lose function and as a result, control of the appliance will be lost.
WARNING
Valve installation
The valve may only be mounted in the corresponding cavity. The seals must not be damaged. The valve
must be tightened with the specified tightening torque of 35+5 Nm. Otherwise, there is a risk of leakage
of the working fluid and pressure release of the valve. (For more details, see paragraph 7.2 Product installation)
CAUTION
Maximum operating temperature
The maximum operating temperature must not exceed the temperature range allowed in paragraph 4.4 Basic
technical parameters or in the datasheet. Both the temperature of the operating fluid and the ambient tempera-
ture significantly influence:
a) the surface temperature of the valve
b) the temperature of the solenoid coil winding - there is a risk of a reduction in hydraulic performance
c) the seal material - risk of seal damage and leakage of the working fluid.
CAUTION
Surface temperature of the valve
The surface temperature of the valve can exceed 100 °C due to the temperature of the working fluid and pressure
loss in the valve being converted to heat. Do not touch the surface of the valve when the circuit is operational,
even after switching off. Wait until it has cooled down to a safe temperature. There is a risk of burns.
CAUTION
Working fluids used
Valves may only be used for normal working fluids, especially hydraulic oils (see chapter 4. Product description).
It is forbidden to use the following as working fluids, in particular:
› water and aquesous solutions that will cause corrosion and loss of valve function
› liquids which are flammable or explosive, the heating of which may cause fire or explosion when
passing through the valve
› aggresive liquids (e.g. acids and hydroxides) which will cause damage to the valve and loss of function.
The flash point of the used working fluid must be at least 50 K higher than the maximum allowed of surface
temperature of the valve in the given temperature class.
DANGER
Electrical shock
The solenoid coil is an electrical device that should be connected by a person with appropriate electrical
qualifications. Before connecting the solenoid, check the parameters of the power supply, the integrity of the
cable and the solenoid. There is a threat of electrical shock.
CAUTION
Electrical supply values
The solenoid coil is energised by the electrical current passing through the winding. The values of the electrical
supply must not exceed the values indicated on the coil. There is a risk of losing solenoid function.
3.3 Risks associated with the electrical part of the valve
The hydraulic part of the valve consists of a steel housing (A) with radial port outputs (2, 3, 4) and axial output (1).
A hardened slide spool moves inside the housing and is held in its basic position by a return spring. The spool is adjusted to the extreme position by
means of an explosion-proof certified solenoid (B). The solenoid coil is fixed to the control system by a hexagonal nut (C).
The thread adapter (D) with an optional thread is used to connect the power cable, e.g. using a suitable cable gland.

An overview of possible valve modifications is described in the ordering code.
The number of spool positions, the spool connection and the type of manual override and the electrical parameters of the coil cannot be subsequently
changed by the user. In the case of a valve with a 10 W coil, the coil surface temperature and the application for the temperature class can be affected
by adjusting the ambient temperature (see 4.4 Ambient temperature range for each class).

The mounting position of the valve is arbitrary. However, if vibrations or shocks are applied to the valve during operation, they must not be applied in
the direction of the spool axis.
7. Operating instructions broken down by product life stage
7.1 Transportation and storage of the product
7.2 Installation of the product
CAUTION
Slippery valve surface
The valve contains a small amount of residual oil after a hydraulic function test carried out by the manufacturer.
If the surface of the unpacked valve is contaminated with oil, remove the oil using a cleaning cloth. A slippery
valve surface can cause the valve to fall during handling and cause minor injury or damage to the valve.
7.2.1 Electrical connection of coils
When connecting the coil power cable, proceed as follows:
› Use a “d” certified cable to connect the coils to the power supply. When selecting the cable structure and outer diameter, follow the
manufacturer’s recommendations for the certified cable gland used.
(The cable gland is not included with the valve.)
› Use a cable and cable gland with sufficient insulation temperature rating.
For a 10 W coil, the insulation temperature class must be 35 °C
higher than the maximum allowable ambient temperature
for that temperature class.
› The cable should be sufficiently protected against damage with respect to environmental conditions, e.g. resistant to mechanical damage or
chemical attack.
› The design of the coil casing allows the connection of the power cable from the vertical or horizontal direction depending on which hole in the casing
the thread adapter with external thread M36x1 is screwed into.
› Thread adapter with M20x1.5 female thread or with ½ NPT ANSI tapered female thread can be selected.
› The second hole in the casing is closed with a plug after the wires are mounted to the coil terminal.
› The thread adapter and plug are sealed in the casing with a VQM silicone rubber O-ring.
› The thread adapter and closing plug are protected against loosening after assembly by screwing in the M3x4 grub screws in the radial direction.
WARNING
Sealing ring
During assembly, the ring must not be damaged or the part must
not be mounted without the sealing ring.
There is a risk of explosion.

› The user must protect the electrical circuit of the solenoid with a fuse with a tripping characteristic corresponding to the slow fuse wire
blowing. The fuse tripping current shall be IN≤ 3x IG, where IGis the current flowing through the solenoid coil at the maximum coil
temperature. (For IGvalues, see the coil electrical parameter table.) Conductors and elements shall be used for the fuse circuit that are
rated for a higher electric current than the maximum short-circuit current in the customer‘s equipment circuit.
› If elements of the electrical installation, including the fuse, are also located in a potentially explosive atmosphere, these elements must also have
the appropriate degree of protection.

Ground wire
Coil power supply
When connecting the coil power cable, proceed as follows:
› Using the inbus wrench A/F 10, loosen and unscrew the steel plug on the top surface of the coil housing to gain access to the terminal block inside
the housing. Do not damage the plug seal.
› Disassemble the cable gland into its individual parts. Strip the end of the cable and thread the cable successively through all parts of the gland, the
thread adapter and the horizontal or vertical hole in the coil casing (depending on the direction of cable feed).
› Strip the ends of the wires and plug them into the terminal block (see picture below).
› Screw the thread adapter into the coil casing and tighten it to a torque of 30±5 Nm using a wrench A/F 27.
› Screw the part of the cable gland to be screwed into the thread adapter and tighten to the torque specified by the manufacturer.
› Assemble the cable gland according to the manufacturer’s instructions so that the cable is sufficiently secured against pulling out by external force
and displacement by gases in the event of an explosion in the inner space of the coil casing. The inner space of the coil casing must be sufficiently
sealed.
› Fit a steel plug with seal into the free hole in the coil casing and tighten it to the specified torque of 30±5 Nm using an inbus wrench A/F 10.
Secure the position of the thread adapter and the steel plug against loosening with M3x4 grub screws and tighten them to a torque of 0.4±0.1
Nm using an inbus wrench A/F 1.5 mm.
› After mounting the valve, the surface of the coil must be grounded by connecting the ground wire to the terminal on the top surface of the coil
casing using an M5x10 screw. Tighten the screw to a tightening torque of 2.2±0.2 Nm using an 8 mm wide screwdriver.
Connecting the wires to the terminal block:
› Remove the insulation from the end of the cable so that when the cable is fixed in the cable gland, the insulated part of the cable sufficiently
extends into the inner space of the terminal block.
› Strip the ends of the wires to a length of 5 to 6 mm.
Release the clamp by pressing the lever against the spring in the direction of the arrow and insert a wire with a cross section of 0.5 to 1.5 mm2.
Releasing the lever secures the wire. The right clamp is for the earth wire.
› Make sure that the conductors are sufficiently secured in the clamps and are not in danger of loosening.
Power fuse protection
DANGER
Correct electrical connection of coils
Pay attention to the correct fixing of the wires in the terminal box, the correct fixing and sealing
of the thread adapter, the steel stopping plug and the cable in the cable gland. There is a risk of explosion.
DANGER
Coil surface grounding
If the surface of the coil and thus the entire valve is not grounded, an electrical discharge of static electricity
may occur.

Note:
Associated tools for production of cavities can be ordered from the valve manufacturer (SMT catalogue 0019).
Drawings of the cavities are also available in the same catalogue.
Procedure for connecting the valve to the hydraulic circuit:
Unscrew the coil nut (5) by turning it counterclockwise. Remove the coil seal ring (4) and coil (3) from the actuating system.
The valve (1) is mounted in the cavity without the coil to prevent the valve from tightening in the cavity. Before inserting the valve into the cavity in
the block, ensure that undamaged seals are fitted to the valve housing. Also verify that the valve and cavity surfaces are not damaged or
contaminated. Before installing the valve, we recommend lightly lubricate the housing seals with grease or working fluid. Using slight pressure,
carefully insert the valve into the cavity and turn it clockwise to screw it in by hand. Then tighten the valve to 35+5 Nm, using a torque wrench
A/F 27. Place the coil (3), coil seal (4) and fixing nut (5) back on the valve actuating system.
Orient the coil by turning it on the actuating system so that the cable outlet points in the required direction and secure the position of the coil by
tightening the nut clockwise with a torque wrench A/F 32 to 5+1 Nm.
