Safety products are shipped with operating instructions which include functional safety data (B10D, DC, and CCF), installation information, initial test procedures, and technical specifications. All safety products must be installed according to the instructions and technical specifications to ensure proper operation.

Functional Safety Data (B10D, DC, and CCF)

This data will help you establish expectations in the product’s life cycle with single event or eventual product end, along with understanding the effectiveness of the available diagnostics.

Installation Information

All safety products must be installed according to the instructions to ensure proper operation. Mechanical Installation, Pneumatic Installation, and Pneumatic and Electrical Connection instructions must be adhered to in addition to observing any noted cautions.

Initial Test Procedures

Test procedures confirm valve and sensor functions along with leak detection. Test procedures assume all pressure is removed from the system and all solenoids are de-energised prior to beginning the procedure. Good Test Procedures are intended for use with “Application examples” and confirm normal valve and sensor function during fault conditions, and detect leakage during fault conditions. All steps of the test should be performed periodically as determined by the user’s risk assessment. ROSS Controls suggests this should be at least once per month.
