Installation

7.1

Pneumatic installation (in-line valve)

1. Remove the covers from the supply ports.
2. Connect the compressed air port (1) and the working air port (2) with tubing

è

 Fig. 2.

3. Fit a silencer at the exhaust air port (3) or install an exhaust air duct 

è

 Fig. 2.

Operating medium

NOTICE

Too much residual oil content in the compressed air will reduce the service life of
the valve.
• When using bio-oils (oils that are based on synthetic ester or native ester,

e.g. rapeseed oil methyl ester), the maximum residual oil content of 0.1 mg/m³
must not be exceeded (ISO 8573-1:2010 [–:–:2]).

7.2

Electrical installation

WARNING

Risk of injury due to electric shock.
• For the electrical power supply, use only PELV circuits in accordance with IEC

60204-1/EN 60204-1 (Protective Extra-Low Voltage, PELV).

• Observe the general requirements of IEC 60204-1/EN 60204-1 for PELV circuits.
• Only use voltage sources that ensure a reliable electric separation from the

mains network in accordance with IEC 60204-1/EN 60204-1.

NOTICE

Malfunction due to impaired immunity to interference
Long signal lines reduce the immunity to interference.
• Use the shortest possible signal lines.

NOTICE

• The connector must not be twisted out of the intended position.
• The tightening torque of the M12 plug socket with cable must not exceed

0.5 Nm.

NOTICE

If the Y-connecting cable type NEBV-M12G8-KD-..-M12G5 is connected to CPX I/O
modules, galvanic isolation of the I/O modules will not be guaranteed.

1. Use the rating plate to check which valve variant is involved.

Valve variant

VPPM-...-V1...

VPPM-...-A4...

Voltage variant

0 … 10 V DC

Current variant

4 … 20 mA

2. Lay the electrical connection cable without crushing, kinking or stretching it.
3. If a shielded electrical connection cable is used, earth the shield at the end of

the cable remote from the valve.

4. Wire the VPPM-... according to the corresponding plug pattern.
