The document describes a Mixproof valve system with 2 cams, 3 PNP sensors, and 3 normally closed solenoid valves. It includes an AS-i card for 360° operation and uses an M12 8-pin connector. Wiring involves various color-coded wires for different signals and power supplies.
- Checking/Unpacking/Lifting: Ensure the control unit is undamaged and matches the order. Dispose of packaging materials according to local regulations. Exercise caution during lifting to avoid injury or damage.
- Installation: Ensure all wires and components are securely connected. Disconnect electrical and pneumatic connections before operations.
- Pneumatic Connections: Use 6 mm diameter pipes, cut with appropriate tools to prevent damage. Ensure pipes are of suitable length for easy removal.
- Troubleshooting: Provides solutions for common issues such as air leaks, non-functioning LEDs, and sensor problems. Includes checking connections and replacing damaged components.
- Cleaning: Use non-abrasive detergents and rinse with clean water. Avoid high-pressure water jets and ensure disconnections during cleaning.
- Disposal: Recycle the device according to local laws, considering hazardous residues. Follow specific steps for disconnection and dismantling.
- Maintenance: No special maintenance required if used correctly. Repairs should be done by authorized personnel. Use only Bardiani Valvole S.p.A. spare parts to avoid hazards.
The valve system complies with CE directives for machinery and electromagnetic compatibility. It adheres to EN ISO 12100:2010 and relevant regulations for materials in contact with products.
Bardiani Valvole S.p.A. offers a 12-month warranty against design, construction, and material defects. The warranty covers repair or replacement but excludes elastomers and electrical components. It does not cover faults due to improper transport, installation, or maintenance.

General safety warnings Intended Use The control unit has been designed to control the pneumatically controlled process valves manufactured by Bardiani Valvole S.p.A.. It is possible to fit the Giotto Top with a maximum of three solenoid valves for controlling the process valve and up to a maximum of four inductive sensors, including an external one for controlling the position. For the electrical connections inside the control unit, there are three different configurations: • LED terminal block and As-i card: the LEDs indicate, in the presence of the relative inductive sensor, the status of...

WARNING The control unit contains circuits classified as LOW VOLTAGE LIMITED ENERGY CIRCUIT. For correct use in North America dimension the protection circuits in accordance with Standard UL508A. WARNING ALWAYS make sure the electrical and pneumatic connections are NOT active when executing operations on the Giotto Top and that the power supply voltage is only 24 Vdc. Under normal circumstances (exposure time, eye pupils, viewing distance) it is assumed that the LEDs do not present any danger to eyes. In principle, however, please remember that intense light sources have a high potential of secondary...
