Installation
10.5 Pneumatic connection
DANGER!
Risk of injury from high pressure in the system/device.
▶ Before working on the system or device, switch off the pressure
and vent/drain lines.
Observe the following for the proper functioning of the
device:
▶ The installation must not cause back pressure to build up.
▶ To make the connection, select a hose with sufficient
cross section.
▶ Design the exhaust air line in such a way that no water or
other liquid can get into the device through the exhaust
air port (3 or 3.1).
Exhaust air concept:
▶ In compliance with the degree of protection IP67, an
exhaust air line must be installed in the dry area.
▶ Always maintain an applied control pressure of at least
0.5 ... 1 bar above the pressure which is required to
move the pneumatic actuator to its end position.
This ensures that the control behavior is not negatively
affected in the upper stroke range on account of too little
pressure difference.
▶ During operation, keep the fluctuations of the control
pressure as low as possible (max. ±10 %).
If fluctuations are greater, the control parameters mea-
sured with the X.TUNE function are not optimum.
