3 BASIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
These safety instructions do not make allowance for any contingencies and events which may arise during installation, operation and
maintenance.
Danger – high pressure!
▶ Before loosening the lines and valves, turn off the pressure and
vent the lines.
Risk of electric shock!
▶ Before reaching into the system, switch off the power supply and
secure to prevent reactivation!
▶ Observe applicable accident prevention and safety regulations for
electrical equipment!
Risk of burns/Risk of fire if used continuously through hot device
surface!
▶ Keep the device away from highly flammable substances and media
and do not touch with bare hands.
Risk of injury due to malfunction of valves with alternating
current (AC)!
Sticking core causes coil to overheat, resulting in a malfunction.
▶ Monitor process to ensure function is in perfect working order.
Risk of short-circuit/escape of media through leaking screw joints!
▶ Ensure seals are seated correctly.▶ Carefully screw together coil and cable plug or valve and connection
plate.
To prevent injury, ensure that:
▶ Do not make any internal or external changes to the device bodies.
Ensure that the system cannot be activated unintentionally.
▶ Installation and repair work may be carried out by authorized techni-
cians only and with the appropriate tools.
▶ After an interruption in the power supply or pneumatic supply, ensure
that the process is restarted in a defined or controlled manner.
▶ For models with ATEX or UL approval follow the safety instructions
on the respective supplementary sheet.

operation
Important information for functional reliability during continuous
operation! If standstill for a long period at least 1-2 operation
per day are recommended.
Service life: High switching frequency and high pressures
reduce the service life

5.1 Safety instructions
DANGER!
Risk of injury from high pressure in the equipment!
▶ Before loosening the lines and valves, turn off the pressure and
vent the lines.
Risk of injury due to electrical shock!
▶ Before reaching into the system, switch off the power supply and
secure to prevent reactivation!
▶ Observe applicable accident prevention and safety regulations for
electrical equipment!
WARNING!
Risk of injury from improper installation!
▶ Installation may be carried out by authorized technicians only and
with the appropriate tools!
Risk of injury from unintentional activation of the system and an
uncontrolled restart!
▶ Secure system from unintentional activation.▶ Following installation, ensure a controlled restart.
The connection terminals in the cable plug are identified with
the numbers 1 to 3 according to the terminals on the valve.
Procedure:
→ Connect the pulse valves (variable code CF 02).→ For direct current versions connect negative terminal to terminal 3.

NOTE!
Important information:
• Avoid emitting pulses simultaneously to both coil windings.
• Do not switch any other consumers (relays, etc.) at the same time
as the terminals.
• The coil connection, to which voltage is not applied, must be galvanically isolated (open).
• If two or more valves are switched in parallel, ensure that this
requirement is met by using 2-pole or multi-pole switches.
6 MAINTENANCE, TROUBLESHOOTING
6.1 Safety instructions
WARNING!
Risk of injury from improper maintenance!
▶ Maintenance may be carried out by authorized technicians only and
with the appropriate tools!
Risk of injury from unintentional activation of the system and an
uncontrolled restart!
▶ Secure system from unintentional activation.▶ Following maintenance, ensure a controlled restart.
6.2 Malfunctions

If malfunctions occur, check:
→ the device has been installed according to the instructions,→ the electrical and fluid connections are correct,→ the device is not damaged and all screws have been tightened,→ the voltage and pressure have been switched on,→ the pipelines are clean,→ corresponding orifice is used in vacuum mode of the pump
capacity (Type 0343 / 0344).
→ Type 0343: operating and control pressure (control pressure must
be at least 2 bar above operating pressure).
Valve does not switch
Possible cause:
• Short-circuit or coil interrupted.
• Medium pressure outside the permitted pressure range.
• Manual emergency actuation locked.
Valve does not close
Possible cause:
• Internal space of the valve is dirty.
• Manual emergency actuation locked.
