1. General
Gas pressure regulators serve the purpose of reducing the
outlet pressure to a predetermined constant value regardless
of continuously changing flow rates and independently of
changing inlet pressures.
These operating and installation instructions provide the
information necessary to install and operate the container
regulator combination type 110/111 safely and in the
prescribed manner.
Should difficulties arise which cannot be solved by means of
the operating instructions, further information should be
obtained from the manufacturer.
These operating instructions comply with the relevant valid
regulations and technical codes of the Federal Republic of
Germany. When using the tank regulator combination type
110/111 outside the Federal Republic of Germany, the
operator or the person responsible for the design of the plant
must ensure that valid national regulations are observed. The
manufacturer reserves all rights to make technical
modifications and improvements at any time.
The use of these operating and assembly instructions
requires the user to be qualified as described in section 2.3
"Qualified personnel". The user must be instructed according
to the operating and assembly instructions. The operating and
assembly instructions must always be available at the place
of use of the plant.
1.1 Information
The tank regulator combination type 110/111 consists of a 1st
stage regulator and a 2nd stage regulator, which reduces the
unregulated pressure from the LPG tank to a fixed set outlet
pressure and keeps it constant. As safety equipment, an
overpressure safety shut-off valve (OPSO) and an
overpressure safety relief valve (PRV) are installed.
2. Hazard warnings
2.1 Safety related terms
The terms DANGER, CAUTION and NOTE are used in these
operating instructions to indicate special hazards or unusual
information that requires specification.
DANGER! means that non-observance can
endanger life and/or cause considerable damage to
property.
CAUTION!means that there is a risk of injury and/or
damage to property if not observed.

3. Handling
3.1 Transport
During all transportation, the generally recognised rules of
technology and the accident prevention regulations must be
strictly observed.
Handle the goods to be transported with care. During
transport, the pressure regulator must be protected against
shocks, blows or vibration.
Immediately after receipt of the goods, the delivery must be
checked for completeness and transport damage.
See also section 9.0.
3.2 Storage
If the pressure regulator is not installed immediately upon
delivery, it must be stored properly.
Storage temperature -20°C to +60°C, dry, free of dirt and
protected from moisture.
3.3 Handling prior assembly
•Protect from weather influences such as wetness
•Make sure that the product is free from dust and
foreign particles
4. Product specification
4.1 Safety shut-off valve (OPSO)
The overpressure safety shut-off device OPSO is open during
normal operation and is designed to shut off the gas flow
automatically as soon as the set response pressure is
reached in order to protect downstream equipment from
impermissibly high pressure. It must be opened manually
after closing (see OPSO restart).
4.2 Pressure regulator 1st stage
The 1st stage pressure regulator reduces the unregulated
pressure from the liquid gas container to a set outlet pressure.
4.3 Pressure Relief Valve (PRV)
The PRV (Pressure Relief Valve) is closed during normal
operation and is designed to automatically release the gas
flow with limited flow when the pressure in the system to be
protected reaches the set pressure. This is relieved via the
regulator's venting port. It closes again automatically when
the pressure drops below the set pressure.
The outlet opening must be protected against rainwater.
It is important to note that pressure regulators which
are operated inside a building, an enclosure or a
hazardous area must be provided with a vent line to
the outside.
Please observe this information, otherwise liquid gas
can escape in the building, which may lead to an
explosion.
Insect screen with filter screen must be screwed into
the vent on the regulator. It must be checked
regularly whether the screen is free from dirt. A
clogged screen can lead to increased or too low
outlet pressures and thus to a response of the
OPSO.
4.4 Pressure regulator 2nd stage
The pressure regulator of the 2nd stage reduces the output
pressure of the pressure regulator of the 1st stage to a fixed
output pressure of 50 mbar.
4.5 Emergency supply (Type 111)
If the gas tank should unexpectedly run out of gas, the gas
supply can be secured by means of a gas cylinder via the
emergency supply connection using a high-pressure hose.
This is not a permanent solution. It only serves as a
temporary solution until the gas tank is filled again.

6. Assembly
6.1 Information on hazards during installation, operation
and maintenance
DANGER!
Safe operation of the pressure regulator is only
guaranteed if it is installed and commissioned by
qualified personnel (see point 2.3 "Qualified
personnel") in accordance with the warnings in this
operating manual. Proper use of tools and protective
equipment must be ensured. The operating
instructions of the pressure regulator must be
observed during all work on the pressure regulator or
when handling the pressure regulator.

6.2 Installation
In addition to the generally applicable installation guidelines,
the following points must be observed:
•current TRF (private area)
•accident prevention regulation DGUV 79 +80
(commercial sector)
•corresponding DVGW worksheets
NOTE!
The installation position of the pressure regulator
must be carried out according to the enclosed
support device. It is also important to note that the
installation position of the vents must be selected in
such a way that any water accumulation can drain
off.
The interior of the pipeline must be free of foreign
particles.
A tension-free installation must be ensured.
The pressure regulator must not serve as a fixed
point; it is supported by the pipeline system.
Observe flow direction (marked by an arrow on the
product).
The pressure regulator must be mounted and
protected in such a way that dripping water cannot
penetrate. When mounting on an underground liquid
gas tank, we recommend a ventilation set (art. no.: 9
03 110 8 5 000 2). If the pressure regulator is used
outdoors, it must be mounted under the protective
cover or in a protective box.
•When tightening the POL connection, avoid any
force on the pressure regulator.
•Prevent sealant from penetrating the gas-carrying
components.
•For threaded connections, always use a suitable
spanner to counteract.
•After assembly a careful leak test must be carried
out.
6.3 Leak test
CAUTION: The control device must not be
included in a strength test (design review) of the
entire installation.
•Close all shut-off valves of the connected devices.
•apply test pressure according to TRF 2012
•wait for temperature adjustment
•test duration 10 minutes (the pressure must not
drop)
•spray all connections with foaming agents (e.g. leak
detection spray) and check for leaks
NOTE!
We recommend the leak test with our testing device
(Art. No.: 1 00 098 14 018 2)
DANGER!
•Before each commissioning of a new installation or
recommissioning of an installation after repairs or
modifications, the following must be ensured:
•proper completion of all installation/assembly work!
•commissioning only by "Qualified personnel "(see
point 2.3).
•passed leak test
7. Operation
7.1 Initial commissioning
After completion of the leak test the pressure regulator is
ready for operation.
7.2 Decommissioning
If the supply and consumption system is to be taken out of
operation, all shut-off valves must be closed and the pipe
system drained. All open connections must be secured with a
suitable seal.
7.3 Recommissioning
When recommissioning the regulator, make sure that all the
relevant steps are repeated as described in section 6.1 to
section 6.3.
If recommissioning is not possible, the manufacturer must be
informed.
7.4 Fault clearance OPSO (SAV)
If the OPSO has locked, indicated by the visual indicator
(red), the following steps are required:
•Close the tapping valve on the liquid gas container
•Relieve the pressure on the pressure regulator (on
the inlet and outlet side)
•Turn off the OPSO display
•Place the OPSO plunger with the enclosed lever tool
on the red indicator and pull it out until it engages
•After rectifying the fault, open the gas outlet valve
7.5 Maintenance
If the points in section 6 are observed, the pressure regulator
is maintenance free.
8. Cause and remedy of operating faults
8.1 Fault detection
