Safety instructions and measures
Personal protective equipment
We recommend checking the hazards posed by the process medium being used (e.g.
u
GESTIS (CLP) hazardous substances database). Depending on the process medium and/
or the activity, the protective equipment required includes:
− Protective clothing, gloves, eye protection and respiratory protection in applications with
hot, cold and/or corrosive media
− Wear hearing protection when working near the valve
− Hard hat
− Safety harness when working at height
− Safety footwear, ESD (electrostatic discharge) footwear, if necessary
Check with the plant operator for details on further protective equipment.
Revisions and other modifications
Revisions, conversions or other modifications of the product are not authorized by SAMSON.
They are performed at the user's own risk and may lead to safety hazards, for example. Fur-
thermore, the product may no longer meet the requirements for its intended use.
Safety features
The fail-safe position of the control valve upon air supply or control signal failure depends on
the actuator used (see associated actuator documentation). When the valve is combined with
a SAMSON Type 3271 or Type 3277 Pneumatic Actuator, the valve moves to a certain fail-
safe position (see the 'Design and principle of operation' section) upon supply air or control
signal failure. The fail-safe action of the actuator is the same as its direction of action and is
specified on the nameplate of SAMSON actuators.
Warning against residual hazards
To avoid personal injury or property damage, plant operators and operating personnel must
prevent hazards that could be caused in the control valve by the process medium, the operat-
ing pressure, the signal pressure or by moving parts by taking appropriate precautions. Plant
operators and operating personnel must observe all hazard statements, warning and caution
notes in these mounting and operating instructions.
Hazards resulting from the special working conditions at the installation site of the valve must
be identified in a risk assessment and prevented through the corresponding safety instruc-
tions drawn up by the operator.
Î
Observe safety measures for handling the device as well as fire prevention and explosion
protection measures.
