EB 3018 EN 10-1Decommissioning10 DecommissioningThe work described in this section is only tobe performed by personnel appropriatelyqualified to carry out such tasks.Risk of bursting due to incorrect opening ofpressurized equipment or components.Regulators and pipelines are pressure equip-ment that may burst when handled incor-rectly. Flying projectile fragments or the re-lease of process medium under pressure cancause serious injury or even death.Before working on the regulator:Î Depressurize all plant sections concernedand the regulator.Î Drain the process medium from all theplant sections concerned as well as thevalve.Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock.Î Upon installation of the electric cables,you are required to observe the regula-tions concerning low-voltage installationsaccording to DIN VDE 0100 as well asthe regulations of your local power sup-plier.Î Use a suitable voltage supply whichguarantees that no dangerous voltagesreach the device in normal operation orin the event of a fault in the system orany other system parts.DANGER!DANGER!Î Only perform the electrical connectionafter switching off the supply voltage.Make sure the supply voltage cannot beswitched on again unintentionally.Observe the relevant safety regulations onmounting or removing the electric actuator.Before removing the electric actuator fromthe valve, disconnect the power supply andprotect it against inadvertent reconnection.Risk of burn injuries due to hot or coldcomponents and pipeline.Regulator components and the pipeline maybecome very hot or cold. Risk of burn inju-ries.Î Allow components and pipelines to cooldown or warm up to the ambient tem-perature.Î Wear protective clothing and safetygloves.Risk of personal injury due to pressurizedcomponents and process medium beingdischarged.Î Do not loosen the control line while thevalve is pressurized.WARNING!
