General safety instructions 1 General safety instructions − The regulator is to be mounted, started up or serviced by fully trained and qualified personnel only; the accepted industry codes and practices are to be observed. Make sure employees or third persons are not exposed to any danger. − All safety instructions and warnings given in these mounting and operating instructions, particularly those concerning installation, start-up and mainte- nance, must be strictly observed.
WARNING! The Type 2371-10/-11 Regulators are designed as safety valves. Exceeding the max- imum pressure (10 bar/150 psi) of the regulator may cause it to burst. If necessary, a suitable overpressure protection must be installed on site in the plant section.
The resulting output pressure depends on the flow rate.

Design and principle of operation Pneumatic stem locking Type 2371-10 To open the valve, apply a pressure p (= 1 bar) to the pneumatic unit. This causes the plug stem to move together with the plug out of the valve seat. A set point pressure p must not be applied to the regulator in this case. To switch the valve back to its control func- tion, remove the pressure p (= 1 bar).
