Product Usage Instructions

Installation

1. Before installing the stopper, clean the pipe area and ensure
   no protrusions that could damage the stopper.

2. Check the pressure sticker on the gauge matches the stopper’s
   maximum inflation pressure.

3. Close the Butterfly Valve and connect the compressor hose to
   the Schrader Valve.

4. Connect the Inflation Hose to the Inflation Controller and then
   to the stopper.

Safety Notes:

Do not stand directly in front of inflated stoppers. Stoppers
under pressure are a potential danger.

Inflation Process

5. If using a compressor, depress the Poppet Valve and slowly open
   the Butterfly Valve for controlled airflow. If using a Stirrup
   Pump, begin pumping.

6. Once required pressure is achieved, disconnect the inflation
   hose from the stopper without exceeding maximum pressure.

Deflation Process

7. To deflate, disconnect the compressor or Stirrup Pump, connect
   the Inflation Hose to the stopper, open the Butterfly Valve, and
   depress the Poppet Valve.

FAQ

Problem: The PRV is releasing too early.

Possible Solution: Ensure the cap of the PRV is tight. If it
releases straight away when the Poppet Valve is depressed, close
and open the Butterfly Valve slowly to control airflow.

Problem: The Inflation Controller is leaking.

If minor, the equipment can still be used for inflating.
Disconnect the controller after use.

Problem: The Stirrup Pump adaptor will not stay attached to the

Schrader Valve.

Once attached, turn either the Controller or the Stirrup
clockwise to tighten the whole Pump Inflation adaptor.

Problem: The gauge screen is broken.

If the needle is damaged or there is an obstruction, contact
customer service for assistance.

Spec Sheet Inflation Controller
All operations must be thoroughly planned before work commences on site to identify hazards and assess risk. These instructions form guidance for the Inflation Controller. Non-standard application should be approved by a suitably qualified engineer. Ensure all personnel engaged in pressure testing operations are properly briefed and adequately supervised by a competent person.
Removal
This inflation Controller can be used with Trelleborg, Vapo, Vepro and Vetter inflatable stoppers. Also with Packers, Cone Stoppers and Multitests. The maximum pressures of 1.0 bar, 1.5 bar, 2.0 bar, 2.5 bar, 3.0 bar and 6.0 bar are covered by this user guide and will have the relevant sticker applied on the gauge face as shown below.

Installation
Note: Before installing the stopper, clean all debris from the area of the pipe where the stopper is to be positioned. Ensure that the pipe has no protrusions which could damage the wall of the Stopper

1. Check the pressure sticker on the gauge matches the maximum inflation pressure on the stopper. If not, do not use and call the Hire Desk (see front page).

2. Close the Butterfly Valve and connect the compressor hose to the Compressor Claw or Stirrup Pump to the Schrader Valve.

3. Connect the Inflation Hose to the male QRC on the Inflation Controller and the other end to the female QRC on the stopper.

Safety Note:
Do not stand directly in front of inflated stoppers.
Stoppers under pressure are a potential danger.
4. If using a compressor, depress the Poppet Valve and slowly open the Butterfly Valve to get a controlled airflow. If using a Stirrup Pump, begin pumping.

Removal

5. Once the required pressure has been achieved, disconnect the inflation hose from the stopper. Do not exceed the maximum inflation pressure.
Safety Note:
Do not stand directly in front of stoppers when deflating.
To deflate: 1. Disconnect the compressor or Stirrup Pump. 2. Connect the Inflation Hose to the stopper. 3. Open the Butterfly valve and depress the Poppet Valve.
