5.3.2.2 Travel limit for the “actuator stem re-
tracts - fail-open” principle of opera-
tion
Figure | 5-3: Assembly situation, travel limit for “fail-open”
The mechanical travel limit for fail-open action is implemented by
two lock nuts (24) that are
fi t outside of the stem (12).
The nuts (24) are secured with a safety distance of approx. 2mm
from the top of the stuf
fi ng box (19).
Theoretical travel (SAMSON actuator) 15 +0.5 to 1 mm
5.3.2.3 Actuator travel limit
In some cases, a travel limit is required for the actuator. Details
about the travel limit can be found in the corresponding actuator
documentation.

60 cm², see the Installation and Operating Manual

5.4 Installing the valve in the pipe
5.4.1 General
Damage to the lined valve surface due to improper transport
and installation!
Before and during installation, the lined surfaces can be dam-
aged and must be speci
fi cally protected.
Ö
Transport the valve in its original packaging to the installation
site and unpack it only there.
Ö
Handle the valve with care and observe the instructions for
the
fl ange connection.
Damage to the plastic lined surfaces on the body due to
improper installation!
Ö
The use of PTFE fl ange seals is recommended.
Ö
The counter fl anges must have smooth sealing surfaces.
Ö
Other shapes must be agreed upon with PFEIFFER.
Ö
Inspect the valve and actuator for transport damage. Dam-
aged valves or actuators may not be installed.
Ö
A functional test is to be carried out at the beginning of in-
stallation only for manually-operated valves: The valve must
close and open correctly. Detected malfunctions must be
fi xed
before commissioning. See also chapter 8 “Faults”.
Danger due to exceeding the limits of use!
Exceeding the limits of use can pose a danger to the user and
cause damage to the pipe system.
Ö
No valve may be installed whose permissible pressure/tem-
perature range is not suf
fi cient for the operating conditions.
Ö
The max. permissible limits of use are marked on the valve,
see Chapter “2 Markings on the device”.
Ö
The permissible range is de fi ned in Chapter “1 Safety instruc-
tions and safety measures”.
Ö
Make sure that only valves are installed whose pressure class-
es, connection type (
fl ow rate), type of lining and connection
dimensions match the conditions of use. See the correspond-
ing marking on the valve.
