1 Safety instructions and measures
Intended use
The SAMSON Type 3244 Three-way Valve in combination with an actuator, e.g. Type 3271
or Type 3277 Pneumatic Actuator, is designed as a mixing or diverting valve for use in pro-
cess engineering and industrial applications. The valve with its actuator is designed to oper-
ate under exactly defined conditions (e.g. operating pressure, process medium, temperature).
Therefore, operators must ensure that the control valve is only used in operating conditions
that meet the specifications used for sizing the valve at the ordering stage. In case operators
intend to use the control valve in other applications or conditions than specified, contact
SAMSON.
SAMSON does not assume any liability for damage resulting from the failure to use the de-
vice for its intended purpose or for damage caused by external forces or any other external
factors.

Qualifications of operating personnel
The control valve must be mounted, started up, serviced and repaired by fully trained and
qualified personnel only; the accepted industry codes and practices must be observed. Ac-
cording to these mounting and operating instructions, trained personnel refers to individuals
