2.4
Unauthorized modification and spare part production
Modification or changes of the valve are only allowed after agreement of the manufacturer. Original
drawings and accessories authorized by the manufacturer are for safety purposes. The use of other
parts or unauthorized constructive changes at the valve by third persons may cancel and abolish the
manufacturere’s liability for resulting consequences.
2.5 Unauthorized
operation
Operational reliability of the delivered valve is only guaranteed in case of determined use in
accordance to paragraph 1 of the operating manual.
The application limits mentioned on the type
sign may on no account be exceeded.
2.6
Safety information for the use in explosion-prone areas guideline 94/9/EC
The temperature of the medium must not exceed the respective temperature class, and
respectively, the respective maximum permitted medium temperature as per operation
guideline.
If the valve is heated (e.g. heating jacket), care must be taken, that the specified temperature
class is kept in the time.
The valve must be connected to the ground.
In the case most simple this can be realized via pipe screws by means of tooth disc.
Otherwise the connection to the ground must be implemented by other measures e.g. cable
links.
Control valves, electrical and electrical/mechanical drives as well as sensors must undergo a
separate conformity check as per ATEX. In doing so the respective safety and explosion
protection information in the operation instructions are to taken into special consideration.
Any modifications whatsoever to the valve are not allowed. The ATEX approval is void with
immediate effect if the valve is modified without prior authorisation (even including painting).
UNI-Geräte GmbH must be consulted before any modifications are made.
Furthermore we point out the guideline 95/C332/06(ATEX 118a), which include the minimum
regulations for the improvement of the health-related situation and the safety of the employees, who
might be jeopardized by an explosive atmosphere.
3.0 Handling
3.1 Transport
For any transport works, the generally recognised technical rules and standards as well as rules for
prevention of accidents must be observed.
In case of transport, storage and stopping, the flange protection caps must be mounted at both valve
flanges.
The goods to be transported must be carefully treated. During transport, the valve must be protected
against strokes, impacts or vibration. The coat of lacquer may not be damaged. Transport temperature
is –20°C up to +60°C.
Never transport the valve at screwed cable glands, appliance plugs or add-on units.
The valve
can be transported at ring nuts, flange borings or by means of a belt under the solenoid drive.
Transport the valve in a case or on a pallet with smooth base and put it softly on plain floor.
Never put
the valve on limit switch box.
The goods must be checked on completeness and transport damage. See also section 9.0
