Safety instructions
Hazardous situations during installation can be avoided by safety-conscious and
proactive behaviour of the personnel.
For installation, the following principles apply:
•
Only qualified personnel are allowed to set-up, install and commission the
component.
•
Ensure that adequate working and traffic areas are available at the place of
installation.
•
Observe the maximum load-bearing capacity of the installation surface.
•
Observe the transport instructions and markings on the part(s) to be
transported.
•
Remove any nails protruding from transport crates immediately after opening
the crate.
•
Under no circumstances should anyone stand under a suspended load.
•
Safety devices of the component may not work effectively during installation.
•
Reliably secure sections of the plant which have already been connected
against inadvertently being switched on.
6.2
Notes on installation
The mixproof butterfly valve ECOspace should be installed in horizontal pipes,
with the actuator in vertically upright position; in special applications the actuator
can also be installed at a 30° tilt.
To prevent damage, make sure that
•
the mixproof butterfly valve is installed in the pipe system free of tension.
•
no foreign materials (e.g. tools, bolts, lubricants) are left in the system.
•
with all pneumatic actuators that are used in a vertical pipe, the brackets are
facing upwards.
