Series 21 Solenoid Pilot Controlled Full Vacuum Valves

Full Vacuum — 3-Way Normally Closed

This valve functions as a normally open valve. Pipe the unit into the system by connecting the vacuum source or pump to port 3, the normal exhaust. Leave port 1 open to atmosphere, and the normal outlet remains as the work port (port 2).

Series 16 Compact Poppet Valves, Line or Manifold Mounting

With Direct Acting Solenoid Control

Series 16 valves are direct acting solenoid valves of small size and high reliability. They are suitable for use either with or without air line lubrication. Valves are available for 1/8 and 1/4 port sizes in three valve types: 3/2 normally open or closed and 4/2. Models are available for either inline mounting or manifold mounting.

Cautions

PRE-INSTALLATION or SERVICE

1. Before servicing a valve or other pneumatic component, be sure that all sources of energy are turned off, the entire pneumatic system is shut off and exhausted, and all power sources are locked-out (ref: OSHA 1910.147, EN 1037).

2. All ROSS products, including service kits and parts, should be installed and/or serviced only by persons having training and experience with pneumatic equipment. Because any installation can be tampered with or need servicing after installation, persons responsible for the safety of others or the care of equipment must check every installation on a regular basis and perform all necessary maintenance.

3. All applicable instructions should be read and complied with before using any ﬂuid power system in order to prevent harm to persons or equipment. In addition, overhauled or serviced valves must be functionally tested prior to installation and use.

4. Each ROSS product should be used within its speciﬁcation limits. In addition, use only ROSS parts to repair ROSS products. Failure to follow these directions can adversely affect the performance of the product or result in the potential for human injury.

FILTRATION and LUBRICATION

5. Dirt, scale, moisture, etc. are present in virtually every air system. Although some valves are more tolerant of these contaminants than others, best performance will be realized if a ﬁlter is installed to clean the air supply, thus preventing contaminants from interfering with the proper performance of the equipment. ROSS recommends a ﬁlter with a 5-micron rating for normal applications.

6. All standard ROSS ﬁlters and lubricators with polycarbonate plastic bowls are designed for compressed air applications only. Do not fail to use the metal bowl guard, where provided, to minimize danger from high pressure fragmentation in the event of bowl failure. Do not expose these products to certain ﬂuids, such as alcohol or liqueﬁed petroleum gas, as they can cause bowls to rupture, creating a combustible condition, hazardous leakage, and the potential for human injury. Immediately replace a crazed, cracked, or deteriorated bowl. When bowl gets dirty, replace it or wipe it with a clean dry cloth.

Flow Media: Filtered air; 5 micron recommended. Manual Override: Flush ﬂexible manual override (non-locking),

standard. Port Treads: NPT standard. For BSPP threads, add a “D” preﬁx to the model number; for J threads, add a “J” preﬁx to the model number.

Options: Indicator Light: Order kit number 862K87 and specify the voltage

of the solenoid. Manual Override: Metal button; see Manual Override Kits

7. Only use lubricants which are compatible with materials used in the valves and other components in the system. Normally, compatible lubricants are petroleum base oils with oxidation inhibitors, an aniline point between 180°F (82°C) and 220°F (104°C), and an ISO 32, or lighter, viscosity. Avoid oils with phosphate type additives which can harm polyurethane components, potentially leading to valve failure and/or human injury. If you have questions regarding whether a lubricant used on your system is compatible with ROSS products, please contact ROSS.

AVOID INTAKE/EXHAUST RESTRICTION

8. Do not restrict the air ﬂow in the supply line. To do so could reduce the pressure of the supply air below the minimum requirements for the valve and thereby cause erratic action.

9. Do not restrict a valve’s exhaust port as this can adversely affect its operation. Exhaust silencers must be resistant to clogging and have ﬂow capacities at least as great as the exhaust capacities of the valves. Contamination of the silencer can result in reduced ﬂow and increased back pressure.

ROSS expressly disclaims all warranties and responsibility for any unsatisfactory performance or injuries caused by the use of the wrong type, wrong size, or inadequately maintained silencer installed with a ROSS product.

POWER PRESSES

10. Mechanical power presses and other potentially hazardous machinery using a pneumatically controlled clutch and brake mechanism must use a press control double valve with a monitoring device. A double valve without a self-contained monitoring device should be used only in conjunction with a control system which assures monitoring of the valve. All double valve installations involving hazardous applications should incorporate a monitoring system which inhibits further operation of the valve and machine in the event of a failure within the valve mechanism.

ENERGY ISOLATION/EMERGENCY STOP

11. Per speciﬁcations and regulations, ROSS L-O-X

with EEZ-ON® operation products are deﬁned as energy isolation

L-O-X

devices, NOT AS EMERGENCY STOP DEVICES.
