Safety • In the event of malfunctions, shut down the control top (disconnect from the power and air supply) and secure it against being used. • Before starting any service, maintenance or repair work, disconnect the control top from the power supply and secure it against inadvertently being switched back on again.
3.1.2 Control top without solenoid valves The T.VIS A-15 control top without solenoid valves acts as a position indicator. After programming, it indicates the status of the process valve locally by coloured LEDs under the illuminated dome so that it is visible over a long distance.
Fig.4: Control top with cap including buttons (standard variant in IP66) According to protection class IP66 (EN 60529) the control top T.VIS A-15 is suitable for use in this design and if the electrical and pneumatic connections are installed correctly.
Description Functional description 3.1.5 Control Top with Cap without Buttons Fig.5: Control Top with Cap without Buttons Fig.6: Circuit board (A) According to protection class IP67 and/or 69k (EN 60529) the control top T.VIS A-15 is suitable for use in this design and if the electrical and pneumatic connections are installed correctly.
Description 3.1.7 Safety Air Exhaust/Installation Position To provide protection against excess pressure which can build up in the inside of the control top, a vent plug E2 is fitted in the base. In operating mode, the exhaust air from the lifting actuators is discharged via this vent plug. In the unlikely event of a damaged solenoid valve or in case of sealing problems, pressure relief is ensured.
Transport and storage Storage conditions Transport and storage Storage conditions You must first dry and preserve the control top to prevent damage if the control top is exposed to temperatures ≤ 0°C during transport or storage. Hint! We recommend that the valve should be stored at a temperature of ≥ 5 °C for a period of 24 hours prior to any handling (disassembling the housings / activation of actuators) so that any ice crystals formed by condensation water can melt.

Start-up Safety notes Start-up Safety notes Initial commissioning For initial commissioning, the following principles apply: • Take protective measures against dangerous contact voltages in accordance with pertinent regulations. • The control top must be completely assembled and correctly adjusted. All screw connections must be securely tightened.
Once the control top has been properly mounted on the valve and the electrical connections have been established correctly, commissioning can be carried out. Since the T.VIS A-15 detects its solenoid valve fitting and therefore requires corresponding process valve conditions, the so-called special default must selected prior to SETUP in the event of a different.

If maintenance must be conducted on a process valve that is fitted with a control top T.VIS A-15, the valve core must be pulled out of the housing. For this purpose, the valve disk pretension of the process valve must be relieved by actuating the main actuator.

7.7.3 Hardware Description Three solenoid valves are installed in the control top T.VIS A-15: Solenoid valve Y1 – actuation of main valve Solenoid valve Y2 – lifting of lower seat Solenoid valve Y3 - lifting of the upper seat, these valves can be externally activated by signals from the PLC.
Start-up Test procedure for Tuchenhagen PMO valves type M / 2.0 The closed position of the upper seat is detected by proximity switch S3 that is installed externally on the lantern. The correct setting of this proximity switch for detecting the closed position of the upper seat is described in detail in the operating instructions of the M/2.0 valve and in Section 7.6, Page 73.
Page 77
Start-up pump or the source generating the cleaning solution pressure must switch off automatically. Hint! Please note that test procedure 2 has to be performed with great care. There is a danger of cleaning solution mixing with product if the control system interlocks are not working correctly.
If the tolerance is not set in accordance with the intended purpose, this can result in malfunctions of the valve. GEA Tuchenhagen will not accept any liability for damage resulting from improper setting: the risk lies entirely with the operator of the facility.
Page 79
This allows user-specific process sequences to be optimally set. For the reliable monitoring of the valve seat seal GEA Tuchenhagen recommends the factory setting without signal attenuation. GEA Tuchenhagen will not accept any liability for damage resulting from the use of signal attenuation.
