1.1Overview of variants
Festo assists you in solving your automation tasks at machine
level with CPA valve terminals. The modular structure of the
CPA valve terminal for the CP system enables you to use the
CPA valve terminals optimally in your machine or system.
Due to its compact structure the CPA valve terminal can be
mounted close to the actuators to be actuated. Short compressed air tubing can therefore be used. System losses can
therefore be minimized and the times required for pressurizing and exhausting the tubing can be minimized. This enables
very compact valves with high flow rate to be used, therefore
helping to reduce costs.

3.1Preparing the compressed air
Caution
Dirty or incorrectly lubricated compressed air will reduce
the service life of the valve terminal.
3.1.1 Operation with non-lubricated compressed air
Caution
Too much residual oil content in the compressed air will
reduce the service life of the valve terminal.
– If bio-oils are used (oils with synthetic ester or true ester
basis, e.g. rape oil methylester) the residual oil content
must not exceed 0.1 mg/m
– If mineral oils are used (e.g. HLP oils as per DIN 51524
parts 1 to 3) or corresponding oils on a polyalphaolefine
basis (PAO), the residual oil content must not exceed
3
5mg/m
(see ISO 8573-1 class 4).
You will thereby avoid functional damage of the valves.
3
(see ISO 8573-1 class 2).
3-4
Excessive residual oil cannot be permitted irrespective of the
compressor oil, as otherwise the basic lubrication will be
washed out d uring the course of time.
Festo P.BE-CPA-EN en 0207c
3. Installation
3.1.2 Operation with lubricated compressed air
Please note
Please use non-lubricated air in your system if possible in
order to protect the environment. Festo pneumatic valves
and cylinders have been designed so that, if used as intended, they will not require additional lubrication and will
still achieve a long service life.
Please note the following instructions if lubricated compressed air must be used.
The compressed air prepared with the compressor must
correspond in quality to non-lubricated compressed air. If
possible, do not operate the complete system with lubricated
compressed air. If possible, always install the lubricators directly in front of the consuming cylinder.
Festo P .BE-CPA-EN en 0207c
Caution
Incorrect additional oil and too much residual oil content in
the compressed air will reduce the service life of the valve
terminal.
– Use Festo special oil OFSW-32 or the other oils listed in
the Festo catalogue (as per DIN51524-HLP32, basic
viscosity 32cST at 40 °C).
– The additional lubrication must not exceed 25 mg/m
(ISO 8573-1 class 5).
– Make sure that the lubricator setting is correct
(see following section).
You will thereby avoid functional damage of the valves.
Setting the lubricator
With the machine running (typical operating status) 0.2 to
max. 1 drop/min. or 0.5 to 5 drops/1000 l air.

3. Installation
Checking the lubricator setting
Proceed as follows:
• Check the service unit in respect of condensate and lubri-
cator setting twice a week.
1. Ascertain the cylinder which is furthest from the lubricator.
2. Ascertain the valve terminal which controls this cylinder.
3. Remove the silencer, if fitted, from connection 3/5.
4. Hold a piece of white cardboard 10 cm in front of the
exhaust port.
5. Let the system run for a short period.
– There must only be a slight yellow colouring on the
cardboard. If oil drops out, this is an indication that
too much oil has been used.
3-6
A further indication of excessive lubrication is the colouring
or status of the exhaust silencer. A distinctly yellow colouring
of the filter element or drops of oil on the silencer indicate
that the lubricator setting is too high.

3.2General connecting methods
Warning
Switch off the following power supplies before undertaking
installation and/or maintenance work:
• the compressed air supply
• the power supply for the valve solenoid coils.
You can thereby avoid:
– sudden uncontrolled movements of loose tubing,
– unexpected movements of the connected actuators,
– non-defined switching states of the electronic compo-
nents.

In order to guarantee the optimum efficiency of your CPA
valve terminal, we recommend in the following cases that you
connect the compressed air tubing and, if necessary, also the
exhaust air tubing on both sides:
– when large volume cylinders are operated at high speeds,
– when several valves are switched simultaneously to the
flow position.
3.3.1Auxiliary pilot air
Festo P .BE-CPA-EN en 0207c
Caution
– If possible, operate the CPA valve terminal with non-
lubricated auxiliary pilot air (connections 12/14). Otherwise observe the instructions in the section “Preparing
the compressed air.”
– With CPA valve terminals with internally branched auxili-
ary pilot air, the above mentioned instruction also
applies to the supply air (connection 1).
With CPV valve terminals with two pressure zones and internally branched auxiliary pilot air:
– Due to the internally branched auxiliary pilot air in the
right-hand end plate, the pressure in the right-hand
pressure zone must be 3...8 bar.
The CPA valve terminal can be operated with internal or external pilot air, depending on the right-hand end plate. You can
ascertain the auxiliary pilot air variant for which your CPA
valve terminal is equipped by the type designation on the
right-hand end plate (see table).

between 3...8 bar, you must operate the terminal with external pilot air. In this case, the auxiliary pilot air is supplied externally via connection 12/14.
Please note
• Used regulated pilot air (3...8 bar). Reliable and faultless
operation of the CPA valve terminal is then possible.
• If your CPA valve terminal is fitted with valve sub-bases
with Ident. code H, K or N (3/2-way valves), the external
pilot air must be set to correspond with the supply pressure at which these valve are operated (see diagrams).

3.3.4 Connecting the electric cables
Information on the connection procedure as well as on cables
and current requirements can be found in the manual
“CP System, installation and commissioning.”
Warning
Use only power units which guarantee reliable isolation of
the operating voltages as per IEC 742/EN 60742/VDE 0551
with at least 4 kV isolation resistance (Protected Extra Low
Voltage PELV). Switch power packs are permitted, providing they guarantee reliable isolation in accordance with
EN 60950/VDE 0805.
Please note:
By the use of PELV power units, protection against electric
shock (protection against direct and indirect contact) is guaranteed with the Festo valve terminals in accordance with
EN 60204-1/IEC 204. Safety transformers with the adjacent
symbol must be used for supplying PELV networks. The valve
terminals must be earthed to ensure that they function correctly (e.g. EMC).
3-20
Please note
Check within the framework of your EMERGENCY STOP
circuit, to ascertain the measures necessary for putting
your machine/system into a safe state in the event of an
EMERGENCY STOP (e.g. switching off the operating voltage
for the valves and output modules, switching off the compressed air).
Earthing the CPA valve terminal with CPX terminal
Instructions on earthing the CPA valve terminal with CPX
terminal can be found in the CPX system manual.
• Connect the earth connection on the electrical sub-base
(see diagram) with low impedance (short cable with
large cross-sectional area) to the earth potential.
In this way, you will avoid interference caused by electromagnetic influences.

Warning
Before actuating the manual override:
Uncontrolled actuation of the valve solenoid coils can
cause the actuators to perform sudden unexpected
movements which may cause injury to human beings and
damage to property.
• Disconnect the power supply for the valve solenoid coils
from the relevant connections on the CPA valve terminal.
You will thereby avoid undesired actuation of the valve
solenoid coils.
Before switching on the power supply:
During commissioning, manual override actuations which
are in the switched state can cause actuators to perform
sudden unexpected movements. These movements can
cause injury to human beings and damage to proper ty.
• Make sure that all manual override actuations are in
their basic positions.
You will thereby avoid undefined switching states of the
valves.
Festo P .BE-CPA-EN en 0207c
You should use the manual override especially when commissioning the pneumatic system, in order to check the function
and operation of the valve or the valve-cylinder-combination.
By actuating the manual override, you can switch the valve
without an electric signal. You only need to switch on the
compressed air supply.

4.1.2Checking the valve-cylinder combination
Warning
If the build-up in pressure of the auxiliary pilot air is too
slow or delayed, this may cause the actuators to perform
sudden unexpected movements under the following conditions:
– when the compressed air is switched on with a safety
start-up valve (slow build up of pressure) and
– when there are electric signals (e.g. after EMERGENCY
STOP).
This can cause damage to the machine or system and even
injury to human beings.
• Supply the auxiliary pilot air via the right-hand end plate
(3...8 bar).
The auxiliary pilot air must reach a pressure of 3...8 bar as
soon as it is switched on, otherwise the valve cannot be guaranteed to switch (see diagram).
Ifthepressureislessthan3bar,theremaybeadelaybefore
the valve is switched, in spite of an electric signal being present. The slow increase in pressure of the complete supply
does not then affect the cylinder. Depending on the valve
function, the cylinder would extend or retract suddenly.

5.3Replacing CPA valve terminal components
Components on the valve sub-bases can easily be removed
for maintenance and conversion work.
The following components can be mounted on one sub-base:
–onevalvesub-baseor
–oneblankingplateor
– one additional supply plate.
Please note
Only one valve sub-base with a solenoid coil (single-solenoid valve, Ident. code M) can be fitted in a valve location
with manifold block EV1. Valve sub-bases with two solenoid coils may only be fitted to a valve location with manifold block EV2.
