GENERAL SAFETY ADVICE

The valves described in this manual are especially designed to ensure a correct circulation of the flow in all work phases.
Device should be installed in accordance with the specific instructions for each installation. All existing safety legislation should be
respected at all times in order to avoid accidents.
Any modification to the pneumatic actuator requires prior authorisation from the manufacturer. Spare parts and accessories
authorised by the manufacturer are a guarantee of greater safety. The manufacturer of this actuated valve is exempt from all
responsibility for damage arising from unauthorised spare parts and accessories.
The electrical and pneumatic parts of this device will have an electrical current running through them during operation. All work on
the automatic valve and other related equipment should only be carried out after having first disconnected the start up mechanism.
The user should ensure that all assembly and maintenance work is carried out by suitably authorised, qualified personnel, and that
they have previously read the installation and service instructions set out in this manual.
Safe usage of this actuated valve can only be guaranteed by closely following the installation and service instructions set out here.
Voltage and air pressure limits should not be exceeded under any circumstances.
In case of malfunction or breakdown, contact the nearest factory representative or technical assistance service department. Knocks
should be avoided during transport, since they may damage the body and mechanism of the valve.
Store the valve in the original packaging, protected against humidity and direct sunlight.
PNEUMATIC BALL VALVE WARNINGS
The maximum service life of the valve is specified in EN ISO 16135:2007. It is verified on the production plant by aging tests speci-
fied in the standard.
Correct installation and handling of the valve, as well as adherence to the maximum pressure and temperature conditions specified
in this manual are essential for preserving the service life of the valve.
The driven liquid must be compatible with the valve materials. Consult chemical resistance charts published by Cepex or consult
the technical department.
Using tools for opening or closing the manual valve control is not recommended.
Before carrying out any maintenance operations on the pipe or valve, ensure that the system is depressurised by releasing the
pressure and emptying the pipes, following the specific safety regulations of each product.
Before installation, check that the valve is undamaged and that it contains all the parts required for installation.
After long periods of inactivity, check the grease on the o-rings and follow the maintenance instructions set out in this manual. The
grease must be compatible with the valve materials.
It is important to avoid rapid closure of valves to eliminate the possibility of water hammer causing damage to the pipeline.
When using the valve as the final element of a installation, take into account the risks of the liquid and control the pressure and
temperature, according to the standards of safety of each product.
Make all connections following the instruction referring to electrical supply as set out in this manual. Ensure that all cable leading top
the electrovalve are correctly connected.
Should you need to open the box at the end of the run, on closing again, check that it is correctly positioned to avoid any water
contact. Also check that connectors are correctly situated.
At all times, avoid contact, albeit accidental, with the actuated valve's moving parts during operation and/or before it has come to a
complete stop.
Before beginning any electrical or pneumatic maintenance, ensure that the start-up mechanisms are blocked. It is advisable to follow
the following steps before any alteration to the actuated valve:
1.- Disconnect the electrovalve from the mains supply.
2.- Block the pneumatic system's start-up mechanisms.
3.- Make certain that their is no voltage running through the circuits, including the auxiliary circuits and supplementary services.
All the above should be taken as indicative and not directly tied to safety procedure as specific safety norms may be in place in some
cases.
IMPORTANT: As a result of the complexity of the subject, the installation, usage and maintenance instructions to be found in this
manual are not designed to cover all imaginable service and maintenance scenarios. Should you require further instructions or
encounter specific problems, please do not hesitate to contact the distributor or valve manufacturer.
