Logistics
Transport
Protect the unit from external forces (blows, shocks,
vibration).
Transport temperature:
VAx: -20 to +60°C (-4 to +140°F),
VBY: 0 to +60°C (32 to 140°F).
The ambient conditions described apply to transport.
Report any transport damage on the unit or packag-
ing without delay.
Check that the delivery is complete, see page 2
(Part designations).
Storage
Storage temperature:
VAx: -20 to +40°C (-4 to +104°F),
VBY: 0 to +40°C (32 to 104°F).
Storage is subject to the ambient conditions
described.
Storage time: 6 months in the original packaging
before using for the first time. If stored for longer than
this, the overall service life will be reduced by the
corresponding amount of extra storage time.
Packaging
The packaging material is to be disposed of in ac-
cordance with local regulations.
Disposal
Components are to be disposed of separately in
accordance with local regulations.

SIL, PL
The devices VAD/VAG/VAV/VAH 1 – 3 are suitable for
single-channel systems (HFT = 0) up to SIL 2/PL d, and
up to SIL 3/PL e when two redundant solenoid valves
are installed in a double-channel architecture (HFT = 1),
provided that the complete system complies with the
requirements of EN 61508/ISO 13849. The safety func-
tion value which is actually achieved is derived by taking
all components into account (sensor – logic – actua-
tor). For this, the demand rate and structural measures
to avoid/detect nonconformity are to be observed (e.g.
redundancy, diversity, monitoring).
Characteristic values for SIL/PL: HFT = 0 (1 device),
HFT = 1 ( devices), SFF > 90, DC = 0, type A/catego-
ry B, 1, , 3, 4, high demand mode, CCF > 65, β ≥ .
