Safety instructions and measures
Referenced standards and regulations
The devices comply with the requirements of the European Pressure Equipment Directive
2014/68/EU. Devices with a CE marking have an EU declaration of conformity, which in-
cludes information about the applied conformity assessment procedure. This EU declaration
of conformity is included in the Appendix of these instructions (see section 10.2).
Non-electric valve versions whose bodies are not lined with an insulating material coating do
not have their own potential ignition source according to the risk assessment stipulated in
EN 13463-1: 2009, section 5.2, even in the rare incident of an operating fault. Therefore,
such valve versions do not fall within the scope of Directive 2014/34/EU.
Î
For connection to the equipotential bonding system, observe the requirements specified in
section 6.4 of EN 60079-14 (VDE 0165 Part 1).

1.1 Notes on possible severe personal injury
DANGER
!
Risk of personal injury due to process medium escaping under pressure.
While removing the control thermostat/safety temperature monitor (STM)/safety tem-
perature limiter (STL) from the valve, the sealed-off valve is opened. Residual process
medium will escape and, depending on its properties, may lead to personal injury,
e.g. (chemical) burns.
Î
Depressurize the plant.
Î
First start up the regulator after mounting all parts.
Î
Wear protective clothing, safety gloves and eyewear.
