Requirements for product use
Warning
Depending on the functions of the machine/system, the manipulation of signal
statuses can cause serious injury to human beings and material damage.
· Note that if the switching characteristics of the switching outputs are modi
fied in the EDIT mode, the new status will be effective immediately.
· Activate the password protection (security code) in order to prevent uninten
tional modification by unauthorised third parties (see section 6 under EDIT
mode).
Note
Improper handling can result in malfunctions.
· Make sure that the following specifications are always observed in order to
ensure correct and safe use of the product.
· Compare the limit values specified in these
operating instructions with your actual application
(e.g. operating media, pressures, forces, torques,
temperatures, masses, speeds, voltages).
· Take into consideration the ambient conditions at
the location of use.
· Please comply with national and local safety laws
and regulations.

· Remove all transport packing such as
protective wax, foils (polyamide), caps
(polyethylene), cardboard boxes. The packing
is intended for recycling (except for: oiled
paper = general waste).
· Use the product in its original state. Unauthorised
modification is not permitted.

· Observe the warnings and instructions on the product
and in the relevant operating instructions.
· Ensure that the compressed air is properly prepared
(see section Technical data").
· Pressurise your entire system slowly. This ensures that there will not be any
uncontrolled movements.

Installation
5.1 Mechanical
Note
· Installation and commissioning may only be performed in accordance with the
operating instructions and by qualified personnel.
· Handle the VPPM−...C1 with care so that the electrical connection is not dam
aged. This could lead to an impairment of operational reliability.
· Make sure there is sufficient space for the cable
connection and tube couplings. This prevents the
connecting cable from being bent.
· Place the VPPM−...C1 as near as possible to the
consuming device. This leads to improved control
precision and shorter response times.

Wall mounting (in−line valve)
· Fasten the VPPM−...C1 in the intended position
with two M4 screws. In order to do this use angle
bracket type VAME−P1−A (see diagram). When
mounting the VPPM with the aid of the bracket, the
VPPM−...C1 may only be loaded statically (torque:
1.0 Nm).

H−rail mounting (in−line valve)
· Mount the H−rail adaptor on the VPPM−...C1 using the screws included
(
x
": M4 x 65,
¼
": M4 x 77) (tightening torque approx. 1.5 Nm).
· Hang the VPPM−... onto the H−rail.
· Secure the VPPM...C1 with the retaining screws of the H−rail adapter (tightening
torque 1.5 Nm).

5.3 Electric
Warning
For electrical isolation of operating voltage:
· Use only power sources which guarantee reliable electrical isolation of the
operating voltage as per IEC/DIN EN 60204−1. Observe also the general re
quirements for PELV circuits as per IEC/DIN EN60204−1.
Switched−mode power supplies are permitted, providing they guarantee reli
able isolation in accordance with EN 60950/VDE 0805.
Note
Long signal lines reduce the resistance to interference.
· Make sure that the signal lines are no longer than 10 m.
·
Using the rating plate, check which valve variant you have:

· Check whether the following options are used on
the VPPM−...C1:
Measuring the actual voltage/current value
· Make sure that the cables are not squashed, bent
or stretched:
Fig.13
· Use the pre−assembled plug socket with cable from Festo (for accessories, see
www.festo.com\catalogue). You can then guarantee that the specified protec
tion class IP 65 and EMC are fulfilled.
· If a screened cable is used, earth the screening on the opposite end of the cable
from the VPPM−...C1.
