1.2 Symbols, Notes The instructions contain safety instructions marked with symbols to indicate possible consequences in case of non- observance: This combination of symbol and signal word indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, damage ATTENTION to the device, the breakdown of the system, and material or environmental damage.
2 Application, Charac- teristics 2.1 Application Gas pressure regulator (GDR), direct-acting (operating without auxiliary power), for systems acc. to DVGW work sheets G 491 (A) and G 600 (A) (TRGI) Particularly suitable for dynamic regulation sections (e.g. natural gas supply systems, low flow regulators, burner circuits, gas motor operation) Can be used for the gases defined in DVGW work sheets G 260 / G 262 and neutral non-aggressive gases.
Using the device under different operating conditions must be agreed upon in consultation with MEDENUS Gas-Druckregeltechnik GmbH. The mechanical components of the device do not have any potential ignition sources of their own nor any hot surfaces and are thus not covered by the scope of 2014/34/EU (ATEX).
6 Transport, Storage and Packaging 6.1 Transport The device is delivered with flange protection caps. They must be removed prior to installation. Note Make sure that the device is transported horizontally using suitable lifting gear. The device must be handled carefully and secured against impacts and knocks. In case of transport damage, we will require the following information from the nameplate affixed to the device: •...
For the assembly of the flange connections, the maximum values specified by the flange and gasket manufacturers must be observed. Note Max. flange tightening torque: M12 (60 Nm), M16 (120 Nm), M20 (190 Nm) In installation positions other than horizontal, MEDENUS Gas-Druckregeltechnik GmbH must be consulted. • All breather lines (items 5.04 / 5.07) must be vented to the outside atmosphere.
7.3 Leakage Test (Test for External Leakage) The devices are subjected to a strength and leakage test ex works at MEDENUS Gas-Druckregeltechnik GmbH. The leakage test in the fully assembled system must be performed prior to commissioning and following maintenance work.
Initial commissioning of the system components shall be carried out by the operator. For commissioning, please refer to the documents listed under item 1 “General Information” and the system operator's work instruction. The devices delivered by MEDENUS Gas-Druckregeltechnik GmbH are factory-set to the operating data specified by the customer. This data is listed on the Acceptance Test Certificate (ATC)* and the type plate.

Changing the control range Switching to the control range of a different setpoint spring can be done for the GPR while the device is pressurized. Gas pressure regulator • Take off the sealing cap (item 7.21) and unscrew the setting screw (item 7.22), •...
7.6 Decommissioning For decommissioning, please refer to the documents listed under item 1 “General Information” and the system operator's work instruction. Procedure • Slowly close the outlet shut-off valve (item 7.13) • Close the ball valve upstream of the valves and fittings (item 7.01). • Depressurize the system (item 7.11). • Close the venting ball valve (item 7.11). 8 Maintenance 8.1 Maintenance Plan The maintenance regulations of the system manufacturer must be observed.
8.2 Maintenance Procedure The maintenance procedure is described in detail step-by-step in our video tutorial and our pictorial descriptions. Instructions for our products can be found in the download area of our website. Should you have any problems, please feel free to contact us directly. ATTENTION If components have been removed, make sure they are mounted correctly, reinstall all fastening elements and observe the screw tightening torques.

12.2 RSD restrictor valve 12.2.1 Use • For installation in the measurement line of the gas pressure regulator 12.2.2 Application / Function • For finer adjustment of the control behavior of the regulator • For vibration-free outlet pressure regulation. The RSD is a throttle valve that affects the volumetric flow in the measurement line from outside by means of a continuously adjustable narrowing of the cross-section.
