Baker Hughes Masoneilan Instrucción Para La Instalación, Puesta En Marcha, Utilización Y Mantenimiento

The equipment that you have just bought was designed, manufactured and
tested in accordance with the essential safety requirements of the European
Directives ATEX 2014/34/EU.
Read these instructions carefully BEFORE installing, using or maintaining this
equipment.
Products intended for installation in a potentially explosive gas or
combustible dust atmosphere must:
 Be installed, put into service and maintained in compliance with
national and local regulations and in accordance with the
recommendations contained in the relevant standards concerning
potentially explosive atmospheres.
 Be installed, put into service and maintained by qualified and
competent professionals who have undergone suitable training for
instrumentation used in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Under certain operating conditions, the use of damaged instruments could
cause a degradation of the performances of the system, which may lead to
personal injury or death.
Use only genuine spare parts, from the manufacturer, to guarantee that the
products comply with the essential safety requirements of the European
Directives mentioned above.

INSTALLATION
Before proceeding with installation:
 Carefully unpack the equipment and check it is not damaged. In the case
of any damage, notify the manufacturer.
 Check the compatibility of the equipment with the installation zone
(Directive 99/92/EC).
 For reciprocating valves the maximum ambient temperature shall not
exceed 60°C.
 In case the instrument maximum certified temperature is lower than
60°C then the user shall ensure the actual ambient temperature is 10°C
below maximum the certified temperature. See catalogues available on
our Internet site at https://valves.bhge.com/resource-center.
 Comply with the heat insulation instructions recommended by the
manufacturer. In particular, do not heat insulate the bonnet.

atmospheres.
MARKING
Carry out the pneumatic and electrical connections of instruments after
checking that local conditions so allow. All instructions necessary for correct
and safe installation of instruments are available in the specific ATEX
instructions attached to the instruments. These instructions can also be
accessed on our Internet site https://valves.bhge.com/resource-center.
In particular:
 Ensure the installation complies with the applicable regulations and the
standards, and observe the instrument safety parameters.
 Connect the valve and electrical instruments to the ground.
 Respect the polarities of the electrical connection.
 Use cable entries that comply with ATEX regulation and are suitable for
the zone and the protection mode of the instrument.
Note for valves with optional Titanium body material:
This material may form incendive sparks under impact from any sufficiently
hard material, even in the absence of rust. Please consider the risk of such
impact and take steps to mitigate if considered necessary.
Before putting the valve into service, check that all the equipment is
correctly connected, grounded and the safety covers and screws are in place.
Use the valve within the temperature limits recommended by the
manufacturer (see paragraph on installation).
 Do not use the valve for any application other than that initially
specified.
 Ensure there is no friction between the stem shaft and the packing
follower of the stuffing box.
 Regularly check there is no fluid leakage in particular at the gaskets and
the stuffing box.
 Respect the instructions for use of electrical apparatus.
 Avoid any impact on the aluminum alloy shell.
 Do not rub the plastic covers of the valves, this could cause a risk of
electrostatic discharge which could lead to an explosion.
 Do not rub the paint coating of the valve when used in atmosphere with
gas group IIC, this could cause a risk of electrostatic discharge which
could lead to an explosion.
 Ensure the fluid does not carry particles likely to create a spark if the
inside of the valve could be considered as an ATEX zone.
MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out maintenance work, ensure local conditions are suitable
for the operations: Make sure that suitable safety equipment and protection
devices are available, taking into account the nature of the operations and
the zone where they are to be performed.
 Carry out the maintenance operations in compliance with the specific
instructions for the product concerned.
 Use only genuine spare parts, from the manufacturer.
 Remove deposits of combustible dust which may form on any exposed
surfaces.
 If you replace an actuator, it is imperative to retain the original
manufacturer's label and fix it to the new actuator.
 To avoid the production of sparks due to electrostatic discharges, it will
be advisable to follow the instructions of the code of practice EN
TR50404. For example, the user will proceed to the cleaning of the
equipment, and in particular the plastic components and coating, by
means of a wet rag. For safety reasons, this operation can be performed
only when the local conditions are not potentially explosive.
Surveillance of equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres: comply
with the regulations in force (Directive 99/92/EC).
