Compliance with Regulations
This product complies with the directive below.
• Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/63/EU
Requirements for workers (installation, operation, maintenance)
To ensure safety, only specialists who are skilled in instrumentation work should
carry out the installation, operation, and maintenance of this device.
Cautions on storage
When storing the control valve, pay attention to the following precautions:
• A control valve that has been packed in a cardboard box should be stored indoors
at normal temperature and humidity.
• A control valve that has been packed in a wooden crate should be stored indoors
at normal temperature and humidity as a rule. In the event outdoor storage, open
the crate, verify the specications of the unit and cover it with a polyethylene
protective sheet to guard against precipitation.
• When storing a used valve, follow the procedures described below:
(1) Flush out the process uid from inside the valve body and dry,
(2) When there is a possibility of the valve body rusting, preservation treatment
should be given,
(3) To prevent water from getting into the instrument, cover pneumatic tubing
connection and electric connector with watertight caps or tape. Also, protect
the connector threads,
(4) Place a ange cap onto the end of the pipe connecting surface (ange face,
butt welding connections) to avoid any possible damage.

4 : Installation
4-1 : Installation environments
CAUTION
• Ensure sucient space for easy and
safe operation and maintenance of
the control valve.
• Avoid installing the valve in a
location where vibration or external
stress may impair proper valve
functions. If necessary, make
appropriate provisions against these.
• Consider providing a support for
the valve, so that the process piping
is not burdened with the excessive
weight of valve, or provide supports
on the upstream and downstream
pipe runs.
• Provide a cover or protective fence
around the valve installation, when
a valve is installed facing a path
or if physical contact with valve is
expected.
• Do not install a valve where it is
submerged under the water, or snow or freezing may take place.
• Provide a wall for protection against heat radiation.
• Provide measures to protect the valve against salt spray or corrosive atmosphere.
• To stop operation of the Flowmeter:
- Switch the control equipment connected to the owmeter to manual control.
- To turn the power to the converter o.
CAUTION
• In order to guard against accident while handling the valve, always wear safety
gloves, goggles and safety shoes.

Prior to installation work, follow the items of caution as described below:
CAUTION
• Check and conrm that there is no external
damage to the valve (body, actuator,
accessories).
• Check and conrm that there is no damage
on pipe connecting anges or butt welding
connections.
• Ensure that the temperature of welded part
of pipe has been reduced before proceeding.
• Make sure that the anges on pipe have been
chamfered.
• Remove dust, sand, welding spatter or any
other foreign matter from the pipe and
clean out pipe. Any foreign matter will
damage the valve seat and reduces shut-o
characteristics.
• Ensure that upstream and downstream pipe
supports are suciently strong. Otherwise,
the valve's weight may cause leakage from
ange connections.

WARNING
• Operation of valve over and beyond the
rated pressure or connection other than
recommended of specied connection may
cause damage or leakage which may result
in serious injury.

4-2 : Installation work
CAUTION
• Ensure that centers of upstream and downstream pipes are aligned when pipe
installation has been completed. Any mis-alignment of pipe will distort the valve
and will cause leakage from the connections. (Gasket)
• Make sure that the face to face dimension of pipe anges is equal to face to face
dimension of valve body plus gasket thickness.
• When installing a buttery valve on a pipe, keep the valve body (vane or disk) in
the fully closed position. When lifting a valve using the eyebolts on the actuator,
make sure that the rated weight of the bolt does not exceed the limit given in
the instruction manual. A load in excess of the limitation will cause damage to
actuator or will result in air leakage.
• Use proper gaskets for pipe anges. Otherwise, process uid may leak. Always
use new gaskets for pipe anges that will meet process uid specications,
temperature and pressure
conditions. Otherwise
process uid leakage
may occur.
• When ushing pipes,
keep valve in the fully
open position and do not
stroke valve. Welding
spatter or foreign matter
may damage valve.
WARNING
When installing a valve on
a pipe, keep hands and feet
away from valve body's
bottom or from between
anges to avoid physical
injury.
When reinstalling the
valve after inspection,
maintenance or
modication, ush out
process uid remaining in
the pipe or replace it with
safer liquid.

4-3 : Pneumatic piping and electric work
CATUTION
• Pneumatic tubing should be sized so as not to
cause dropping of air pressure when the control
valve is in operation. Pneumatic tubing should
have an allowance in bend (use specialized
tool) and the parallel tubing should be clamped
together.
• Only qualied persons should do electrical
work in accordance to electrical facility
engineering standards.
• Cable connections should be made to conform
to the facility's conditions. A suitable adaptor
or packing should be selected to suit the outer
dimension of the completed installation.
• When using seal tape on pneumatic tubing, do
not apply tape on the rst two threads from
the tip of connector. This may block the air
passage and cause malfunction of the valve.
• When using liquid packing (seize lock) on
pneumatic tubing, care should be exercised
so the liquid does not leak into tubing. It
may block the air passage, resulting in valve
malfunction.
• Avoid electrical work in rainy weather or at a
time of high humidity. Any intrusion of water
into connector or terminal will cause rusting
and electrical leakage.
• Covers of accessories such as the positioner are
provided with a seal packing (gasket). Exercise
care so as not to misplace or lose them while
electrical work is in progress.
• Exercise care so as not to lose xing screws
of accessories such as the positioner. When
tightening screws, ensure that packing is in
place and tighten screws with an even torque.
• Cable threads and conduit seal should be
tightened so as to ensure that water does not
get in.

5 : Caution on disassembly and reassembly
5-1 : Disassembly
CATUTION
• When disassembling a spring-
incorporated positioner, follow the
prescribed procedure in removing
bolts and nuts. Otherwise, the spring
may pop out and could resulting in
physical injury.
• When the eye-bolts of actuator are
used to lift the valve from the pipe,
ensure that the weight limit given
in manual is adhered to. Otherwise,
there is the danger of dropping the
valve,
• When removing the trim (inner
valve) from the body, ensure that
the proper type of specialized tool is
used. Refer to the instruction manual
for the tools that should be used.
Otherwise, the trim may be damaged.

WARNING
• Before disassembling the valve,
ensure that the pressure within piping
has been reduced to atmospheric
pressure. Flow out of process uid
may cause physical injury.
• When disassembling the valve,
ush out the interior of the valve
or replace the uid inside. Residual
process uid may cause physical
injury,
• Do not disassemble the pneumatic
actuator with supply air on.
Compressed air may cause physical
injury.
