Introduction WARNING A Warning identifies a hazard that could cause injury to personnel. The text of the warning describes the hazard and details of the precautions that must be applied before the next step of the procedure is carried out. CAUTION A Caution identifies a hazard that could cause damage to equipment.
The control pressure applied to the valve can be air, gas or lubricating oil and is vented when the valve opens. This reduces the control pressure to an AMOT Master Safety Control or other device to protect the engine when high temperature is detected.
When the temperature falls, the valve seat assembly is closed again by spring pressure. The screw is used to adjust the setpoint (preset by AMOT). Fig 2 AMOT 2230/4430 Temp Sensing Valve Rev 2 –...

Description Optional AMOT 4125 Vent Closure The optional AMOT 4125 Vent Closure can be screwed into the “VENT” port to protect against the ingress of dirt, insects and corrosive atmospheres into the Valve. Fig 3 AMOT 4125 Vent Closure Rev 2 – May 06...
Technical Data, Section 6, page 19 for pressure limits. 3802L – 3/4 in. 2766L – 1 in. Note When a Valve is ordered in a thermowell, it is assembled by AMOT using heat transfer compound (Part number 907L002) to minimise the lag time for changing temperatures. OMM223000015...

Connect the “VENT” port depending on the type of control medium. Air – no connection is required but it should be protected from contamination by an AMOT 4125 Vent Closure (refer to Fig 3) or a tubing elbow bent downwards.
The 2230C/4430B Temperature Sensing Valve operates with no manual intervention and resets automatically. If the optional AMOT 4054C Trip Indicator is used, the red plunger must be pushed in to reset it after the temperature has fallen below the setpoint.
There are no user serviceable components in the 2230/4430 Temperature sensing Valves. The setpoint is preset by AMOT and it is recommended that the unit is returned to AMOT if the setpoint requires adjustment. To test the setpoint, refer to Section 5.2.

Allow the Valve to cool and ensure that it closes when the temperature falls below the setpoint. If the “VENT” port leaks in the ‘cold’ condition or the setpoint requires adjustment, return to AMOT at the address shown on the back cover of this manual. Rev 2 – May 06...
