Designed lifetime
This information on the designed lifetime is based on
using the product in accordance with these operating
instructions. Once the designed lifetime has been
reached, safety-relevant products must be replaced.

Logistics
Transport
Protect the unit from external forces (blows, shocks,
vibration).
Transport temperature: see page 13 (Technical
Transport is subject to the ambient conditions de-
scribed.
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: see page 13 (Technical data).
Storage is subject to the ambient conditions de-
scribed.
Storage time: 6 months 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 solenoid valves VAS 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
function value which is actually achieved is derived
by taking all components into account (sensor – logic
– actuator). 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 de-
vice), HFT = 1 ( devices), SFF > 90, DC = 0,
type A/category B, 1, , , 4, high demand mode,
CCF > 65, β ≥ .
