FUNCTIONS
- The function of the pressure reducer is to reduce and stabilize the pressure of a gas; the reducer changes the pressure at which the gas is kept in the cylinder into the pressure needed to use the gas.
- The pressure reducer has been designed so as to be used only and exclusively with the type of gas and at the pressure which are shown by the marking.
- To try and use the pressure reducer with types of gasses and pressures other than those indicated can bedangerous.
CAUTIONS
- Incorrect use of the pressure reducer can cause serious damage. Users must be trained by specialist engineers.
- The pressure reducer must be treated as a precision instrument. Protect it from accidental knocks, dust, oil and other sources of dirt.
- Do not use the pressure reducer if it is not in perfect working condition.
- When you draw gas, the cylinder must be placed upright and protected from falling.
ASSEMBLY
Connection of the pressure reducer
- Check that the pressure reducer is correct both for the type of gas and the pressure in the cylinder in use.
- Turn the pressure adjusting screw (6) anticlockwise, to check that the pressure reducer valve is closed.
- Replace the gasket (2) if it is damaged or lost and any time you change the cylinder.
- Before screwing on the pressure reducer, briefly open the cylinder valve (1) then close to remove any impurity, in case using compressed air. Pay attention to direct the cylinder outlet towards a wall and far from heating sources.
- During this operation it is dangerous to stand, or place your hands in front of the cylinder valve (1).
- Position the pressure reducer with the gauges the right way up.
- Screw the inlet connection (3) tightly to the cylinder valve, using a spanner.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Opening
- Slowly open the cylinder valve (1). The high pressure gauge (4) will show you the cylinder pressure.
- Opening the cylinder valve too quickly may make gauges malfunction.
- Open the pressure adjusting screw (6) very slowly. The low pressure gauge (5) will show the outlet pressure.
CAUTIONS
Before opening the cylinder valve (1), check carefully that the reducer is
completely closed (turn the pressure adjusting screw (6) anticlockwise).
How to regulate pressure
- To increase pressure: slowly turn the reducer pressure adjusting screw (6) clockwise.
- To decrease pressure: slowly turn the reducer pressure adjusting screw (6) anticlockwise.
CAUTIONS
Using the pressure adjusting screw (6) it is possible to compensate an
eventual pressure drop. Outlet pressure must not be regulated higher than the
pressure you need to use. Outlet pressure must not be regulated higher than
the red mark on the low pressure gauge (5).
Closing
- Close the cylinder valve (1).
- Release the gas until the reducer gauges indicate «zero».
- Turn the pressure adjusting screw (6) anticlockwise till it is completely closed.
STORAGE
- The pressure reducer must be treated as a precision instrument.
- When the pressure reducer is not to be used for long periods, store it in its wrapping or in its box , to prevent contact with dust, oil and other sources of dirt.
MAINTENANCE
- Do not carry out maintenance or repairs, other than the following.
- Use only original spare parts and accessories.
- Spare parts are available also from your retailer.
- In case of failures which cannot be repaired following these instructions, take your pressure reducer back to the retailer.
- Do not clean gauge glasses with petrol, solvents or any other kind of detergent.
Multifunctioning
- In case of mulfunction (e.g. leaks in the gauges or in the relief valves) stop use and close the cylinder valve (1) immediately.
- Unless there is visible damage to the outside of the instrument, we suggest that the pressure reducer be returned to the supplier to be checked and repaired.
CAUTIONS
Do not use the pressure reducer if there are the following malfunctions:
- The gasket (2) is damaged or lost.
- The pressure reducer or any of its parts (gauge, inlet connection, outlet connection) are damaged or dirty, oily etc.
- There are any leaky connections.
- The relief valve adjustment has been modified or the valve leaks.
Relief valve
- For safety reasons, the pressure reducer is equipped with an excess pressure valve.
- In case of mulfunctioning, this valve allows the gas pressure in excess to escape
CAUTIONS
Do not modify the calibration of the relief valve.
Checking the seal
- This check must be carried out only in the open air: use either soapy water or a gas leak detector. Do not use flames.
- Spray detector on the area to be checked.
- The forming of bubbles or foam is a sign of a leak.
