2.6 Safety instructions related to the product and technology
Danger of injury due to loose PUR tubing!
The push-in fittings are only suitable for PUR tubing if you are using PUR tubing
from AVENTICS or if additional stiffener sleeves from other providers have
been inserted in the ends of the PUR tubing.
Use only AVENTICS stiffener sleeves with the following material numbers
u
for PUR tubing from other providers:
8183040000: Ø 4 x 0.75
8183080000: Ø 8 x 1
8183060000: Ø 6 x 1
3 General instructions on equipment and product
damage
Mechanical loads!
Damage to function modules!
Make sure that the function modules are not under mechanical strain.
u
Danger of injury if assembled under pressure or voltage!
Assembling when under pressure or electrical voltage can lead to injuries and
damage to the product or system components. Danger of injury from electric
shocks and sudden pressure drops.
1. Make sure that the relevant system part is without pressure and voltage be-
fore you perform the following work:
- disassemble/assemble the product
- disassemble/assemble the system
2. Protect the system against being restarted.
4 Scope of delivery
• 1 function module according to order
• 1 set of operating instructions
Additionally for pressure regulators, depending on the version
• 1 or 2 blanking plugs

5 About this product
Series AV function modules are pneumatic components, which extend the func-
tion of the connected valve. Depending on the order, you can mount the function
modules on the working connections of the AV valve systems or use them as a
stand-alone device.
Devices to connect to AV valve systems have pneumatic push-in fit-
tings on the valve side, which are directly inserted into connections 2
and 4 of the AV valve systems.
Stand-alone devices have pneumatic push-in fittings on the valve
side for the tubing connection.
• Exhaust modules: For 5/3 directional valves with closed center, outputs 2 and
4 are pressurized after switching in the center. If the actuator needs to be
moved, e.g. for installation, maintenance, or to release persons, you can ex-
haust the operating lines by applying control pressure to the exhaust module
or by manually operating the exhaust module.
When combined with vertical actuators, exhaust modules with exhaust or
pressure limitation may be used up to a maximum load of 15 kg as well as up
to a speed of Vmax < 33 mm/s.
• Pressure regulators: You can mechanically regulate the pressure on output
connections 2 and 4 of a valve on the pressure regulator and check it using a
pressure gauge.
– single-channel pressure regulators regulate one of the two output connec-
tions: either output connection 2 or 4. The second output connections is
uncontrolled.
– Two-channel pressure regulators regulate both output connection 2 and
4.
• Shutoff modules: You can manually shut off output connections 2 and 4.
– You can lock manually operated shutoff modules to prevent unintentional
release.
– Electrically and pneumatically operated shutoff modules feature position
detection.
• Throttle module: The throttle module can be used to mechanically reduce
the flow to output connections 2 and 4 of a valve independent of each other.
– Uni-directional throttle modules reduce the flow from the operating line
to the valve system. Due to a non-return valve, the flow from the valve sys-
tem to the operating line almost unreduced.
– Bi-directional throttle modules reduce the flow in both directions.
5.1 Product identification
Check the part number on the rating plate to determine whether the function
u
module matches your order.
5.2 Mounting orientation
Exhaust modules, pressure regulators, throttle modules, and pneumatically oper-
ated shutoff modules can have any mounting orientation if used with dry and oil-
free compressed air.
Manually operated shutoff modules must be fastened so that the lock points up-
wards. A deviation of up to ±90° is permissible.
