Safety instructions 11/52
2.6 Product-specific safety instructions
The following safety instructions apply to chapters 6 to 14.
WARNING
Explosion hazard due to explosive atmosphere during assembly!
During assembly, there must not be an explosive atmosphere. During work at the
valve, this condition could trigger an ignition which may lead to an explosion.
▶ Before working with the valve, ensure that no explosive atmosphere may occur
during the work.
Easily inflammable hydraulic fluid!
In connection with an explosive atmosphere or other hot heat sources, leaking
hydraulic fluid mist due to defective or incompletely assembled valves and their
connections may lead to explosions.
▶ Only use the valve in the intended explosion protection area.
▶ The ignition temperature of the hydraulic fluid used must be 50 K higher than
the maximum surface temperature.
Exceedance of the maximum temperatures!
Use of the valve outside the approved temperature ranges may lead to functional
failures like e.g. overheating of the valve solenoid. This means that the explosion
protection is no longer ensured.
▶ Only use the valve within the intended environmental and hydraulic fluid
temperature range.
Hot surface at the valve solenoid!
Risk of burning!
▶ Provide for a suitable touch guard.
▶ During operation, only touch the valve solenoid using heat-protective gloves.
Allow the valve solenoid to cool down to room temperature before touching it
directly with your hands during maintenance work.
Pressurized system parts and leaking hydraulic fluid!
When working at hydraulic systems with stored pressure energy (accumulators
or cylinders working under gravity), the valve may even be pressurized after the
pressure supply has been switched off. During assembly and disassembly work,
the valve or parts may fly around and cause personal injuries and/or damage to
property. There is moreover the danger of serious injury caused by a powerful
leaking hydraulic fluid jet.
▶ Before working at the valve, ensure that the hydraulic system is depressurized
and the electrical control is de-energized.
▶ Completely unload the pressure at machines and systems before working at
thevalve.
RE 24751-XE-B/04.16, H-4WEH...XE..., Bosch Rexroth AG
12/52 Safety instructions
WARNING
Non-compliance with functional safety!
The valve controls movements in machines or systems. In case of mechanical and
electric faults, e.g. failure of the energy supply, persons may be caught by the
system, kicked away or bruised.
▶ When setting up your circuit, observe functional safety e.g. according to
ENISO13849.
Penetrating water and humidity!
In case of use in humid or wet environments, water or humidity may penetrate at
electrical connections or the valve electronics. This case may lead to malfunctions
at the valve and to unexpected movements in the hydraulic system which may result
in personal injury and damage to property.
▶ Only use the valve within the intended IP protection class or lower.
▶ Ensure before the assembly that all seals and caps of the plug-in connections
are tight and intact.
CAUTION
Contaminated hydraulic fluid!
Contamination in the hydraulic fluid may cause functional failures e.g. jamming or
blocking of nozzles of the valve. In the worst case, this may result in unexpected
system movements and thus constitute a risk of injury for persons.
▶ Ensure adequate hydraulic fluid cleanliness according to the cleanliness classes
of the valve over the entire operating range.
Leakage in case of incorrect working temperatures!
Use of the valve outside the approved temperature ranges may lead to permanent
leakage at the valves. Thus, hydraulic fluid in the form of a leaking hydraulic fluid jet
may injure persons, lead to damage to property and endanger the environment.
▶ Only use the valve within the intended environmental and hydraulic fluid
temperature range.
▶ In case of leakage, immediately exchange damaged seal rings or the valve.
Corrosion!
The valve described has surface protection (see Data sheet "24751-XE"). If the
valve is used in a damp environment, the valve and the valve mounting screws may
corrode, which may reduce the preload force of the screw connection. To prevent
the valve from becoming loose and causing a risk of injury:
▶ Exchange valves with corrosion damage at an early stage.
▶ Check the surface protection at the valve and the valve mounting screws at
regular intervals.
Bosch Rexroth AG, H-4WEH...XE..., RE 24751-XE-B/04.16
Safety instructions 13/52
Contact with salt water leads to increased corrosion at the valve. This may
chemically corrode and damage individual components of the valve. So take
suitable corrosion protection measures.
2.7 Notices on the valve use
Observe the following information during project planning:
▶ Special application conditions for safe use include that in case of valves with two
solenoids, maximally one solenoid is operated at a time in all operating states.
The simultaneous operation of both solenoids leads to malfunctions, excessive
heating and will result in loss of explosion protection.
▶ Be aware of possible pressure intensification if the valve is connected to the
chamber on the piston rod side of a differential cylinder. If the outflow of the
hydraulic fluid from this chamber is obstructed, pressure on the cylinder may
result in a pressure intensification that may damage cylinder chamber, supply
line, andvalve.
▶ To ensure proper functioning, the valve must be bled. It must be ensured that the
values for the minimum pilot pressure specified in "Data sheet 24751-XE, Technical
data, hydraulic" are complied with.
▶ Pressure peaks in the joint return line of more than one valve may cause
unintended movements of the control spool and thus unintended switching
processes. This particularly holds true when valves with detent are used. It is
recommended to use separate return lines.
▶ Ports P, A, B and T as well as the pilot oil ports X and Y are clearly assigned
according to their function and must not be exchanged or closed. The flow is only
admissible in the direction of arrow specified in "Data sheet 24751-XE".
▶ Switching off the valve solenoid results in a voltage peak due to the inductive
effect. The valve solenoid already contains an interference protection circuit
dampening this voltage peak. However, additional external switching measures
have to be taken, if required, in order to avoid connected electric circuits being
influenced by the residual voltage peak. The values for the residual voltage peak
depend on the valve solenoid used, see the "Data sheet 24751-XE".

General information on damage to property anddamage to product 15/52
3 General information on damage to
property anddamage to product
The warranty only applies to the delivered configuration.
• The claim to warranty expires if the product is incorrectly assembled,
commissioned and operated, not used as intended and/or handled improperly.
• The following safety instructions apply to chapters 6 to 14.
NOTICE
Inadmissible mechanical load!
Impact or shock forces on the valve may damage or even destroy it.
▶ Never use the valve as a handle or a step. Do not place/put any objects on top
ofit.
Dirt and foreign particles in the valve!
Penetrating dirt and foreign particles in the valve lead to wear and malfunctions.
Safe function of the valve is therefore no longer ensured.
▶ During installation, ensure utmost cleanliness in order to prevent foreign
particles such as welding beads or metal chips from getting into the hydraulic
lines.
▶ Before commissioning, ensure that all hydraulic connections are tight and
that all seals and caps of the plug-in connections are correctly installed and
undamaged.
▶ Do not use linting cleaning fabric for cleaning.
▶ Ensure that no cleaning agents are able to penetrate the hydraulic system.
Hydraulic fluid harmful to the environment!
Leaking hydraulic fluid leads to environmental pollution.
▶ Immediately remedy possible leakage.
▶ Dispose of the hydraulic fluid in accordance with the currently applicable
national regulations in your country.
