3 Product description
2 Safety information
The safety information in this document refers only to an individual product. Potentially dangerous conditions can arise
in combination with other plant components, which need to
be considered on the basis of a risk analysis. The operator is
responsible for the production of the risk analysis and for
compliance with the resulting precautionary measures and
regional safety regulations.
The document contains fundamental safety information that
must be observed during commissioning, operation and
maintenance. Non-compliance with these instructions may
cause:
–Personal hazard due to electrical, mechanical and
chemical effects.
–Hazard to nearby equipment.
–Failure of important functions.
–Hazard to the environment due to the leakage of dan-
gerous materials.
The safety information does not take into account:
–Unexpected incidents and events, which may occur
during installation, operation and maintenance.
–Local safety regulations which must be adhered to by
the operator and by any additional installation person-
nel.
Prior to commissioning:
1. Transport and store the product correctly.
2. Do not paint the bolts and plastic parts of the product.
3. Carry out installation and commissioning using trained
personnel.
4. Provide adequate training for installation and operating
personnel.
5. Ensure that the contents of the document have been fully
understood by the responsible personnel.
6. Define the areas of responsibility.
7. Observe the safety data sheets.
8. Observe the safety regulations for the media used.
During operation:
9. Keep this document available at the place of use.
10. Observe the safety information.
11. Operate the product in accordance with this document.
12. Operate the product in accordance with the specifications.
13. Maintain the product correctly.
14. Do not carry out any maintenance work and repairs not
described in this document without consulting the manufacturer first.
The GEMÜ 205 directly controlled 2/2-way plastic solenoid
valve has a high performance coil. It is hermetically separated from the medium by means of a flexible PTFE bush. The
armature is sealed by a bellows made of PTFE backed by an
additional safety diaphragm. The plug has a rectifier for use
with an AC supply. A manual override and an optical position
indicator are integrated as standard.
3.3 Function
The GEMÜ 205 directly controlled 2/2-way solenoid valve is
designed for controlling media.
When the valve is closed the medium flows into the valve
body and presses onto the piston. The valve remains closed.
Observe the permissible operating pressure (see “Technical
data“, page8).

In cases of uncertainty:
15. Consult the nearest GEMÜ sales office.

4 Correct use
NOTICE
Operating pressure too high
▶ The valve cannot be opened electromagnetically if the
operating pressure is too high.
When voltage is applied the solenoid in the valve actuator is
activated and lifts the armature. This opens the valve outlet.
