Mounting the actuation unit
-
Remove the protective cap from the extraction valve.
Close the actuation unit before attaching it. Risk of scalding!
-
Place the actuation unit onto the extraction valve.
-
Attach the actuation unit to the extraction valve. Do this by pushing the sliding sleeve over the holding clamp.
Control
Sample extraction
INFO!
Disinfect or sterilise the outlet pipe every time prior to sampling. Alternatively, you can sterilise the actuation unit in the autoclave.
The actuation unit can also be operated using a bleeding key when the handwheel is removed.
You might need to remove the handwheel in difficult installation situations prior to flame treatment.
-
Thermally or chemically disinfect or sterilise the outlet pipe, e.g. using flame treatment.
-
Open the valve using the handwheel and extract a water sample.
-
After extracting the sample, close the valve using the handwheel.
-
Release the sliding sleeve and remove the actuation unit.
-
Leave the extraction valve inside the unit and replace the protective cap.
Mounting the signage
INFO!
Sampling points must be labelled in such a way as to avoid confusion and in compliance with applicable guidelines, see Standards and regulations .
The signage (writeable) can be mounted in the following positions:
behind the removable handwheel
between extraction valve and protective cap
Signage behind the handwheel
-
Remove the handwheel from the actuation unit.
-
Attach the signage.
-
Re-attach the handwheel.
Signage between extraction valve and protective cap
INFO!
If the actuation unit is being taken away, attach the signage to the extraction valve.
-
Remove the protective cap from the extraction valve.
-
Attach the signage.
-
Re-attach the protective cap.
Disposal
Separate the product and packaging materials (e. g. paper, metal, plastic or non-ferrous metals) and dispose of in accordance with valid national legal requirements.
