Working Monitor Installations
On working monitor installations, the working monitor 
regulator is always upstream and acts as a first-stage 
regulator through the working pilot during normal 
operation. This arrangement allows the working 
monitor's performance to be observed at all times.
Then, should the second-stage regulator fail open,
the working monitor regulator assumes the entire 
pressure reduction function of the system through the
monitoring pilot.
Use the following procedure when installing a working 
monitor system.
  1.   F ollow the procedures in the All Installations 
section and then continue with step 2 of
this section.
2. Pilot supply pressure for the downstream
Type EZR regulator must be made directly
upstream of the Type EZR using
intermediate pressure.
3. Table 9 gives the spread between normal
distribution pressure and the minimum pressure at
which the monitor pilot can be set to take over if 
the working regulator fails open.
4. Table 4 shows the minimum differential pressure
requirements across an individual regulator.

Because this application uses a first-stage 
and second-stage pressure reduction, add the
minimum differential pressure for each regulator
together to establish the required pressure drop
across the station. Do not exceed maximum pilot 
ratings given in Table 3.
For Type PRX Working Monitor
As shown in Figure 5, run a supply pressure line
(use 3/8 NPT outer diameter tubing or larger) from the
upstream pipeline to the inlet (Port S) of the upstream
Type PRX-120 pilot. Install a Type 252 pilot supply 
filter upstream of the pilot, if needed, to keep the 
supply source from clogging the restrictor in the pilot.
Inspect and clean this filter regularly to make sure it 
has not been plugged.
Connect the loading port (Port L) of the upstream 
Type PRX-120 pilot to the bonnet of the upstream
Type EZR regulator. Connect the "B" port of the upstream 
Type PRX-120 pilot to the "S" port of the upstream 
Type PRX-125 pilot. Connect the "A" port (located on the 
underside of the pilot) of the upstream Type PRX-120 pilot
to the intermediate pressure between the first and second 
Type EZR regulators as shown in Figure 5.
The "L" port of the upstream Type PRX-125 pilot is
plugged. Connect the "B" port of upstream 
Type PRX-125 pilot to the intermediate pressure
