1 USING KÄMMER VALVES AND ACTUATORS
CORRECTLY
1.1 General
The following instructions are designed to assist in
unpacking, installing and performing maintenance as
required on Kämmer products. Product users and
maintenance personnel should thoroughly review this
bulletin prior to installing, operating or performing
any maintenance.
DANGER: In most cases Kämmer valves and actuators
are designed for specific applications (e.g. with regard
to medium, pressure, temperature). For this reason
they should not be used in other applications without
first contacting the manufacturer.
1.2 Terms concerning safety
The safety terms DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and
NOTE are used in these instructions to highlight
particular dangers and/or to provide additional
information on aspects that may not be readily
apparent.
DANGER: indicates that death, severe personal injury
and/or substantial property damage will occur if

or property damage can occur if proper precautions
are not taken.
NOTE: indicates and provides additional technical
information, which may not be very obvious even to
qualified personnel.
Compliance with other, not particularly emphasised
notes, with regard to transport, assembly, operation
and maintenance and with regard to technical
documentation (e.g. in the operating instruction,
product documentation or on the product itself) is
essential, in order to avoid faults, which in themselves
might directly or indirectly cause severe personal
injury or property damage.
1.3 Protective clothing
Kämmer products are often used in problematic
applications (e.g. extremely high pressures, dang-
erous, toxic or corrosive mediums). In particular
valves with bellows seals point to such applications.
When performing service, inspection or repair
operations always ensure, that the valve and actuator
are depressurised and that the valve has been cleaned
and is free from harmful substances. In such cases
pay particular attention to personal protection
(protective clothing, gloves, glasses etc.).
1.4 Qualified personnel
Qualified personnel are people who, on account of
their training, experience and instruction and their
knowledge of relevant standards, specifications,
accident prevention regulations and operating
conditions, have been authorised by those responsible
for the safety of the plant to perform the necessary
work and who can recognise and avoid possible
dangers.
1.5 Installation
DANGER: Before installation check the order-no,
serial-no. and/or the tag-no. to ensure that the valve/
actuator is correct for the intended application.
Do not insulate extensions that are provided for hot
or cold services.
Pipelines must be correctly aligned to ensure that the
valve is not fitted under tension.
