Page 4: Installation
Installation WARNING ® When installing a Swagelok self-venting regulator, position the vent connection or line away from operating personnel. Operating personnel must protect themselves from exposure to system fluids. CAUTION Do not use the regulators as a shutoff device. The preferred mounting position of the regulator is horizontal with the dome facing upwards. - Page 6 External feedback CAUTION When using the regulator with external feedback, make sure that the outlet pressure can be fed back to the external feedback connection before applying pressure to the regulator. Failing to do so may lead to damage and non-functioning of the regulator as the inlet pressure will be put straight through to the outlet.

Page 7: Operation
Operation Make the final pressure setting in the direction of increasing pressure to obtain the most accurate set points. Once fluid is flowing through the system, fine tuning may be required. Icing of the regulator at high flow rates or high pressure drops may occur if the gaseous media or atmosphere contains moisture. - Page 8 Changing the set pressure Check the supply of medium at the inlet side. CAUTION When using the LPRD20, 25, 30 or LPRD40 with an inlet pressure higher than 2 bar, a safety valve must be installed in the outlet line, because the outlet pressure may not exceed 2 bar. ...
