INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Solenoid operators, fl ameproof enclosure,
types LPKF/WSLPKF (+ R314LPKF)
These Installation and Maintenance Instructions for solenoid
operator types LPKF (aluminium enclosure) - WSLPKF (stain-
less steel AISI 316L enclosure) are a general supplement to
the specifi c I&M sheet for the solenoid valve. These opera-
tors are identifi ed by the prefi xes LPKF/WSLKF before the
catalogue number. Always use both I&M sheets for installing
and maintaining the solenoid valve.
DESCRIPTION
Essential Health and Safety Requirements: Solenoid op-
erators types LPKF/WSLPKF are designed in accordance
with IEC and EN Standards references: 60079-0, 60079-1
and 60079-31.
Classifi cation:
II2G Ex d IIB+H2 Gb T6...T4
II2D Ex t IIIC Db T 85°C... T 135°C IP67
All the certifi cates of Conformity in compliance with
these Standards are available at www.asconumatics.eu
EC type examination certifi cate no.: LCIE10 ATEX 3043 X
IECEx Certifi cate of Conformity no.: IIECEx LCI 10.0010X
INSTALLATION
Special conditions for safe use:
Our components are intended to be used only within the
technical characteristics specifi ed on the nameplate. Solenoid
operators Types LPKF/WSLKF are designed to be installed in
potentially explosive atmospheres caused by gases of groups
IIA, IIB and H2, vapours or mists of group II (EPL Gb) and
dusts of group III (EPL Db). The surface temperature classi-
fi cation is T6-T85°C/T5-T100°C/T4-T135°C and depends on
the power rating and ambient temperature stated on the coil.
Depending on the ambient temperature/power rating, a heat
resistant cable suitable for the temperature indicated on the
coil must be used.
The voltage indicated on the coil may only vary within a ±10%
range of the nominal voltage.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Wiring must comply with local and national regulations
concerning equipment for use in explosive atmospheres.
To prevent overloading and causing an ignition source,
a fuse or circuit breaker of maximum 100 mA must be
used.

NOTE: Alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC)
solenoids are built differently. To convert from one to the
other, it is necessary to change the complete solenoid

The power supply must be within the range specifi ed on the

nameplate. Failure to stay within the electrical range of the
coil rating will result in damage to or premature failure of the

do not touch the solenoid operator. It can become hot under
normal operation conditions. If the solenoid valve is easily
accessible, the installer must provide protection against ac-
cidental contact.
MAINTENANCE
For servicing, refer to the solenoid valve's Installation and
Maintenance Instructions.
Spare parts kits are available (contact us). If problems arise
during installation or maintenance or in case of doubt, please
contact us or one of our authorised representatives.
CAUTION: Prior to any maintenance work, power off and
depressurise the valve and vent fl uid to a safe area. Do
not open the solenoid operator if it has recently been
energised, wait 35 minutes before opening.
DISASSEMBLY AND RE-ASSEMBLY OF SOLENOID
OPERATOR ON VALVE:
This operation must be carried out by suitably qualifi ed per-
sonnel.
Unscrew the 4 screws and remove the cover.
Disconnect the electrical wires, remove the coil and its yoke.
Proceed in reverse order to re-install.
The solenoid operator must be fully reassembled as the hous-
ing and internal parts close the magnetic circuit.
Replacement of screw no. 1: Only use screws with 700 N/

mm
minimum tensile strength.
In case of replacement of parts by the user, the trace-
ability of the fi nal product cannot be guaranteed by us
and must be ensured by the user.
