Installation
CAUTION
Please observe the following to ensure that the VGP
is not damaged during installation and operation:
– Do not clamp the unit in a vice. Only secure the
flange by holding the octagon with a suitable
spanner. Risk of external leakage.
– Continuous operation at high temperatures ac-
celerates the ageing of elastomer materials.
– Do not install or store the unit in the open air.
– Dropping the device can cause permanent dam-
age. In this event, replace the entire device and
associated modules before use.
– Check max. ambient temperature– see type
label.
– Check max. inlet pressure– see type label.

Maintenance
▷ In order to ensure smooth operation: check the
tightness and function of the VGP every year, or
every six months if operated with biogas.
Checking tightness and function
▷ In order to determine whether the VGP is tight
and closes securely, check the internal and external tightness, see page3 (Tightness test).
▷
Check electrical installations in line with local regulations; pay particular attention to the PEwire,
see page3 (Wiring).
▷
We recommend replacing the entire seal set
when servicing the solenoid valve.
▷
Seal set VGP10-15 comprises the valve seal, 2x
O-rings, 1x seal and 1x quick fastener.
▷
Seal set VGP20-25 comprises the valve seal
and 3x O-rings.

Assistance in the event of malfunction
! Guiding elements bent. Incorrect handling when
installing the unit.
WARNING
Electric shocks can be fatal! Before working on
possible live components, ensure the unit is disconnected from the power supply.
Fault-clearance must only be undertaken by authorized trained personnel.
Unauthorized repairs or incorrect electrical connections can cause the solenoid valve to become
defective. In this case, our warranty will be rendered void.
? Fault
! Cause
• Remedy
Possible faults and suggested solutions
? The solenoid valve does not open, there is
no flow downstream of the solenoid valve.
! There is no power supply.
• Check wiring, see page3 (Wiring).
! Rectifier adapter defective.
• Remove socket and rectifier adapter, see
page 4 (Replacing the actuator), steps
to 5 . Check the ohmic resistance of the rectifier
adapter between contacts and2. Note the
inscription on the rectifier adapter.

• Dismantle the unit and return it to the manufac-
turer.
? The solenoid valve does not close securely,
the flow downstream of the solenoid valve
does not stop.
! Valve seat is dirty.
• Clean the valve seat, see page 4 (Mainte-
nance).
• Install a filter upstream of the solenoid valve.
! Valve seat is damaged.
• Dismantle the unit and return it to the manufac-
turer.
! Valve seal is damaged or hardened.
• Replace the valve seal, see page4 (Mainte-
nance).
! Guiding elements bent. Incorrect handling when
installing the unit.
• Dismantle the unit and return it to the manufac-
turer.
• No resistance, replace adapter.
• The rectifier adapter is available separately as a
spare part.
! Actuator defective.
• Remove socket and rectifier adapter, see
page 4 (Replacing the actuator), steps
to 5 . Check the ohmic resistance of the actuator
between contacts (N) and 2(L). Read off the
contact assignment from the rectifier adapter.
