Magnetic relief valve, open when de-energized, for the
monitoring of gas valves for tightness used in conjunc-
tion with a visual discharge unit. For purging excess
or leakage gas.
This function is only guaranteed when used within the
specified limits – see page 6 (9 Technical data). Any
other use is considered as non-compliant.

3 InstALLAtIon
CAUtIon
Incorrect installation
Please observe the following to ensure that the
magnetic relief valve is not damaged during instal-
lation and operation:
– Sealing material and dirt, e.g. thread cuttings,
must not be allowed to get into the valve
housing.
– A filter must be installed upstream of every
system.
– Dropping the device can cause permanent
damage. In this event, replace the entire device
and associated modules before use.
– Do not clamp the unit in a vice. Only secure the
flange by holding the octagon with a suitable
spanner. Risk of external leakage.
– Solenoid valves with closed position indicator
VAN..S or VAN..G: actuator cannot be rotated.
➔
Install the unit in the pipe free of mechanical stress.
➔
Installation position: black solenoid actu-
ator in the vertical upright position or tilt-
ed up to the horizontal, not upside down.
➔
The housing must not be in contact with masonry,
minimum clearance 20 mm (0.79").

WARnInG
Risk of injury!
Please observe the following to ensure that no
damage occurs:
– Electric shocks can be fatal! Before working on
possible live components, ensure the unit is
disconnected from the power supply.
– The solenoid actuator heats up during
operation. Surface temperature approx. 85°C
(approx. 185°F).
➔
Use temperature-resistant cable (> 80°C).
