INSTALLATION
ASCO Numatics components are intended to be used only
within the technical characteristics as specifi ed on the name-
plate. Damage may occur when liquids solidify above the
specifi ed minimum temperature.
Changes to the equipment are only allowed after consulting
the manufacturer or its representative. Before installation
depressurise the piping system and clean internally.
The equipment may be mounted in any position.
The fl ow direction and pipe connection of valves are indicated
on the body.
The pipe connections have to be in accordance with the size
indicated on the nameplate and fi tted accordingly.
CAUTION:
• Reducing the connections may cause improper operation
or malfunctioning.
• For the protection of the equipment install a strainer or fi lter
suitable for the service involved in the inlet side as close to
the product as possible.
• If tape, paste, spray or a similar lubricant is used when
tightening, avoid particles entering the system.
• Use proper tools and locate wrenches as close as possible
to the connection point.
• To avoid damage to the equipment, DO NOT OVER-
TIGHTEN pipe connections.
• Do not use valve or solenoid as a lever.
• The pipe connections should not apply any force, torque or
strain to the product.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
In case of electrical connections, they are only to be made
by trained personnel and have to be in accordance with the

local regulations and standards.
CAUTION:
• Turn off electrical power supply and de-energise the
electrical circuit and voltage carrying parts before start-
ing work.
• All electrical screw terminals must be properly tightened
according to the standards before putting into service.
• Dependent upon the voltage electrical components must
be provided with an earth connection and satisfy local
regulations and standards.
The equipment can have one of the following electrical
terminals:
• Spade plug connections according to ISO-4400 (when
correctly installed this connection provides lP-65 protec-
tion).
PUTTING INTO SERVICE
Before pressurising the system, fi rst carry-out an electri-
cal test. In case of solenoid valves, energise the coil a
few times and notice a metal click signifying the solenoid
operation.
SERVICE
Most of the solenoid valves are equipped with coils for
continuous duty service. To prevent the possibility of
personal or property damage do not touch the solenoid
which can become hot under normal operation conditions.
If the solenoid valve is easily accessible, the installer must
provide protection preventing accidental contact.
SOUND EMISSION
The emission of sound depends on the application, me-
dium and nature of the equipment used. The exact deter-
mination of the sound level can only be carried out by the
user having the valve installed in his system.
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance of ASCO Numatics products is dependent
on service conditions. Periodic cleaning is recommended,
the timing of which will depend on the media and serv-
ice conditions. During servicing, components should be
examined for excessive wear. A complete set of internal
parts is available as a spare parts kit. If a problem occurs
during installation/maintenance or in case of doubt please
contact ASCO Numatics or authorised representatives.
VALVE DISASSEMBLY
Disassemble in an orderly fashion. Pay careful attention to
exploded views provided for identifi cation of parts.
(No spare parts kit for series S374/CNOMO 30, remove
and replace the solenoid operator if necessary)
1. Remove retaining clip (1) and remove the coil (2).
2. Unscrew the core-tube (4) and remove it from the valve
body (9).
3. Remove the core, core guide and spring unit (5)(6)(7)
