General safety instructions General safety instructions − The regulator must 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.
Process medium and scope of application Process medium and scope of application Pressure regulators for set points from 2 to 28 bar · Valve nominal sizes DN 125 to 400 · Nom- inal pressure PN 16 to 40 · Suitable for liquids, gases and vapors up to 350 °C The differential pressure across the regulator is used as auxiliary energy to operate the valve.
Design and principle of operation Design and principle of op- Together with the pilot valve, the fixed restric- tion (8) or the Venturi nozzle (6) create the eration control pressure p See Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.

Operation NOTICE Incorrectly adjusted set point or set point cannot be adjusted. Malfunction! Start by turning the set point adjust- er by one turn at a time and wait until the downstream pressure reaches the set point. As soon as the pressure re- ducing valve starts to work, you can adjust the set point by making larg- er changes.

Conversion from chromate coating to iridescent passivation We at SAMSON are converting the surface treatment of passivated steel parts in our production. As a result, you may receive a device assembled from parts that have be- en subjected to different surface treatment methods. This means that the surfaces of so- me parts show different reflections.
