BURKERT 20092069 Type 8640 modular valve island for pneumatics. Features 16.5mm width, 8x 3/2 valve function C, G 3/8 ports, collective socket module, and IP20 protection.

The BURKERT 20092069 Type 8640 modular valve island is designed to solve diverse and complex control problems due to its systematic modular construction and combination of pneumatic and electrical interfaces. By putting together a row of pneumatic modules with different numbers of valves, 2 to 24 valve functionalities may be realized on one valve unit. Electrical connectivity is achieved by either fieldbus interfaces, common connection (parallel connection technique) or multipin interfaces. The valves allow different applications to be covered. Bodies and connection modules are made of high-quality plastic (polyamide) and are easy to assemble by means of the built-in snap connectors.

DANGER!
Risk of injury due to high pressure and escaping medium. ▶ Switch off the pressure before working on the device or system. Vent or drain the pipes.
Risk of injury due to electric shock. ▶ Switch off voltage before working on the device or system. Secure against reactivation. ▶ Observe any applicable accident prevention and safety regulations for electrical devices.
WARNING!
Risk of injury from quickly accelerating device parts and unconnected compressed air hoses flapping around. ▶ Before applying pressure to the valve, check all hose connections and fittings for tight, secure fit.

Standard rail installation:
Wall installation: ▶ Fasten the valve block directly to the wall with M4 screws.
NOTE!
Note the assignment of the connections:
Requirements for hose lines:

| Fault | Possible cause | Remedy |
|---|---|---|
| Valves do not switch | No operating voltage or operating voltage too low | Check electrical connection. Ensure operating voltage according to type label. |
| Manual override not in zero position | Bring manual override to zero position. | |
| Pressure supply insufficient or not available | Set up large-volume pressure supply. Minimum operating pressure ≥ 2 bar. | |
| Valves switch with a delay or blow off at the exhaust ports | Pressure supply insufficient or not available | Set up large-volume pressure supply. Minimum operating pressure ≥ 2 bar. |
| Valves are not in the home position (de-energised) during pressure build-up | Apply pressure to the valve block before the valves are switched. | |
| Insufficient ventilation of the exhaust air ducts due to too small or dirty silencers | Use suitably sized silencers or expansion vessels. Clean the dirty silencers. | |
| Impurities or foreign matter in the pilot or pneumatic valve | Apply pulsed pressure to the exhaust air ducts to blow out the impurities. Install a new pilot or pneumatic valve. | |
| Leaky valve blocks | Missing or crushed O-rings between the modules | Identify leak or missing seals. |
| Missing or incorrectly positioned flat seals between valve and base plate | Insert missing seals or replace damaged seals. |
