Operating and mounting manual (translation)
EVS..Ü
By switching on the solenoid drive (800), the solenoid core (207) is drawn against the upper part (106).
The pressure spring (503) is pressed and the balance piston (220) releases the valve cross section. The
valve is open.
The valve closes by switching off, interruption or failure of power energy to solenoid drive (800). Due to
press of the pressure spring (503) the balance piston (220) closes. The valve is closed at 15% of nominal
voltage.

5.0 Installation
5.1 Warning of dangers during installation, operation and maintenance
Operating and mounting manual (translation)
EVS..Ü
DANGER!
Safe operation of the valve can only be guaranteed if it is installed, commissioned and
maintained by qualified personnel (see point 2.3 “Qualified staff“) correctly and in
observance of the warnings in this operating manual. Apart from that, the operation
safety order and the qualified use of tools and protection equipment must be
guaranteed. The operating instructions for the valve must be observed during all work
on or with the valve. Failure to observe these instructions may result in injury or in
damage to the valve or other installations.
In case of use of the valve as sealing end, we recommend safety measures like for example blanks, blind
flanges, etc. in case of maintenance work.
5.2 Installation
Apart from the general installation guidelines, the following points should be observed:
NOTICE!
Remove the flange covers.
The inside of the valve and the pipeline must be free from foreign particles.
Observe the installation position in relation to the flow direction, see markings on
the valve.
Centre gaskets between the flanges.
The connecting flanges must be aligned.
Ensure that none of the components is strained during installation.
The valve must not be used as a fixed point; it is supported by the pipework
system.
Protect valves from soiling, particularly during construction work.
Thermal expansion of the pipework must be equalized using compensators.
According to DIN EN ISO 23553-1 a dirt catcher must be installed in front of every safety lock valve. The
mesh diameter inside of the sieve must be 0.5 mm. In case of two safety lock valves combined it is
sufficient to install one dirt catcher in front of the first valve. The dirt catcher must be installed in a not too
far distance from the first valve. The UNI-Geräte dirt catchers of the SFR series are permitted for the use
of flange valve.
The valve can be installed with vertical or horizontal, but not suspended solenoid drive.
NOTICE!
Please observe the solenoid drive operating instructions (BTA).

10.0 Explanations on Codes and Directives
The Council of the European Community has passed common guidelines for the free exchange of goods
within the Community; these guidelines determines a minimum of requirements for safety and protection
of health. The type test confirms that products correspond to the EC guidelines, i.e. are in conformity with
the relevant, especially harmonized standards. The directives DIN EN ISO 23553-1 refer to oil solenoid
valve (mechanical part).
Notes concerning directives DIN EN ISO 23553-1::
The valves must be developed, manufactured and checked under observation of standard DIN EN ISO
23553-1. This is proven by the type test.
Notes concerning directives 97/23/EG (directive for pressure appliances, DGRL):
It was confirmed that the manufacturer UNI-Geräte E. Mangelmann Elektrotechnische Fabrik GmbH fulfils
quality assurance with regard to design control, manufacturing and final inspection as per the
requirements of 98/23/EG annex III module H. The oil solenoid valves correspond to the basic
requirements of guidelines 97/23/EG. Valves with permitted operating pressures of ≤ 0,5bar and DN ≤ 25
do not all under 97/23/EG. The marks as per 97/23/EG must only be implied in case of products, which
Operating and mounting manual (translation)
EVS..Ü
fall under DGRL and are in Kat I or higher. Fluid group 1 includes explosion-prone, inflammable and
poisonous matters. Die Fluid group 2 includes media, which are no included in fluid group 1.
Note concerning ex-guideline 94/9/EC (explosion guideline ATEX):
The product is not subject to guideline 94/9/EC, since due to the loads occurring during practical
operation, there is no effective source of ignition even in case of an error case to be assumed. This also
applies for spring-loaded components, in fluid-filled rooms. In case of electric drives, sensors or other
electric components the application as per 94/9/EC is to be checked separately.
National Codes and Directives
For the use of safety shut-off devices in accordance with DIN EN 12952-8 or DIN EN 746, the
