Series KN/F, KNP/F, KN-D/F, KNP-D/F 2 Page 6 Notes on safety This operating manual contains fundamental information which is to be observed during installation, operation and maintenance. It must therefore be read before installation and commissioning! For valves which are used in potentially explosive areas, see Chapter 3. Installation, operation and maintenance are to be performed by qualified staff. The area of responsibility, authority and supervision of the staff must be regulated by the customer.
Series KN/F, KNP/F, KN-D/F, KNP-D/F 3 Page 7 Safety notes for applications in potentially explosive areas based on the Directive 94/9/ EC (ATEX) The valves are intended for use in a potentially explosive area and are therefore subject to the conformity assessment procedure of the directive 94/9/EC (ATEX).
Series KN/F, KNP/F, KN-D/F, KNP-D/F 4 Safety note for valves, certified to German Clean Air Act (TA Luft) On request, this valve can be supplied compliant with the German Clean Air Code. Certificate / Manufacturer Declaration Validity is dependent on the operating instructions being read and observed. 5 In particular, servicing must be conducted at regular intervals, and the bolted connections relevant for tightness must be inspected and retightened if necessary.
Series KN/F, KNP/F, KN-D/F, KNP-D/F 6 Page 9 Installation Examine valve for in-transit damage, damaged ball valves must not be installed. Fig. 1 Al2O3-ball in closed position Before installation the valve and the connecting pipe must be carefully cleaned to remove any dirt, especially hard foreign matter. During installation, pay attention to the correct tightening torque, aligned pipes and tension-free assembly. Ensure that a remotely actuated actuator cannot be accidentally switched on. 6.
Series KN/F, KNP/F, KN-D/F, KNP-D/F 7 Operation 7.1 Initial commissioning Normally, the valves have been tested for leaks with air or water. Prior to initial operation check body bolting. For torques see Chapter 1.2. Unless otherwise agreed, there could be residual amounts of water in the flow section of the valve; this could result in a possible reaction with the medium.
Series KN/F, KNP/F, KN-D/F, KNP-D/F 9 Page 11 Maintenance All repair work is to be performed by qualified personnel using the appropriate tools. For the arrangement, designation and item numbers of all parts of the valve, see Chapter 10. Spare parts are to be ordered with all the details in acc. with the valve identification. Only original spare parts may be installed. To prevent leaks, a regular check of the connection screws should be made in line with the operating requirements.
Series KN/F, KNP/F, KN-D/F, KNP-D/F 9.3 Dismantling ball valve with ball and stem It is possible with a ball valve with ball and stem to replace the seat rings and ball without dismantling the entire ball valve. It is equally possible to remove the packing gland follower, spring gland follower and packing insert? without dismantling the body. The entire ball valve must merely be taken apart to remove the stem. For sectional drawings, see Section 10. 9.3.
Series KN/F, KNP/F, KN-D/F, KNP-D/F 9.5 Remove lever stop 577 and plug. Check the fits of the coupling 804, bracket 510 and actuator 850. Mount bracket 510 with the opening at right angles to the direction of flow. Mount coupling 804 and actuator 850. Observe the actuator position in accordance with the actuator operating manual. Conversion from lever to actuator Select the actuator in accordance with the instructions of the actuator manufacturer. Remove hand lever 203. 10 Page 13 Drawings 10.
