Operation - Samson 42-36 E Mounting And Operating Instructions

7 Operation

Immediately after completing start-up or
placing the regulator back into service (see
the 'Start-up' section), the regulator is ready
for use.
WARNING
!
Risk of burn injuries due to hot or cold com-
ponents and pipeline.
Regulator components and the pipeline may
become very hot or cold. Risk of burn inju-
ries.
Î Allow components and pipelines to cool
down or warm up to the ambient tem-
perature.
Î Wear protective clothing and safety
gloves.
WARNING
!
Risk of personal injury due to pressurized
components and process medium being dis-
charged.
Î Do not loosen the control line while the
valve is pressurized.
WARNING
!
Risk of hearing loss or deafness due to loud
noise.
Noise emission (e.g. cavitation or flashing)
may occur during operation caused by the
process medium and the operating condi-
tions.
Î Wear hearing protection when working
near the valve.

WARNING WARNING
! !
Crush hazard arising from moving parts.
The regulator contains moving parts (actua-
tor and plug stem), which can injure hands
or fingers if inserted into the valve.
Î Do not insert hands or finger into the
yoke while the valve is in operation.
Î Disconnect the supply voltage and pro-
tect it against unintentional reconnection
before performing any work on the con-
trol valve.
Î Do not impede the movement of the actu-
ator or plug stem by inserting objects in-
to their path.
Î Before unblocking the actuator and plug
stem after they have become blocked
(e.g. due to seizing up after remaining in
the same position for a long time), re-
lease any stored energy in the actuator
(e.g. spring compression). See associat-
ed actuator documentation.
Î Before starting any work on the regula-
tor, depressurize plant sections as well as
the regulator.
