5.4.6 Valves
The valves direct the air to the pneumatic drives. The connection is made via the
valve's base plate.
• 2x 3/2 directional valves (2 independent valves in one housing)
• 5/2 and 5/3-directional valves

Yellow control button: press and turn
Red control button: press without detent
2. LED (yellow): An illuminated LED indicates that the assigned solenoid coil is
energized.
In valves with two solenoids, the solenoids are correspondingly labeled "12"
and "14".
3. Mounting screw: oval-head screw M2.5, Torx T8 acc. to ISO 10664

6 Assembly
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.
1. Make sure that the relevant system component is not under voltage or
pressure before you assemble the product.
2. Protect the system against being restarted.
Damage to the valve system due to improper handling
When removing the valve system from its packaging, the valve system can be
damaged due to bending, especially with long devices.
Carefully remove the valve system packaging and provide safeguards
u
against torsion and bending.
6.1 Mounting options
The following options exist for mounting the valve system, see Figs. 21 and 22.
6.1.1 Assemble the valve system on the mounting surface
Additional stabilization of the base plates and I/O modules with retaining
brackets
If there are more than 16 valve positions and 3 I/O modules in the valve system
AV, the valve system may be damaged if subjected to vibration.
1. Avoid vibrations and shocks!
2. Stabilization with additional retaining brackets (1). The valve system does
not need to be disassembled for this step.

NOTICE
NOTICE
With the AV03-SW valve system it is not possible to mount retaining
brackets.
Rule of thumb: If there are 17 or more valve positions, an additional retaining
bracket is required for every additional 8 valve positions. Example:
- 17 valve positions = 1 retaining bracket
- 25 valve positions = 2 retaining brackets
- 33 valve positions = 3 retaining brackets, and so on.
The width of an AV-EP base plate corresponds to the width of four valve posi-
tions.
You can purchase retaining brackets from our sales department or
through our online catalog using the order number R412018339.
Assemble the valve system on a level surface using at least four screws (2).
u
Note the dimensions of the valve system.
Fig. 21 shows the following assembly examples:
• Valve system AV with D-Sub connection at top (A)
• Valve system AV with bus coupler and I/O modules (B)
• Valve system AV, DIN rail mounting (C)
Fig. 22 shows the following assembly example:
• Valve system AV with bus coupler and I/O modules (D)
Select a type of fastening that corresponds to the load (vibrating,
shock or oscillating load)!
Ensure that enough free space is left for the electrical and pneumatic
connections so that the permissible minimum bending radii for the ca-
bles and tubing are adhered to.
6.1.2 Series AV
Assembling the valve system on the DIN rail
See Fig. 21–C
Note the assembly instructions for DIN rail R412019467.
The AV-BP series cannot be mounted on a DIN rail.
Exceeding the maximum number of modules for hat rail mounting!
The valve system must not be equipped with more than the maximum number
of components to prevent damage caused by oscillations and vibrations during
operation.
After maximum equipment of the valve system, we recommend no longer
u
assembling the valve system on a DIN rail (see table "Maximum valve sys-
tem equipment").
