2.2  SIL LEVEL
The SIL level of the stand-alone solenoid valve is SIL 2; when two solenoids are installed in series and the relative leak test
(Valve Proving System), certified according to EN 1643, the achieved level is SIL 3, as set forth in EN 676:2008. The solenoid
valve has PL d level. For further data refer to the SIL LEVEL table (table 3).
3.0  COMMISSIONING THE DEVICE
3.1  OPERATIONS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
• It is necessary to close the gas upstream of the valve prior to installation;
• Make sure that the line pressure
DOES NOT EXCEED the maximum pressure declared on the product label;
• Any protective caps (if any) must be removed prior to installation;
• Valve pipes and insides must be clear of any foreign bodies;
If the device is threaded:
make sure that the pipe thread is not too long, to prevent damaging the body of the device when screwing it on;
If the device is flanged:
• make sure the inlet and outlet counter-flanges are perfectly coaxial and parallel in order to prevent unnecessary
mechanical stress to the body. Also calculate the space to insert the seal gasket;
• With regard to tightening operations, equip yourself with one or two calibrated torque wrenches or other controlled
locking tools;
• The safety regulations on handling loads in force in the country of installation must be complied with. If the device to
be installed exceeds the weight allowed, suitable mechanical equipment and adequate slings must be used. Necessary
precautions must be taken during the handling phases so as not to damage/ruin the external surface of the device;
• In accordance with EN 161 a suitable filter must be installed upstream of a gas closing safety device;
• With outdoor installation, it is advisable to provide a protective roof to prevent rain from damaging the electrical parts of
the device;
• Prior to carrying out any electrical wiring operations, make sure that the mains voltage matches the supply voltage indicated
on the product label;
• Cut out power prior to proceeding with wiring;
• According to the plant geometry, check the risk of explosive mixture arising inside the piping;
• If the solenoid valve is installed near other devices or as part of an assembly, compatibility between the solenoid
valve and this other device must be evaluated beforehand;
• Avoid installing the solenoid valve near surfaces that could be damaged by the coil temperature;
• Provide a protection against impacts or accidental contacts if the solenoid valve is accessible to unqualified
personnel.
