GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ARO Shock Blocke , pulsation dampene is designed to wo k with
1:1 atio pumps having an outlet p essu e not exceeding 100 p.s.i. (6.9
ba ). The Shock Blocke will effectively educe mate ial p essu e va iaĆ
tions, su ges and shock to piping and delive y in fluid systems du ing
pump eve sal. It can significantly cont ibute to pulse eduction in low
p essu e sp ay applications.
Accu ate selection of wetted mate ial will assu e longest se vice life
and minimize down time. Seve al mate ial options a e available fo the
body and bladde mate ials. Body mate ials available include: Polyp oĆ
pylene, Conductive Acetal and Pu e Kyna . Use Conductive Acetal and
g ound cable when pumping flammable mate ials.
The Shock Blocke uses a single ai p essu ized, flexible bladde wo kĆ
ing against the fluid line p essu e. Seve al bladde mate ial options a e
available to allow custom matching to the fluid mate ial fo best compatĆ
ibility ( efe to the model desc iption cha t).
The use of an ai tame fo a highe level of automatic p essu e adjustĆ
ment and accu acy is impo tant. It uses a sensing od to detect the posiĆ
tion of the bladde and an automatic ai valve to adjust the ai line
p essu e o to exhaust excessive p essu e in the bladde chambe as
needed. An ai p essu e gauge is standa d to monito the ai side inte Ć
nal chambe p essu e.
Shock Blocke units can also be added in se ies to p ovide additional
dampening on the mate ial.

OPERATING AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
READ, UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW THIS INFORMATION TO AVOID INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.
WARNING EXPLOSION HAZARD. Do not exceed maximum
fluid inlet pressure of 100 p.s.i. (6.9 bar). Ope ating at highe
p essu e can cause explosion, esulting in p ope ty damage o seĆ
ve e inju y.
WARNING USE ONLY WITH COMPRESSED AIR. Do not use
bottled gas products to run the Shock locker. Un egulated
high p essu e bottled gas has the potential fo ove Ćp essu ization.
Ce tain gasses, such as Nit ogen, can cause unp edictable esults.
The p essu e sou ce MUST BE REGULATED.
WARNING TEMPERATURE LIMITATIONS. Do not exceed
maximum temperature limits of; (POLYPROPYLENE 150_F),
(CONDUCTIVE ACETAL 180_F), (KYNAR 200_F). Excessive opĆ
e ating tempe atu es can weaken the body mate ial. Limits a e
based on mechanical st ess only.
WARNING CHEMICAL COMPATI ILITY HAZARD. Do not
use with certain fluids. Incompatible fluids may attack and weakĆ
en the housing, causing uptu e o explosion, which can esult in
p ope ty damage o seve e inju y. Fo specific fluid compatibility,
consult the chemical manufactu e .
WARNING DISASSEM LY HAZARD. Do not disassemble
this unit when it is under pressure. Relieve all mate ial p essu e
in the pumping system befo e attempting se vice o disassembly.
Disconnect ai lines and ca efully bleed any p essu e off the sysĆ
tem. Be ce tain the system is not maintaining p essu e due to a maĆ
te ial est iction in the hose, line, dispensing device o the sp ay o
ext usion tip. Failu e to elieve p essu e both up st eam and downĆ
st eam may esult in an inju y upon disassembly.
WARNING MATERIAL ATOMIZATION. The relief / exhaust
valve must be piped away from the work area. In the event of a
bladde uptu e, the mate ial can be atomized and fo ced out the
elief / exhaust valve.
CAUTION NOT FOR STRUCTURAL SUPPORT. Do not use
this product to support other system components or use as a
step. Imp ope suppo t can esult in f actu e of the housing, causĆ
ing damage. Plumbing must be suppo ted to p event st esses upon
it. Install using the mounting ha dwa e supplied.
NOTICE Replacement warning label (PN 93793) is availĆ
able upon request.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING HEED WARNINGS AS SHOWN IN ``OPERATING
AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS'' A OVE.
AIR REQUIREMENTS
Clean, d y ai should be used to cha ge the unit.
A filte capable of filte ing out pa ticles la ge than 50 mic ons should be
used on the ai supply.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Position the Shock Blocke pulsation dampene as close to the pump
discha ge as possible.
Use the g ound lug and optional 66885Ć1 g ounding cable kit with the
Conductive Acetal models (SB10DĆXDSĆX) in applications whe e flamĆ
mable fluids a e used, to help gua d against static spa k haza d esultĆ
ing in possible fi e o explosion. The te minal on the end of the g ound
wi e must be emoved and the wi e st ipped back 1/2'' (13 mm) to be
accepted by the Shock Blocke g ound fitting.
Mount the Shock Blocke in one of the ecommended positions as illusĆ
t ated in figu e 1, page 3.
Diffe ent mate ials affect the mounting configu ation. Fo best pe fo Ć
mance and typical applications, mount the Shock Blocke up ight ve Ć
sus ho izontally. Heavie pa ticles in some fluids may settle out. G avity
will help discha ge heavie pa ticles when mounted ve tically.
In many situations, mounting the unit di ectly to the pump outlet would
not be advisable due to the added weight of the unit. It should be indeĆ
pendently mounted and plumbed using flexible tubing and not exĆ
pected to physically suppo t othe components.
The mate ial flow should be in the di ection of the Shock Blocke , fo
best esults, not passing by at ight angles (see figu e 1, page 3).
Use the mounting base as p ovided and additional mounting kit 66108
is also available to gain ext a ve tical height. This may be necessa y
when using pumps with outlets 1" and la ge , because of the inc eased
size and space equi ements of the fittings. The second mounting kit is
inve ted to p ovide an elevated base (see page 7).
When connecting pipe, cut o p ess the ``knockĆout'' panels f om the
pedestal base as needed to accommodate piping. Do not alte o cut
out othe pa ts of the pedestal.
Shock Blocke s used in se ies should be installed as illust ated in figu e
1, page 3.
All models a e completely automatic, no fu the adjustment is needed
afte initial setĆup. The cont ol device is activated by changes in the maĆ
te ial p essu e and it will selfĆadjust the ai p essu e to the co ect level
ega dless of the mate ial used. Refe to ope ating inst uctions on page
3.
Connect the ai tame 3/8 Ć 18 n.p.t. ai inlet to the egulated ai inlet
supply hose.
When pumping fluids that may pose a haza d to human health, connect
a d ain line to the 1/8 Ć 27 n.p.t. exhaust po t as a safety p ecaution.
Tubing and fittings a e not supplied.
WARNING In the event of a bladde uptu e, the mate ial being
pumped could leak f om the exhaust po t. Route the d ain line to a
location whe e escaping ai , mate ial o ai containing atomized
mate ial will not ha m pe sonnel o p ope ty.

OPERATION
CAUTION DO NOT EXCEED 100 P.S.I. (6.9 AR) MAXIMUM
AIR INLET PRESSURE SUPPLIED TO THE AIR INLET.
P essu e elief th ough the exhaust po t is a no mal compensating funcĆ
tion of the cont ol valve in the ai tame . It will automatically adjust itself
to the equi ed ope ating p essu e once the mate ial p essu e has been
applied.
NOTE: THE AIR PRESSURE SUPPLIED TO THE AIR TAMER
NEEDS TO E EQUAL TO THE MATERIAL PRESSURE TO PROĆ
VIDE THE PROPER DAMPENING EFFECT.
1. Connect a egulated ai supply (100 p.s.i. / 6.9 ba maximum) to the
ai tame inlet.
CAUTION AIR MUST E SUPPLIED TO THE AIR TAMER
EFORE APPLYING FLUID PRESSURE. Failure to pressurize
with air first can damage the bladder.
2. Reconnect the ai supply to the pumping system.
3. Ope ate the pump to gene ate mate ial p essu e.
4. MONITOR THE GAUGE fo the ai p essu e needed to delive the
best pulsation dampening action.
5. Ope ate the system a few minutes between p essu e adjustments,
allowing fo system equalizing.
SERVICE
NOTE: E CERTAIN TO DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY AND REĆ
LIEVE FLUID PRESSURE EFORE ATTEMPTING SERVICE OR
DISASSEM LY.
CAUTION RELIEVING AIR PRESSURE WILL NOT AFFECT
THE FLUID SYSTEM PRESSURE. THE GAUGE READING
COULD FALSELY REPRESENT ANY RESIDUAL FLUID PRESĆ
SURE.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
No dampening effect or erratic performance.
SCheck fo bladde uptu e.
SCheck fo blocked o est icted outlet hoses.
SCheck fo a solid object lodged in the fluid inlet o in the bladde
a ea.
SCheck the ai supply. Make ce tain the ai p essu e supply available
to the tame is equal to the fluid p essu e. The ai tame will autoĆ
matically adjust to the ope ating p essu e.
Fluid or air leakage at the top.
SCheck fo bladde uptu e.
SCheck fo defective p essu e elief valve.
SCheck fo damaged (105) ``O" ing.
SCheck the tightness of the flange bolts (50 Ć 60 in. lbs / 5.6 Ć 6.8 Nm).
Cracks in the housing.
SDiscontinue use. This would indicate possible fluid incompatibility
with the Shock Blocke body mate ial.
INSTALLATION MOUNTING CONFIGURATIONS
Installation Note: The material flow should flow directly towards the Shock locker, not at a right angle to the flow path.
