4. Precautions for the Installation of Additional Fittings Before or After the M-COS In order to ensure stable steam flow, the piping upstream and downstream of the M-COS must be straight runs. If a M-COS is installed either directly before or after an elbow or control valve, unevenness in steam flow may result in chattering and unstable pressure.

4. Spacer Installation If spacing adjustment is necessary to accommodate installation, install a spacer on the outlet flange. The spacer Correct spacer Correct spacer should consist of a spacer, location location gaskets, bolts and nuts. Fit gaskets to both sides of the spacer between the M-COS outlet and the pipe flange.

8. Blowdown Valve (requires optional plug) Remove the 10 mm (3/8 in) plug (optional) In an environment of heavy dirt or scale, or when the and install the steam-using equipment is used only periodically, blowdown valve such as for room heating equipment be sure to use a blowdown valve.
Page 15
11. Accessories Always install a shut-off valve, pressure gauge and bypass lines at both inlet and outlet. Ball valves, which will not retain condensate, are recommended for inlet and outlet shut-off valves. The bypass pipe should be at least of the size of the inlet (primary side) pipe.
Page 16
14. External secondary pressure-sensing line (when required) North American Models are factory prepared for external sensing. An external sensing line MUST be installed. DO NOT SUPPLY STEAM until all piping and a 10 mm secondary pressure sensing line with a slightly falling pitch have been properly installed. Install a shutoff valve in the pressure sensing line for maintenance purposes.
Page 17
All models except North American models are factory prepared for internal sensing. When internal pressure sensing is required for North American models, please contact the nearest TLV representative to request both a connecting tube, which must be installed in place of the blind pin, and a threaded secondary pressure sensing plug.* Follow the connecting tube installation procedure shown below:...

Wiring MC-2 Pressure Power Ground Motor Supply Sensor Red Black White Red White Shield* (–) Class 3 Grounding AC100V AC200V * Wiring for the pressure switch should be made only when necessary. Class 3 Grounding 1. Before arranging wiring, check the correct supply voltage values specified for the controller unit and for the actuator (motor) once again.

(5) Pressure Indicator LED in the pressure indicator window light up when the power switch (1) is turned ON indicating either the measured pressure or the maximum allowable pressure, depending on the setting on the selector switch (6). Values available for indication are between 000 to 1999 kPa (500 kPa). Pressure indicator shows about -500 (-125) on the measured pressure side when the pressure sensor is not connected.
Page 21
Operation Procedures 1. Turn ON the power to the controller. (Thereupon, LEDs for power ON and for the pressure indicator are lighted.) Make sure that the pressure lock switch is turned OFF. 2. Set the maximum allowable pressure. With the selector switch set at the maximum allowable pressure side, operate the maximum allowable pressure setting knob to set the desired maximum allowable pressure.
Maintenance Take measures to prevent people from coming into direct contact with product outlets. Failure to do so may result in burns or other injury from CAUTION the discharge of fluids. Be sure to use only the recommended components when repairing the product, and NEVER attempt to modify the product in any way.
Disassembly NEVER apply direct heat to the float. The float may explode due to increased internal pressure, causing accidents leading to serious injury or WARNING damage to property and equipment. Use hoisting equipment for heavy objects (weighing approximately 20 kg or more). Failure to do so may result in back strain or other injury if CAUTION the object should fall.

<Valve> Disassembling the Pilot Section The diaphragm is removed by utilizing the notch in the pilot body. Loosen the pilot valve seat with a box wrench and remove it. Lift the pilot valve spring up and out with a pair of tweezers. Then loosen and remove the pilot screen holder to remove the pilot screen.
Page 25
Disassembling the Piston Section Remove the pilot body after loosening and removing the bolts. During this process, pay attention not to lose the connecting tubes (2). Remove the piston, cylinder and the silencer (for 65 – 100 mm only) from the main body.
Page 26
Disassembling the Separator and Main Valve Sections Turn the M-COS upside down for easy dismantling of the separator and main valve. Loosen the bolts and remove the trap body. Be careful, as the separator may drop off when the M-COS is returned to the normal attitude. Removal of the separator and pressed-in sleeve permits removal of the main valve spring, the main valve, the main valve holder and the separator screen.
Page 27
Disassembling the Steam Trap Section Loosen the bolts and remove the trap cover. Be careful, as hot condensate may splash out. Remove the bolts from the trap cover and the float cover to reveal the float. Remove the float, then loosen the trap valve seat with a box wrench and remove it. →Check to verify that there is no deformation of the float, abnormality in the trap valve seat or dirt accumulation in the trap cover.
Page 28
<Actuator> Disassembling the Actuator Section By removing hexagon bolts, the actuator section with adjustment screw can be dismantled from the spring housing. An insulation plate is provided between the flanges. Refrain from disassembling any further. →Check to see if the adjustment screw rotates smoothly. Check for seizing, chipping or similar defects on the threaded portion of the adjustment screw.

Reassembly Assemble the unit using the same procedure as used for disassebling it; but in reverse order. Observe the following precautions: 1. The PTFE gaskets may be re-used if free from fault, crushing or deformation. 2. Apply anti-seize to the threaded portion of screws and bolts, the spring retainer, ball and adjustment screw.
Troubleshooting NEVER apply direct heat to the float. The float may explode due to increased internal pressure, causing accidents leading to serious injury or WARNING damage to property and equipment. When disassembling or removing the product, wait until the internal pressure equals atmospheric pressure and the surface of the product CAUTION has cooled to room temperature.
