2 Dismantling at the end of the service life and disposal
We strongly advise against dismantling the thermostat by hand.

2.1 Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) in electrical equipment
Fig. 3 shows how a Type 2489 Flow Regulator (self-operated regulator) is combined with a Type 57xx/58xx Electric Actuator andZa control thermostat (e.g. Type 2430). Such a combination
at SAMSON is designated a "Type 2488/2489/... Pressure-independent Control Valve (PICV)" with an additional thermostat connection (u T 3135).

2.2 Data on use of solders containing lead
Passivation of operating elements was changed over to trivalent chromium on 1 April 2012. Conversion to lead-free solders took
place on 1 April 2017 (sections 1.2 and 2.1). Stocks with a production date before 1 April 2017 are delivered to SAMSON customers for non-electrical use only. Soldered joints and electroplated surfaces as an individual material contain the following (pure)chemical substance in concentrations (% w/w) per individual homogeneous material:–Pb (lead) >0.1 %–Chromium (VI)/Cr(VI) >0.1 %Location of use for former
solders containing lead (until1 April 2017)

Location of use for former hexavalentchromium corrosion protection film (before
1 April 2017)

2.3 Information on safe handling
Solders with lead compounds and hexavalent chromium corrosion protection films are hazardous substances in solid materials (seeu https://gestis.dguv.de). They are located in a sealed housing. As a result, no direct contact with the substance will occur undernormal, foreseeable conditions and when used as intended. Contact with lead or hexavalent chromium cannot be ruled out whendismantling the thermostat. To prevent such contact and ensure the safe handling of the article, observe the following instructions
on safe use:
–Main routes of entry: In the industrial context, lead compounds are mainly absorbed by inhalation (see GESTIS (CLP) hazardous substance database [07783]). The main route of entry for metallic chromium (MC) is via the respiratory tract (see GESTIS(CLP) hazardous substance database [07619]). This especially applies to mechanical processing (section 2.6).

–Sections 2.4 to 2.6 describe the measures to be taken during dismantling by hand and during shredding. The device is often
not repaired for cost reasons. The majority of recycling and disposal experts handle heavy metals and explosive gases responsibly and apply good engineering practice.

2.4 Organizational safety measuresÎ If more than one low hazard has been identified:
Instruction on the hazards and safety measures as specified in the working instructions (TRGS 555) with signed confirmation isrequired.
Î Instruction must be given before commencing the work and then at least once a year.
Î The MAK Commission's carcinogenic rating for this substance must be clearly indicated.

4R 0001 EN

Î Make sure that the workplace limits are observed. If the limits are exceeded, additional protection measures according to theGerman legislation for hazardous substances (GefStoffV) are necessary.
Î Record and retain records.
Î The number of employees who handle the hazardous substance must be kept as low as possible.
Î The employment restrictions for young people as stipulated in the Youth Labour Act must be observed.
Î The job restrictions for pregnant women according to the maternity protection regulations must be observed.
Î The job restrictions for breastfeeding women according to the maternity protection regulations must be observed.

2.5 Personal safety measures
Body protection:
Î Depending on the risk, wear tight protective clothing.
Respiratory protection:
Î In an emergency (e.g. unintentional release of the substance, the occupational exposure limit has been exceeded), respiratory
protection must be worn. Consider the maximum period for wear.
Respiratory protection: Particle filter A, Color code whiteÎ Use isolating apparatus for concentrations above the usage limits for filtering apparatus, for oxygen concentrations below
17 %, or in circumstances which are unclear.
Eye protection:
Î Wear appropriate eye protection.
Î Wear goggles with side shields.
Hand protection:
Î Wear safety gloves. The glove material must be sufficiently impermeable and resistant to the substance. Check for defects before wearing. Before removing, wash the gloves well. Store them in a well ventilated location.
Î Pay attention to skin care. Skin protection cremes do not protect sufficiently against the substance. Currently, there is no information available regarding suitable glove materials. Experience has shown that polychloroprene, nitrile rubber, butyl rubber,
fluorocarbon rubber and polyvinyl chloride are suitable as glove materials for protection against insoluble solid substances.
Industrial hygiene:
Î No food or beverages or other articles of consumption must be consumed in the work areas. Suitable areas must be designated for these purposes.
Î Avoid contact with skin. In case of contact, wash skin.
Î Avoid inhalation of dust.
Î Avoid contact with clothing. Change contaminated clothing and clean it thoroughly. The company is responsible for cleaning
the work clothing. Before rest breaks, change clothing, if necessary. Separate storage for street clothing and work clothing
must be provided if a risk through contamination of work clothing can be expected.
Î Wash skin with soap and water before rest breaks and after completing work. Apply moisturizing skincare products afterwashing. Pay attention to personal hygiene.
Î Regularly clean mouth and teeth.
Gas filling of some versions:Î See section 2. Customer information according to Article 33 of the REACH Regulation 1907/2006

2.6 Environmental protection measures
Î Avoid subjecting the thermostat to mechanical machining processes (e.g. drilling, grinding, hammering) or heat solders wherever possible.
Î Use an extraction system if dust is created during machining. Make sure the dust is not released into the sewage system.
Î Individual components are to be replaced by properly trained and instructed staff only. Make sure that these instructions areavailable to the staff before replacing any components.
Î Use the article as specified in the mounting and operating instructions (EB) or data sheet (T).
Î Waste treatment procedure during gas filling: EWC code 16 05 04* Gases in pressure containers (including halons) containing hazardous substances according to Directive 2008/98/EC
