Start-up
The work described in this section is only to
be performed by personnel appropriately
qualified to carry out such tasks.
Risk of burn injuries due to hot or cold com-
ponents and pipeline.
Valve components and the pipeline may be-
come very hot or cold. Risk of burn injuries.
Î
Allow components and pipelines to cool
down or warm up to the ambient tem-
perature.
Î
Wear protective clothing and safety
gloves.
Risk of hearing loss or deafness due to loud
noise.
Noise emission (e.g. cavitation or flashing)
may occur during operation caused by the
process medium and the operating condi-
tions. Additionally, a brief loud noise may
occur through the sudden venting of the
pneumatic actuator (see 'Fail-safe position')
or pneumatic valve accessories not fitted with
noise-reducing fittings. Both can damage
hearing.
Î
Wear hearing protection when working
near the valve.
Crush hazard arising from moving parts
(actuator and plug or piston stem).
Î
Do not insert hands or finger into the
yoke while the air supply is connected to
the actuator.
Î
Before working on the control valve,
disconnect and lock the pneumatic air
supply as well as the control signal.
Î
Do not impede the movement of the
actuator and plug or piston stem by
inserting objects into the yoke.
Î
Before unblocking the actuator and plug
or piston stem after they have become
blocked (e.g. due to seizing up after re-
maining in the same position for a long
time), release any stored energy in the
actuator (e.g. spring compression). See
associated actuator documentation.
Risk of personal injury due to exhaust air
being vented.
While the valve is operating, air is vented
from the actuator, for example, during
closed-loop operation or when the valve
opens or closes.
Î
Wear eye protection when working in
close proximity to the control valve.
Before start-up or putting the valve back into
service, make sure the following conditions
are met:
− The valve is properly installed into the
pipeline (see the 'Installation' section).
