• The operator is responsible for inspection of the product and the overall sys-
tem.
Use in aggressive ambient conditions
Aggressive ambient conditions include, for example:
• High temperatures
• Heavy accumulation of dirt
• Proximity to grease-dissolving liquids or vapors
Aggressive ambient conditions lead to further requirements for inspection:
• Adapt the inspection interval for seals to the ambient conditions.
NOTICE! Seals age faster under aggressive ambient conditions. Defective
seals will lead to pneumatic leaks and non-compliance with the degree of pro-
tection. Inspect seals more frequently.
• Enter the adapted inspection intervals in the system-specific maintenance
plan (accident prevention, material protection).
9.2.2 Procedure
Preparation
All work has to be prepared as follows:
1. Close off dangerous areas (accident prevention).
2. Make sure the system or system part is not under pressure or voltage (acci-
dent prevention).
3. Protect the system against being restarted (accident prevention).
4. Allow the product and adjacent system parts to cool down (accident preven-
tion).
5. Wear protective clothing (accident prevention).
Visual inspection
Visually inspect for integrity.
Detailed inspection
• Check identifications and warnings on the product: Labels and identifications
must be legible (accident prevention, material protection).
Replace hard-to-read labels or identification immediately.
• Check the seals.
• Check to make sure that all fittings are properly connected.
• Check the safety devices on the system.
• Check the product functions.
9.3 Cleaning
9.3.1 General requirements
Cleaning intervals
• The system owner specifies the cleaning intervals in line with the ambient
conditions at the operating site.
• Observe the information in the system documentation.
• In explosive areas: Always comply with the mandatory cleaning intervals (dust
deposits and other contamination) (explosion protection).
Aids
• Only clean the product with damp cloths. This avoids the formation of sparks
due to electrostatic charging (explosion protection).
• Only use water for cleaning and a mild detergent, if necessary (material pro-
tection).
Notes
Penetrating fluids destroy seals and cause damage to the product.

5. Wear protective clothing (accident prevention).
6. Close all openings with suitable safety devices so that no cleaning agent can
enter into the system.
Cleaning
1. Remove all dust deposits from the product and the adjacent system parts.
2. If necessary, remove other production-related deposits from the product and
the adjacent system parts.
9.4 Maintenance
In normal ambient conditions, the product is maintenance-free.
Notes
• Observe the maintenance plan for the overall system: Further maintenance
tasks may result from the maintenance plan for the overall system and the
maintenance intervals specified therein.
• In aggressive ambient conditions, seals may have to be replaced.
9.5 After service
After completion of the service work, carry out the following steps:
1. Remove all tools and devices from the work area.
2. Remove all installed barriers and notices.
3. Clean the work area, mop up any liquids and remove work materials.
4. Log any service work in the respective plan.
If no damage has been detected and the operator has not reported any malfunc-
tions, the product can be reconnected to the power supply and put back into op-
eration.
10 Dismounting
Disassembly is only required if the product has to be exchanged, installed in a dif-
ferent location or disposed off.
INFO: If, by loosening the center screw, the electrical connector has been sepa-
rated from the solenoid coil several times, the electrical connector and the seal
must be exchanged for original spare parts.
10.1 Basic requirements
• Make sure that there is sufficient space.
• Secure larger product or system parts so that they cannot fall down or topple
(accident prevention).
Handling suspended loads
• Do not stand under suspended loads (accident prevention).
Avoid contamination
• Make sure that the environment is not contaminated with grease or lubricants
during disassembly (material protection).
Avoid penetration of liquids
• Ensure that cable sealing ring and seal remain undamaged during disassembly
(material protection).
10.2 Notes on safety
To eliminate risks during disassembly, observe the notes on safety: see section
g 2.6.1. Notes on safety.
10.3 Preparation
1. Protect the system against being restarted (accident prevention).
2. Allow the product and adjacent system parts to cool down (accident preven-
tion).
CAUTION! Touching the product or its components during operation can
cause burns. Do not touch the product during operation.
11 Disposal
Improper disposal of the product and packaging will lead to pollution of the envi-
ronment. Furthermore, the materials can no longer be recycled.
