 Safety Advice

3 Safety Advice

Depending on the technical circumstances and the time under and at which the armatures and
valves are mounted, adjusted and commissioned, you must take into account particular safety
aspects in each case!

If, for example, a pneumatic actuator works a slide in an operational chemical plant, the potential
hazards of commissioning have another dimension from that when this is only being carried out for
test purposes an a „dry“ part of the plant in the assembly room!

Since we do not know the circumstances at the time of the mounting/adjustment/commissioning,

you may find advices on hazards in the following descriptions which are not relevant to you.

Please observe (only) the advices which applies to your situation!

3.1 Personal safety

3.1.1 Safety advices for mounting

We wish to point out expressly that the mounting, adjusting and at accessories the pneumatical
and eletrical installation of the armatures and valves must be carried out by trained specialist
personnel having mechanical, pneumatical and electrical knowledge!

Secure that the machine / plant come up to the Machinery Directice after the mounting and instal-
ling of the armatures and valves.

Switch off all the devices / machines / plant affected by mounting or repair.
If appropriate, isolate the devices / machines / plant from the mains.

Check (for example in chemical plants) whether the switching off of devices / machines / plant
will cause potential danger.

If appropriate, in the event of a fault in the armature / valve (in a plant which is in operation)
inform the shift forman / safety engineer or the works manager without delay about the fault, in
order, for example, to avoid an outflow / overflow of chemicals or the discharge of gases in good
time by means of suitable measures!

Before mounting or repairing, remove the pressure from pneumatic / hydraulic devices / machi-
nes / plant.

If necessary, set up warning signs in order to prevent the inadvertent starting up of the devices /
machines / plant.

Observe the respective relevant professional safety and accident prevention regulations when
carrying out the mounting / repair work.

Check the correct functioning of the safety equipment (for example the emergency push off but-
tons/ safety valves, etc)!

3.1.2 Safety advice for adjustment / starting

As a result of the starting (pneumactic, electric or by hand) of the armatures and valves the flow
of gases, steam, liquids, etc. may be enabled or interrupted! Satisfy yourself that, as a result of
the starting or the test adjustment no potential hazards will be produced for the personnel or the
environment!

13.11.02 http://www.end.de 7
Safety Advice

If necessary, set up warning signs in order to prevent the inadvertent starting up or shutting down
of the device / machine / plant.!

By ending the adjustment check the correct function and should the occasion arise the position
of the slide / valve / flap.

Check the function of the limit switches (option)!

Check, whether the slide / valve / flap will be closed totally, if the control signals the appropriate
limit stop!

Through suitable measures, prevent links being trapped by moving actuating elements!

Check the right function of all safety devices (for example emergency push off buttons / safety
valves)!

Carry out the starting and the adjustments only in accordance with the instructions discribed in
this documentation!

Adjusting switch on armatures and valves with options (e.g. actuators, solenoid valves, limit
switches) there is the risk that live parts (230 V AC~) can be touched!
Therefore the adjustments must be carried out only by the electrican or a person having adequate
training, who is aware of the potntial hazard!

3.1.3 Safety advice for maintaining / repairing

Do not carry out any maintenances / repairs if the armature / valve will be under pressure.

Before disassembling or a armature or valve some essential points should be clarified!

• Will the armature/valve to be disassembled be replaced by another immediately?
• If appropriate, does the production process of the plant needed to be stopped?
• Is it necessary to inform specific personnel about the disassmbly?

If necessary, inform the shift foreman/ safety engineer or the manager about the maintenance
or repair without delay in order, for example, to avoid an outflow/ overflow of chemicals or a
discharge of gases in good time by means of suitable measures!

Observe that some valves / armatures are able to enclose the pressured medium e.g. the ball
in the ball valve. You have to relieve the pressure in the pipes in which the armture/valve is
mounted.

Switch off pilot pressure and the power supply and relieve the pressure in the pipes.

If necessary set up warning signs in order to prevent

• the inadvertent starting up of the devices/machines/plants in which the armature/
valve is mounted
• the switching on of pilot medium supply, pilot power supply and/or the power supply
of actuators and accessories.

In case of defect in the armature/valve make contact to the supplier. The telephone number will
be found on the back cover of these mounting and installation manual.

 Safety Advice

If you ascertain a damage of the armature/valve, isolate the device from the mains. Please
observe the safefy advices.

Do not mount, start or adjust the armature/valve if itself, the pipes or a mounted actuator will be
damaged.

After the maintenance or repair check the right function of the armature/valve and the tightness
of the pipe connections.

Also check the function of the accessories e.g. actuators, limit switches, etc.

3.2 Device safety

The armatures/valves
• are quality products which are produced in accordance to the recognized industrial
regulations.
• left the manufacturer`s work in a perfect safety condition.

In order to maintain this condition, as installer / user you must carry out your task in accordance
with the description in these instructions, technically correctly and with the greatest possible
precision .

We assume, as a trained specialist you are having mechanical and electrical knowledge!

Satisfy yourself that the armatures/vales will only be used within their admissible limiting value
(see the technical data) .

The armatures/valves must be used only for a purpose corresponding to their construction!

The armatures/valves must be used within the values specified in the technical data!

The operating of the armature/valve outside the nominal temperature range could destroy the
sealings and the bearings.

The operating of the armatures/valves outside the nominal pressure range could destroy the inner
parts and the body.

Never remove a cap or a other component part if the armature/valve will be under pressure.

Do not mount, start or adjust the armature/valve if itself, the pipes or a mounted actuator will be
damaged.

After the maintenance or repair check the right function of the armature/valve and the tightness
of the pipe connections.

Also check the function of the accessories e.g. actuators, limit switches, etc.

5.1 General

Before you are mount, adjust, start, operate or disassemble a y-strainer you must
have read the

Safety advice

If you have not read the safety advices until now please read these important advices now and
turn back to this point.

5.2 Corresponding use

Y-strainer are used to strain pollution out of the media. The efficiency dependents on the diameter
of the mesh.
It should only be used media on which the material of the y-strainer will be resistant. Using outside
the nominal pressure range and/or the nominal temperature range should causes damages on the
armature especially on the seals.

5.3 Operation

Y-strainer need no special operation. Only the mesh have to been clean in periodical terms, respec-
tively the mesh have to been exchange (please refer to chapter 5.5 “Maintenance“).

5.4 Mounting / Disassembly

The mechanical mounting is identical in all variants. It differs only by the type of connection.

Observe the flow direction which is specified on the valve body. The installation of the screw joint
should take place downwards, that the pollution will fall out of the body by the cleaning of the y-
strainer.

We recommend the installation of a gate valve in front and behind the y-strainer, to clean the mesh
without emtyning of the divice.

Remove all transport safety devices (e.g. plugs or caps). Observe that there won`t be any parts of
the package or other pollution in the armature.

Before mounting the y-strainer clean up the pipes. Pollution will reduce the safety and the duration
of life of the valve.

Avoid stress on the body by non align pipes.
