Personnel qualifications
The work described in this documentation requires basic mechanical, electrical and pneumatic
knowledge, as well as knowledge of the appropriate technical terms. In order to ensure safe use,
these activities may therefore only be carried out by qualified technical personnel or an
instructed person under the direction and supervision of qualified personnel.
Qualified personnel are those who can recognize possible hazards and institute the appropriate
safety measures, due to their professional training, knowledge, and experience, as well as their
understanding of the relevant regulations pertaining to the work to be done. Qualified personnel
must observe the rules relevant to the subject area.
General safety instructions
W
Observe the regulations for accident prevention and environmental protection.
W
Observe the safety instructions and regulations of the country in which the product is used.
W
Only use the AS3-SV safety valve in perfect working order.
W
Follow all the instructions on the product.
W
Persons who assemble, operate, disassemble, or maintain the AS3-SV safety valve must not
consume any alcohol, drugs, or pharmaceuticals that may affect their ability to respond.
W
Only use accessories and spare parts approved by the manufacturer.
W
Comply with the technical data and ambient conditions listed in the product documentation.
W
If unsuitable products are installed or used in safety-relevant applications, this may result in
uncontrolled system operating states that may lead to injuries or equipment damage.
Therefore, only use a product in safety-relevant applications if such use is specifically stated
and permitted in the product documentation.
W
You may only commission the product if you have determined that the end product (such as
a machine or system) in which the AVENTICS products are installed meets the
country-specific provisions, safety regulations, and standards for the specific application.
Safety instructions related to the product and technology
Danger of injury due to stored energy (compressed air) and voltage!
When the system is at a standstill, there is still a danger due to stored energy (compressed air)
and voltage. Dangerous movements are possible e.g. during exhaust.
O
Generally avoid storing compressed air.
O
Make sure that the relevant system part is not under voltage or pressure before you
assemble or disassemble the product.
O
Exhaust the system before working on it.
O
Always protect the system against being switched on.
O
Remove all other sources of danger in the immediate work area that may result from
stored energy in the system.
Danger of injury by dismantling the safety valve!
Pre-tensioned springs may suddenly be released when dismantling.
O
Never dismantle the safety valve.
Injuries if system-specific limits are not complied with!
The operating conditions for the safety valve may deviate from the system operating
conditions.
O
Always observe the information in the documentation for the superior system.
O
Before assembly, contact the system manufacturer or AVENTICS GmbH to clarify any
contradictions or questions.
Danger of burns caused by hot surfaces!
Touching the surfaces of the safety valve and adjacent components during operation could
cause burns.
O
Let the relevant system component cool down before working on the safety valve.
O
Do not touch the relevant system component during operation.
Risk of injury due to loss of the safety function!
Depending on the application, you must take appropriate measures to ensure the safety
function.
O
When implementing safety measures against switch-off surges, check whether these
extend the safety valve's switch-off time.
O
Check if the safety valve's electrical connection cables have to be routed separately.
O
In case of high levels of machine vibrations, use appropriate vibration-reducing elements
when mounting the safety valve.
O
Avoid overvoltages. These result in solenoid burnout.
WARNING
Danger due to high sound pressure level!
During operation, the sound pressure level of the device can reach up to 94 dB (A). This may
irreversibly damage the hearing.
O
Always wear ear protectors during operation.
Personal protective equipment
O
Wear appropriate protective clothing during assembly and maintenance. Observe the
applicable occupational safety regulations for the system.
O
Always wear ear protectors during operation.
Responsibilities of the system owner
As the owner of a system that will be equipped with an AS3-SV safety valve, you are responsible
for
W
ensuring intended use,
W
ensuring that operating employees receive regular instruction,
W
ensuring that the operating conditions are in line with the requirements for the safe use of
the product,
W
ensuring that no unauthorized repairs are attempted if there is a malfunction.
Other requirements of the operator:
O
Observe the information on assembly and operating conditions listed in the operating
instructions or the data sheet.
O
Comply with the further requirements of ISO 13849 (e.g. CCF, DC, PL
to use the product in higher categories (2 to 4).
O
Make sure that the maximum number of switching cycles (B10
(typical assumption as per ISO 13849-1 = 20 years) is not exceeded. If the expected number
of switching cycles for a component exceeds the B10
exchange intervals have to be specified.
O
Switch the AS3-SV safety valve at least once a month to ensure its proper function.
O
Make sure that the fundamental and proven safety principles in accordance with ISO 13849
for implementation and operation of the component are complied with.
O
Make sure that the permissible positive and negative test pulses for feedback-free operation
of the pneumatic devices are observed (see chapter 13 "Technical Data").
