6. Service, Repair, and Maintenance
f The CC4 valve is not field repairable. Do not attempt to adjust or repair the valve.
In case of technical problems or a required repair, please contact your local ROSS
representative. If used properly, the C
will not require maintenance. Unless otherwise required, ROSS
performing a functional and leackage test at least once a month (see 8.1 Test
Procedure).
7. Assembly and Installation
Risk of injury due to installation while pressurized or with live parts!
Installation while pressurized or with electrical power switched on can result in injuries
due to sudden pressure build-up or electric shock.
f De-energize and de-pressurize the relevant system parts before installing the valves.
f Secure the system to prevent it being switched back on again.
Destruction of components!
Chemical substances can damage the surface, the markings and the sealsof the device.
f Install the valve such that it is protected against the effects of chemicals.
Damage to the device through storage at incorrect temperatures!
The storage temperature represents the permissible ambient temperature and depends
on the type of valve in question.
f Observe the temperature information in chapter 10 "Technical Data."
7.1. Mechanical Installation
Secure the valve using the through holes in the valve base. Refer to pattern for the
required dimensions, see dimensional drawings on page 2.
7.2. Pneumatic Installation
Connect the compressed air supply to port 1. Connect port 2 and port 4 to the
downstream portion of the circuit.
7.3. Pneumatic and Electrical Connections
Electrical connections to the solenoids and sensors are made via two male M12
receptacles for the solenoids and one female M12 receptacle for the sensors. Mating
connectors and cables are sold separately. The cables and cable connections as
well as the electrical control for the CC4 valve must comply with the applicable safety
regulations.
8. Commissioning and Operation
Damage to health due to loud noise!
Levels above 70 dB(A) may lead to damage to health!
f Always wear ear protectors when working on the product.
Before commissioning, the installation must be carefully inspected by a qualified,
trained professional.
Make sure that the technical specifications match the operating criteria of the machine
and/or the pneumatic system.
Always set the compressed air supply to a level that ensures that the minimum
operating pressure is adhered to (see section 10 Technical Specifications).

8.1. Test Procedure
Use this test procedure to confirm valve and sensor function, and also for leak detection.
The test procedure below assumes all pressure is removed from the system and all
solenoids are de-energized prior to beginning the procedure. This Test Procedure is
intended for use with the "Application example" as shown on page 2.
Steps 1 – 11 are to confirm normal valve and sensor function.
Steps 12 – 20 are to confirm valve and sensor function during fault conditions as well
as to detect leakage during fault conditions.
All steps of the test should be performed with successful results prior to commissioning
the machine. The test steps 12 - 20 for faulted leakage testing should be performed
periodically as determined by the user's risk assessment. ROSS Controls suggests
this should be at least once per month.

®
* Pressure may be less than full line pressure because the cylinder was in motion prior to
de-energizing the solenoids. While the valve is energized, one cylinder port is pressurized
and the other is being exhausted. Once the valve is de-energized and back in the center,
all-ports-blocked, position the cylinder will continue moving long enough to equalize
