(media flow under valve seat). 5.2 Safety function Single-acting valves The safety function consists of taking the initial position on request. The request is made by removing the operating pressure. Valves with control function NO: The valve opens completely and remains open until operating pressure is applied. Valves with control function NC: The valve closes completely and remains closed until operating pressure is applied. Double-acting valves The safety function consists of taking the desired position on request. Supply of external energy is required for this. 5.3 Operating conditions General notes on safe operation Chapter 2. Periodic tests (performance test) Chapter 12.

6 Product overview 6.1 Design 9 8 7 5 1 2 3 4 5 6 6.3 Function The angle seat valve VZXA-...-M is an externally controlled 2/2-directional control valve with diaphragm actuator. The valve seat is slanted around 40 toward the medium flow. To close the valve, the valve actuator using the actuator rod presses the valve disc into the valve seat in a force fit. The supply of the operating medium is controlled by an external valve (usually electrically controlled) that must be additionally integrated into the supply line for the actuator. The actuator can be rotated 360 on the valve housing. Flow over valve seat The valve is closed by spring force with the medium flow. Medium pressure supports valve closing. The valve is opened with operating pressure. Only suitable for gaseous media, because use of incompressible media causes pressure surges in the piping. Flow under valve seat The valve is closed by spring force or with operating pressure against the medium flow. Medium pressure supports the valve opening. In certain constructions, medium pressure that is too high or operating pressure that is too low can lead to the valve not completely closing.
