OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
•
Ensure that this product is suitable for the chosen application.
•
Installation, adjustment and maintenance by authorised, trained personnel only.
•
When being fitted to an appliance, refer to the appliance manufacturers instructions.
•
Ensure that the installation provides adequate protection to prevent over
pressurisation.
•
Traffic, wind and earthquake loadings should be considered when specifying the
installation.
•
The unit should be protected from the decomposition of unstable fluids.
FITTING UNITS INTO PIPEWORK.
Fig. 1
1.
The unit should not be installed in a corrosive environment.
2.
The ambient temperature (surface temperature) should be within the limits
stated on the slam shut valve catalogue.
3.
Check the maximum allowable pressure on the slam shut valve nameplate
against the installation specification.
4.
Remove protective discs from flanges on inlet and outlet ports.
5.
Ensure installation pipework is thoroughly clean.
6.
The direction of gas flow must be the same as the arrows on the slam shut
body.
7.
Install the slam shut
valve into the pipework, using gaskets and bolting
approved to National Standards.
8.
Connect impulse line to sense chamber tapping, using jointing compound
approved to National Standards.
9.
Vent line can be installed as below if required:
10.
Remove vent protective screen and connect vent pipe line to top cover, using
jointing compound approved to National Standards.
11.
Lead pipe to atmosphere in accordance with National Standards.
VALVE OPERATION (Fig 2)
As the sense pressure rises to the desired trip point, it act
s against the pressure
sensing diaphragm and pressure setting spring.
A bearing cage is lifted, allowing ball bearings to move radially outwards
against the bearing cage taper, to a point where the shoulder diameter on the
spring loaded shaft, is free to p
ass through the bearings (TRIP POINT).
As the shaft moves through the bearings, it releases the spring clip (a) thereby
allowing the valve seat assembly to operate in the closed position.
A valve position indicator (b) indicates that the valve has moved to
the closed
position.
Warning!
Incorrect installation, adjustment, modification, operation and maintenance may
cause injury or damage.
Read the instructions before use. This control must be installed in accordance with the rules in
force.

SETTING THE TRIP PRESSURE (Fig 3)
1.
Ensure valve is depressurized.
2.
Remove cap, spring and indicator.
3.
Screw adjusting nut clockwise as far as it will go, Do Not Force.
4.
Induce desired set pressure at pressure sense point.
5.
Wind out (anti-clockwise) adjusting nut half a turn at a time until valve trips.
6.
Remove pressure, reset valve (see below).
7.
Slowly induce pressure at sense p
oint, and check that valve trips at desired
pressure. Adjust as necessary.
8.
Valve is now set.
9.
Refit indicator, spring and cap.
NOTE; if correct trip pressure is not obtainable, choose correct spring from
tables on page 13, and go back to instruction 3 above
The unit should not be
installed in a corrosive environment.
RE
-ARMING THE VALVE (Fig 4)
Re
-arming of the valve is carried out manually. Prior to re-arming, the cause of
operation should first be ascertained and rectified. The valve must be isolated
and downstream pressure vented. In order to operate the correct procedure
must be followed
.
The reset shaft requires to be pushed and rotated (1) until it is felt to engage the
latching assembly. Further rotation using light pressure causes the automatic
equalizing valve to operate
.
Do not attempt to force the valve open. Once pressure has equalised the valve
seat assembly will be felt to lift from the seat allowing the reset shaft to be easily
rotated (2) to the latching position
.
When the valve is
satisfactorily re-armed the valve position indicator will move
from the window ((b) Fig 2)
.
