iNOXPA C-TOP+ Notice D'utilisation page 6

4 Application
The C-TOP+ is intended for detecting operating statuses and to control pneumatic-
ally-operated process valves in process engineering systems – e.g. ball valves,
butterfly valves, single-seated valves and double-seated valves.
®
Process valves from INOXPA are suitable, because they have a pneumatic
actuator with a control rod which is directed outwards. The cylinder diameter,
control rod diameter and the length of the outwardly-directed control rod must be
within the following range:
Required dimensions:
– Cylinder diameter:
Ö D [mm]: 58 ... 219
– Distance of mounting holes:
A [mm]: 35
– Max. overall length incl. magnet:
Hmax [mm]: max. 130
– Control rod retracted:
Lmin [mm]: 45
– Control rod extended:
Lmax. [mm]: 115
– Control rod diameter:
Ö B [mm]: 12 ... 22
The following actuators and process valves from INOXPA are suitable for combina-
tion with the enclosed adapter plate:
– Vertical actuator T1, T2 and T3
– Single-seated valve DN 25/100
– Double-seated valve DN 40/100
– INNOVA SSV DN 25/100
– INNOVA DSV DN 40/100
– VEEVALV 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, when equipped with a suitable adapter.
5 Transport and storage
Ensure storage conditions as follows:
– Short storage times in cool, dry, shaded and corrosion-resistant storage
locations.
6 Requirements for product use
Installation and commissioning are to be carried out only by qualified personnel in
accordance with the operating instructions.
Specifications on the design and addressing of your bus system can be found in
the manual for the AS-Interface master.
Note
Improper handing can cause malfunctions or damage to the product.
• Make sure that all the instructions in this chapter are always observed. The
product will then function correctly and safely.
• Compare the maximum values specified in these operating instructions with
your actual application (e.g. pressures, forces, torques, masses, speeds,
temperatures). The product can only be used in compliance with the relevant
safety guidelines if the maximum load limits are observed.
• All applicable national and international regulations must be complied with.
• Take into consideration the legal regulations applicable for the destination, as
well as:
– regulations and standards,
– Rules of the testing organizations, associations and insurers,
– national specifications.
• Take into consideration the ambient conditions at the location of use. Corrosive
environments reduce the service life of the product.
• Remove the packaging except for the adhesive labels on the compressed air
supply ports (danger of contamination).
• The material used in the packaging has been specifically chosen for its
recyclability (exception: oil paper = residual waste).
• Use the product in its original status, without any unauthorised product
modifications.
• Protect the device from fluctuations in pressure and excess operating
temperature. Use control valves for regulating pressure and excess pressure.
• Observe the documentation for the components that you use in combination
with the C-TOP+ (e. g. actuator, process valve, etc.).
• Make sure the compressed air is properly prepared (
section 13).
• Use only unlubricated compressed air under normal conditions.
The product has an initial lubrication which is suffice for its entire service life.
Using lubricated compressed air flushes out the initial lubrication. The product
may then only be operated with lubricated compressed air.

7 Installation
Note
Ferrous materials (e.g. steel parts and sheets) in the immediate vicinity of
proximity switches (sensors) can result in unwanted switching signals.
• During assembly, maintain the required minimum distances from ferrous
materials.
The hood must be removed for the purpose of inspection and maintenance
measures.
• Make sure there is a free space of at least 120 mm above the hood, so that the
hood can be removed without problems.
Caution
Unintended movements of the control rod during assembly can cause damage.
• Before starting assembly work, make sure the compressed air and power
supply are switched off and the actuator of the process valve is pressureless.
• Secure the system against accidental restarting.
An adapter plate is supplied with the C-TOP+ for mounting on the specified actuat-
ors ( section 4). The adapter plate has 2 through-holes to facilitate mounting.
When mounting make sure the connection surfaces and seals are clean.
Before mounting
1. Make sure the actuator is in a safe, exhausted position.
2. Ensure there is no tension or pressure applied.
3. Secure system against accidental restarting.
Mount sealing rings, adapter plate and magnet
The actuator must be initially prepared on the mounting of the C-TOP+.

Mounting the C-TOP+
When mounting, make sure the C-TOP+ is appropriately aligned. As a rule, the
pneumatic ports of the actuator and the C-TOP+ must be situated on the same side
and the LED must be easily visible.
