About this product

3/2-shut-off valves, and 3/2-directional valves AS filling valves are components of maintenance units.
3/2-shut-off valves are used to shut off the supply of compressed air mechanically or pneumatically.
3/2-directional valves that enable electrical switching of compressed air can be customized to different requirements via various coils and plates.
3/2-directional valves with end position detection are used to detect the position of the control piston via a sensor. An output signal is supplied on the connected sensor when the valve is in its inactive position (2 3 = exhaust). Sensor switching is also visible on the front plate (on AS3) and rear plate (on AS5). Filling valves permit the controlled application of compressed air on the system.

Assembly, commissioning, and operation

DANGER
The danger of fire Overcurrent, e.g. resulting from a short circuit, can cause overheating and fires. u Provide for overcurrent protection as per EN 60204-1 if the current in any
the circuit can exceed either the rated value for a component or the current carrying capacity of the conductor, whichever is the lower value.
CAUTION
The danger of injury if assembled under pressure or voltage! Assembling when under pressure or electrical voltage can lead to injuries and damage to the product or system components.

1. Make sure that the relevant system component is not under voltage or pressure before you assemble the product.

CAUTION
Sudden rise in pressure during commissioning!
The system is exposed to sudden pressure on commissioning if no SSU filling unit is used! This may result in dangerous erratic cylinder motions. u Please ensure when commissioning a system without an SSU filling unit that the cylinders are in their end position or that no danger can emit from those not in end position.
During commissioning 1. Let the product acclimatize for several hours before commissioning, otherwise, water may condense in the housing. 2. Check that all the electrical and pneumatic connections are allocated or closed. Only commission fully installed products.
5.6 Filling valve SSV
Filling valves or units must not be mounted in front of open consumers (such as nozzles, air barriers, air curtains or condensate reservoirs) of filters and filter regulators with fully automatic condensate drains (“open without pressure” version), as they may prevent component switching.
5.6.1 Pneumatically operated
See Fig. 9
Adjust filling time
The filling valve prevents a sudden build-up of pressure when the system is commissioned. The filling time can be changed on the adjustment screw. (The screw position varies depending on the series.)

1. Remove the adjustment screw lock (a) (if fitted).
2. Turn the adjustment screw (e.g. with a screwdriver) in a clockwise direction to lengthen the filling time or in an anti-clockwise direction to shorten the filling time.
3. Press the adjustment screw lock (a) into the adjustment screw (if fitted).

5.6.2 Pneumatically operated, adjustable filling time, and changeover pressure

Service and repairs

6.1 Cleaning and servicing

• Close all openings with suitable safety devices so that no cleaning agent can enter the system.
• Never use solvents or aggressive detergents. Only clean the product using a slightly damp cloth. Only use water and, if necessary, a mild detergent.
• Do not use high-pressure cleaners for cleaning.
• Do not use compressed air for cleaning (blowing off) the maintenance unit or equipment.

Disassembly and exchange

CAUTION
The danger of injury in case of disassembly or replacement under pressure or voltage! Disassembling or replacement when under pressure or electrical voltage may lead to injuries and damage to the product or system components.

1. Make sure that the relevant system part is not under pressure or voltage before disassembling the product or exchanging parts.
2. Protect the system against being restarted.

CAUTION
The danger of burns! The surfaces of adjacent system components can become hot during operation.
Let the system component cool off before disassembling it.

9.1 Change flow direction
See Fig. 14
No conversion is necessary on the AS1 series. The “right/left flow” version has a separate order number.
On delivery, the flow direction is from left (1, IN) to right (2, OUT). The following conversion on the product is necessary if the flow direction is to be changed:
Regular conversion (14-I)
On almost all components, the flow direction change is performed by rotating an installation by 180° around the vertical axis. The housing covers need to be changed for the purpose.

1. Remove the housing cover on the front and rear and replace on the opposite side (the order number can now be read off at the front).
2. Mount components at a position 180° around the vertical axis.

Conversion for AS2 shut-off valves and filling valves in all series (14-II)
As the exhaust is at the rear on these components, the housing cover cannot be changed over.
Install the components rotated 180° around the lateral axis to change the flow direction.

Troubleshooting

Maximum permissible pressure, temperature range, and thread connection are indicated on the products.
