1. Application
1.1 Designated use
Use with pressure gas cylinders for compressed high purity gases, gases dissolved
under pressure and liquid gases to reduce the cylinder pressure and maintain an as
constant as possible outlet pressure.
1.2 Non-designated use
Do not use pressure regulator for gases in the liquid phase.
Do not use for unsuitable gas types.
Do not use pressure regulator in operating conditions, that it was not designed for.
Do not use at temperatures below -30°C or above +60°C.

The system has to be used according to these instructions for use and especially the
safety instructions!
5.2 Pressure regulators have always to be protected against damage (visual
inspection at regular intervals).
5.3 The adjustment of the relief valve (4) must not be altered!
5.4 Ensure perfect condition of seals, sealing surfaces and pressure gauges.
5.5 In case of malfunctions, e. g. an increase of the outlet pressure during the
supply, or in case of leakage versus atmosphere or a defect pressure gauge, shut
down the upstream gas supply and take the pressure regulator out of operation.
6. Shut-down
6.1 For longer interruptions or end of work:
Close the gas cylinder valve (1) first by releasing the hand knob (6) to
depressurize the cylinder pressure regulator.
6.2 Before disassembly purge the regulator (where applicable) and make sure that
pressure gauges (3) and (5) display zero pressure.

7. Repair
7.1 Repairs may only be carried out by expert
persons.
7.2 Only original spare parts must be used. The materials have been adapted to the
gas type in each instance. So always specifiy the gas type
7.3 In case of independent repairs, the use of non-original spare parts or changes on
the side of the user or a third party without the approval of the manufacturer,
any form of liability for resulting damages will expire as well as the
manufacturers warranty.
7.4 After being repaired, the pressure regulator must be checked with respect to
proper function, leak-tightness and cleanliness of the gas-wetted surfaces.When
the system is used again, a sufficient purging operation must be carried out first.

4.3 Manually screw the regulator onto the cylinder valve (1). Tighten connection
gas-tight by using an appropriate spanner. Do not use any extension to the
spanner to increase momentum! In case of flammable and toxic gases attach a
relief line to the relief valve (4) and ensure a safety gas discharge. For cylinder
regulators with external purge gas connect the purge gas line.
4.4 Carry out the connections between the cylinder pressure regulator and the point
of use. Never allow cylinder pressure regulator to regulate into the open
atmosphere.
Wind PTFE tape (Art. No. 0321422) clockwise around NPT-screwed
connections (5 to 10 turns). Check all connections for leaks.
4.5 Release the pressure regulator spring with the hand knob (6) - open the cylinder
valve (1) (High pressure gauge 3 indicates the cylinder pressure) - Adjust the
required outlet pressure with hand knob (6). Correct the pressure setting in case
of a decrease of pressure.

4.1 Before starting read the specifications of this instruction for use and observe it
while working.
4.2 Check, that the cylinder valve thread, pressure regulator, connector and
connection seals are without any damage (blow through if necessary).
In case of a damage, the cylinder pressure regulator must not be connected.

5. Operation and maintenance
5.1 Before commisioning check on the nameplate if the regulator is suitable for the
gas type. The designated gas type has to be marked on the nameplate using gas
type stickers or by writing the gas type into the space provided on the
nameplate.

2. Safety instructions
- Guidelines for laboratories (Zh 1/119)
- Technical regulation (liquified pet. gas)
In case of flammable gases, thedischarge of the gas from the relief valve (4)
must be ensured. For this use connector 1/8-NPT/6mm pipe (art. no. 0291677).
No adapters must be used between the gas cylinder valve and the pressure
regulator.
2.1 All items of information marked with are valid as special safety instructions.
2.2 These pressure regulators adhere to state-of-the-art technology and
to the demands of the exsiting standards and regulations.
2.3 Changes or modifications are not allowed to be made to the pressure
regulator without the prior consent of the manufacturer.
2.4 The result of improper handling and improper use as intended can involve
risks for the user and other persons as well as damage to the device.
2.5 The equipment must be operated by suitable trained personnel only.
2.6 Regulations to be adhered to:
- BGV A1 (VBG 1), “General specifications”
- BGV B6 (VBG 61), “Gases"
- BGV B7 (VBG 62), “Oxygen”
Special attention has to be paid to the country specific laws, regulations
and procedures concerning the use of this type of equipment.
2.7 Use only for gas types the pressure regulator is labelled for (see item 3).
2.8
2.9 Do not use at temperatures below -30°C or above +60°C.
2.10 The valve has always to be opened slowly!
2.11 All parts coming into contact with oxygen must be kept in oil-free and
grease-free condition.
Fire or explosion hazard!
2.12 Smoking or open fire (e.g. candles) in the vicinity of the gas supply
