vent the lines.
WARNING!
Risk of injury from unsuitable connection hoses!
Hoses which cannot withstand the pressure and temperature
range may result in hazardous situations.
▶ Use only hoses which are authorised for the indicated pressure
and temperature range.

actuator (see “Fig. 15: Pneumatic connection”)
Silencer
For reducing the exhaust air noise: plug the silencer into the free air
discharge connection (see “Fig. 15: Pneumatic connection”)
If used in an aggressive environment, we recommend
conveying all free pneumatic connections into a neutral
atmosphere with the aid of a pneumatic hose.

DANGER!
Risk of injury from discharge of medium and pressure!
It is dangerous to remove a device which is under pressure due to
the sudden release of pressure or discharge of medium.
▶ Before removing a device, switch off the pressure and vent the
lines.
Procedure:
→ Loosen the pneumatic connection.→ Remove the device.
NOTE!
Deformation of the diaphragm!
▶ For prolonged storage of the valves, slacken the housing screws.

Maintenance, cleaning
11.2 Maintenance work
11.2.1 Actuator
The actuator of the diaphragm control valve is maintenance-free
provided it is used according to these operating instructions.
11.2.2 Wearing parts of the diaphragm
control valve
Parts which are subject to natural wear:
• Seals
• Diaphragm
→ If leaks occur, replace the particular wearing part with an appro-
priate spare part (see chapter “13 Replacement parts”).
A bulging PTFE diaphragm may reduce the flow.
The replacing of the wearing parts is described in chapter
“12 Repairs”.
11.2.3 Inspection intervals
→ Check diaphragm for wear after maximum 10
5
switching cycles.
11.2.4 Service life of the diaphragm
The service life of the diaphragm depends on the following factors:
• Diaphragm material
• Medium, Medium pressure, Medium temperature
• Actuator size
• Pilot pressure for CFB.
Protecting the diaphragm
→ For CFB try and select the pilot pressure not higher than is
required to actuate the medium pressure.
11.2.5 Cleaning
Commercially available cleaning agents can be used to clean the
outside.
NOTE!
Avoid causing damage with cleaning agents.
▶ Before cleaning, check that the cleaning agents are compatible
with the body materials and seals.
Follow instructions for use in the Ex area!
See chapter “3.1”.

and secure to prevent reactivation!
▶ Observe applicable accident prevention and safety regulations
for electrical equipment!
WARNING!
Risk of injury from improper maintenance!
▶ Installation may be carried out by authorised technicians only
and with the appropriate tools!
▶ Observe the tightening torques.▶ On completion of the work check valve for leaks and function.
Risk of injury from unintentional activation of the system and
an uncontrolled restart!
▶ Secure system from unintentional activation.▶ Following maintenance, ensure a controlled restart.

DANGER!
Risk of injury from discharge of medium and pressure!
It is dangerous to remove a device which is under pressure due to
the sudden release of pressure or discharge of medium.
▶ Before removing a device, switch off the pressure and vent the
lines.

Replacement for control function A
→ Clamp the valve body in a holding device
(applies only to valves not yet installed).
NOTICE!
Damage to the diaphragm or the seat contour!
▶ When removing the actuator, ensure that the valve is in open
position.

Repairs
→ Pressurize lower pilot air port of the actuator with compressed
air (5 bar): valve opens.
→ Loosen the body screws / body nuts.→ Remove the actuator from the body.→ Unscrew old diaphragm. If attachment is with a bayonet catch,
remove the diaphragm by rotating it through 90°.
→ Install new diaphragm.→ Align diaphragm.
The marker flap of the diaphragm must be perpendicular to
the direction of flow (see “Fig. 16”)!
→ Place actuator back on the body.→ Insert the body screws / body nutsand lightly cross-tighten until
the diaphragm is between the body and actuator.
Do not tighten the body screws / body nutsyet.
→ Actuate the diaphragm control valve twice.→ Without pressurization tighten the body screws / body nuts
to the permitted tightening torque (see “Tab. 11: Tightening
torques for diaphragms”).
