GENERAL SAFETY NOTES
Please observe the notes in these operating instructions together with the conditions of use and permitted
data that are specified in the data sheet, in order that the device will function perfectly and remain operable for a long time:
•Keep to standard engineering rules in planning the use of and operating the device!
•Installation and maintenance work are only allowed by specialist personnel using suitable tools!
•Observe the current regulations on accident prevention and safety for electrical devices during
operation, maintenance and repair of the device!
•Always switch off the power supply before intervening in the system!
•Note that in systems under pressure, piping and valves may not be loosened!

•After interruption of the electrical or pneumatic supply , mak e sure the process is restarted in a welldefined, controlled manner!
•On non-observance of these notes and unauthorized interference with the device, we will refuse all
liability and the warranty on device and accessories will become void!
Protection from damage by electrostatic charging
The unit contains electronic components that are very sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (EDS). Contact to electrostatically charged
persons or objects will endanger these components. In the worst case,
they will be immediately destroyed or will fail after commissioning.
Observe the requirements of EN 100 015 - 1 in order to minimize the
possibility of, or avoid, damage from instantaneous electrostatic
discharge. Also take care not to touch components that are under

WARRANTY CONDITIONS
This document contains no warranty statements. In this connection we refer to our general sales and
business conditions. A prerequisite for validity of the warranty is use of the device as intended with
observance of the specified conditions of use.
ATTENTION!
The warranty covers only faultless condition of the automation system and the
attached valves supplied. No liability will be accepted for consequential damage of any
kind that may arise from failure or malfunctioning of the device.
APPROVALS
The approval marks on Bürkert rating plates refer to the Bürkert products. In order that the complete v alv e
island is approved, a gateway with a design inspection certificate must be used. In this case, a valv e
island may be extended with appro v ed units having design inspection certificates up to 64 valv es.
More detailed information on the approvals of the valv es is to be f ound in the chapter V alv es.
ASSEMBLY NOTE
If the configuration of the valve b loc k also pro vides of Type 0461 (5/2- way pulsed v alv e , 5/3- w ay valve), a
profile rail EN 50022-35x15 must be used.

INSTALLA TION / COMMISSIONING
Removing the valve block from the top-hat rail
The valve block is firmly screwed to a standard rail. Additional electrical modules / terminals can be
mounted on this.
If present, release the adjacent modules /
terminals!
Unlock the Vavle bloc k from the standard rail b y
turning the fixing screws anticlockwise as far as
they will go.
Lift the Valve block vertically from the rail.
Disconnect the modules / terminals from the
standard rail following the manuf acturer’s
instructions.
NOTE
The interface of the left-hand connection module contains elements that can be
damaged if force is used.
Never place the valve block on its side, and ensure that you use an approved
installation position!

INSTALLA TION / COMMISSIONING
Installation of the AirLINE system (e.g. in a control cabinet)
ATTENTION!
During work in the control cabinet, observe the relevant safety regulations!
Before mounting, check whether the mounting rail is properly anchored in the control
cabinet or in the system.
Observe the sequence of installation specified in the configuration file(s).
Observe the notes for the connected system!
According to the manufacturer’ s instructions (Chapter 2: Installing the Mounting Base /Wiring Base
Assembly, Installing I/O Modules), snap all electrical modules / terminals onto the standard rail to the
left of the valve block.
Slide the valve block onto the standard rail along the interface of the previous module.
NOTE
Screw the valve block to the rail by tightening the fixing screws clockwise.
Mount all other modules / terminals on the rail.
ATTENTION!
Alternative for large valve blocks:
-Remove the preceding module
-Snap the valve block onto the standard rail
-Slide the block to its final position
-Snap on the preceding module again
The v alv e block is not securely fastened to the standard rail until the fixing screws have
been firmly tightened. Throughout the installation, you m ust ensure that it cannot fall.

Special features of commissioning
On delivery , all v alve islands possess a comparable configur ation with regard to module addressing.
The first addressable module after the field bus node has the address 62,
all following modules the address 63.
Reason:
If a passive DeviceNet node (1734-PDN) is used, then automatic addressing can only be performed via the
modules directly. Since it is difficult to remov e the modules o wing to the pneumatic design, the first module
was assigned a different address (62).
NOTE
If an active DeviceNet node is used, automatic addressing must be performed.
With the active Profibus node (1734-APB), this is performed automatically on power-up.
Valves switch with
delay or blow out at the
vent connections:
Possible cause
Operating voltage not present or insufficient;
Manual override knob not in neutral position;
Pressure supply insufficient or not present.
Pressure supply insufficient or not present;
Valves not in basic position (no power) during
pressure build-up;
Venting of exhaust aire channels insufficient
because silencers are too small or
contaminated (backpressure);
Remedy
Check the electrical connection.
Provide operating voltage acc. to
nameplate.
Turn knob to zero position.
Execute pressure supply with as large a
volume as possible (also for upstream
devices such as pressure controllers,
maintenance units, shut-off valves, etc.).
Minimum operating pressure
Execute pressure supply with as large a
volume as possible (also for upstream
devices such as pressure controllers,
maintenance units, shut-off valves, etc.).
Minimum operating pressure
Pressurize the valve block
valve switch!
Use matching, large-sized silencers or
expansion vessels.
