Instruction manual

2 Safety Information

Any person in the company who is involved with the assembly, disassembly, reassembly,
installation, operation or maintenance (inspection, service and repair) of this MF module must
have read and understood this complete instruction manual, in particular this section on
safety information.
We recommend having this confirmed in writing.
Remember:
 The MF module may only be installed in perfect working order and these safety guidelines
must always be observed.
 Only qualified and authorized personnel may perform work on the MF module
 According to the Machine Directive 2014/68/EC, this MF module is not considered a
machine; it may, however, be built into an installation which is considered as such.
Making certain that these points are observed is the responsibility of the piping system
engineer/installer and the operator of such systems, into which the valve is built.

2.1 Due Care Required of the Operator

The MF module described herein was designed and manufactured with consideration to the
respective harmonized European standards. It corresponds to the latest technology and the
technical data/features contained under Section 4.
Safety on the job can, however, only be realized if the operator warrants that
 the instruction manual and the manual of the corresponding valve have been read and
understood and that the instructions contained therein are adhered to, and
 the necessary measures against electronic effects have been taken.

2.2 Special Hazards

Under normal conditions, the MF module may only be operated with the cover closed. If work
is performed on the MF module with the cover removed, the supply and control voltage must
first be disconnected. Adjustments which need to be done in the energized state should be
done with special insulated tools.
In addition, the operating instructions of the manual valve must also be observed. They are an
integral component of this manual.
If connected improperly, especially if the connection voltage is wrong, the built-in limit
switches can become damaged, and if signalization of the valve fails, considerable damage
can be caused to the system. The multifunctional module must also be protected from
mechanical influences; it is not permitted to use the ball valve with or without the mounted
MF module and/or actuator as a step ladder.
Permanent exposure to strong, aggressive chemical substances is prohibited.
