3.3 - INSTALLATION IN PLACES WHERE THERE IS THE RISK OF EXPLOSION (DIRECTIVE 2014/34/EU)
The solenoid valve complies with Directive 2014/34/EU as a device of group II, category 3G and as device of group II, category
3D; consequently, it is suited for installation in zones 2 and 22 as classified in Annex I of Directive 99/92/EC. The solenoid
valve is NOT suitable for use in zones1, 21, 0 and 20, as defined in aforementioned Directive 99/92/EC. To determine the
qualification and size of the hazardous zones, please refer to standard IEC EN 60079-10-1.
If installed and subject to maintenance in full compliance with all conditions and technical instructions provided in this manual, the
device does not pose a source of specific hazards: in particular, under conditions of normal operation, it is not expected for the
solenoid valve to emit a flammable substance into the atmosphere with methods such as to originate an explosive atmosphere.
During installation and maintenance, it is imperative to comply with the Ex standards, in particular EN 60079-14. Electrical
installation must be carried out by authorised personnel in accordance with relative national regulations.
Do not install the appliance in explosive atmospheres except for the specified gas and dust groups and areas (as explained
in section 2.0 and 6.1).
The subsequent application of a non-conductive coating with a thickness of > 0.2mm on the external surface prohibits its use
in environments with potentially explosive atmospheres where group IIC Gases are present. The thickness of the coating must
be < 2mm for group IIB.
For group III it is necessary to take appropriate precautions to prevent the accumulation of electrostatic charges (e.g. cleaning
with an antistatic cloth, etc.).

4.0 - MANUAL RESET
To reset the solenoid valve:
• Ensure the solenoid valve is NOT powered;
• Close the flow downstream of the solenoid valve in order to balance the pressure between upstream and downstream when
opening.
• Versions without CPI (see fig. 1):
• Loosen completely and remove the protective cover (2);
• Using a size 32 commercial spanner:
• Turn the reset knob (1) slightly clockwise and wait a few seconds for the pressure upstream and downstream of
the valve to stabilise;
• After balancing the pressure, turn the reset knob (1) clockwise to stroke end, until it is coupled;
• Remove the commercial spanner from the knob (1), then tighten the protective cover (2) back into its original position.
Or seal it in that position.
