3.2 - INSTALLATION
(see example in 3.4)
• Assemble the device by screwing it, with the due seals, onto the plant with pipes and/or fittings with the right threading for
the connection being attached.
• Do not use the coil (
3
) as a lever to help you screw it on, only use the specific tool;
• The arrow, shown on the body (
11
) of the device, needs to be pointing towards the application;
• The device can also be installed vertically without prejudicing the correct operation. It cannot be put in
upside down (with the reset knob (
1
) pointing downwards);
• During installation, avoid debris or metal residues from getting into the device;
• To guarantee mechanical tension-free assembly, we recommend using compensating joints, which also
adjust to the pipe’s thermal dilation;
• If the device is to be installed in a ramp, it is the installer’s responsibility to provide suitable supports or correctly sized
supports, to properly hold and secure the assembly. Never, for any reason whatsoever, leave the weight of the ramp only on
the connections (flanged or threaded) of the individual devices;
• In any case, following installation, check the tightness of the plant;
• ATTENTION:
The coil is provided with a 3m long power supply cable (
4
). This cable
CANNOT
be replaced with a
different one. In the event of damage, the part (coil) must be disposed of and replaced with an identical new one; Any repair
(if possible) can only be carried out by the manufacturer;
• In the dangerous zone, wire the ends of the cable with explosion-proof approved equipment (E.g. Terminal box with “E”
protection or increased safety according to EN 60079-7) using the special wire terminals;
• Cable colours
Phase : brown (alternatively black or grey)
Neutral : blue
: yellow/green
• Make sure the connection cables are inserted correctly into the electrical terminal, ensuring they are not crushed and/or
damaged in order to prevent short circuits and interferences.
• Provide a fixed installation ensuring adequate protection against mechanical stress;
• The valve needs to be connected to earth either through the pipe or through other means (e.g. cable jumpers).
Special conditions for safe use
The “X” symbol (positioned at the end of the protection mode) indicates particular conditions of use:
• Clean the product regularly with an antistatic cloth to prevent dust from building up and the formation of electrostatic charges;
• The valve must be installed in places at a low risk of mechanical impact;
• Minimum bending radius of the cable = 4 Ø; minimum installation temperature -35°C;
• The equipment must be protected against the effect of lightning discharges;
• Keep ambient humidity under control to minimise the formation of electrostatic charges;
• Protect the coil from direct air draughts that could cause the accumulation of electrostatic charges;
• Touch only with an electrically insulated object.
• Sparks caused by impact or friction on light metals can cause sources of ignition, therefore tools with corroded surfaces must
not be used under any circumstances (e.g. for adjustments, maintenance, etc.);
• Protect the product from impact or friction caused by other objects;
• Do not install in environments where the product is in direct contact with corrosive gases, chemicals, salt water, water or
steam (C3 or medium degree of environmental pollution). Contact the technical department for any other application, for
the compatibility analysis;
3.3 - INSTALLATION IN PLACES WHERE THERE IS THE RISK OF EXPLOSION (DIRECTIVE 2014/34/EU)
The solenoid valve complies with Directive 2014/34/EU as a device of group II, category 3G and as device of group II, category
3D; consequently, it is suited for installation in zones 2 and 22 as classified in Annex I of Directive 99/92/EC. The solenoid
valve is
NOT
suitable for use in zones1, 21, 0 and 20, as defined in aforementioned Directive 99/92/EC. To determine the
qualification and size of the hazardous zones, please refer to standard IEC EN 60079-10-1.
If installed and subject to maintenance in full compliance with all conditions and technical instructions provided in this manual, the
device does not pose a source of specific hazards: in particular, under conditions of normal operation, it is not expected for the
solenoid valve to emit a flammable substance into the atmosphere with methods such as to originate an explosive atmosphere.
During installation and maintenance, it is imperative to comply with the Ex standards, in particular EN 60079-14. Electrical
installation must be carried out by authorised personnel in accordance with relative national regulations.
