Technical manual MT 208-E If the installation of the apparatus requires the application of PRECAUTION compression fittings in the field, these must be installed following the instructions of the manufacturer of the fittings themselves. The choice of the fitting must be compatible with the use specified for the GENERAL PRECAUTION apparatus and with the specifications of the system when envisaged.

Technical manual MT 208-E SB/82 SLAM-SHUT VALVE The SB/82 slam-shut device (see fig. 14-15) consists of an obturator A, a releasing lever system, a control head B and a resetting system which is controlled manually by the lever C. The pressure in the circuit to control acts on the diaphragm in the control head B.
Technical manual MT 208-E APPARATUS SPECIFICATION PLATES IN LINE MONITOR The monitor is an emergency regulator whose function is to come into service instead of the main regulator when failure of the latter causes the downstream pressure to reach the point set for monitor intervention.
COMMISSIONING REGULATOR In installation consisting of two lines, we suggest commissioning one APERFLUX 101 WITH APERFLUX 101 IN line at a time, starting from the one with the lover set-point, known as LINE MONITOR (fig.20) the “reserve” line. The set-point of the apparatuses in the line will obviously deviate from those specified in the table 6.
At the end of the operation, reconnect the control head to the downstream pressure take-off COMMISSIONING THE REGULATOR APERFLUX 101 WITH REFLUX 819 IN N.B.: The intervention test should be repeated at least every 6 monts. LINE MONITOR WITH INCORP. SB/82 SLUM-SHUT AND ACCELLERATING VALVE (fig.21)
