3 - SAFETY 3.1 - GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS WARNING! The equipment described in this instruction manual is: • a device subjected to pressure in pressurised systems; • normally installed in systems carrying flammable gases (for example: natural gas). WARNING! If the gas used is a combustible gas, the installation area of the equipment is defined as a “danger zone” as there are residual risks that potentially explosive atmospheres may be generated.
3.2 - PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT ”Tab. 3.9” shows the personal protective equipment (PPE) and its description. An obligation is associated with each sym- bol. Personal protective equipment means any equipment intended to be worn by the worker in order to protect them against one or several risks that are likely to threaten their safety or health during work.
3.3 - RESIDUAL RISKS In accordance with the requirements of PED 2014/68/EU, point 1.2 of Annex I, below is an assessment of the risks as- sociated with the equipment and an indication of the principles adopted for their prevention, according to the following classification: a) Elimination and/or reduction of the risk.

8 - COMMISSIONING 8.1 - GENERAL WARNINGS 8.1.1 - SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR COMMISSIONING HAZARD! During commissioning the risks associated with any discharges to the atmosphere of flammable or nox- ious gases must be evaluated. HAZARD! In case of installation on distribution networks for natural gas, consider the risk associated with explosive mixtures (gas/air) being formed inside the piping, if the line is not subjected to inerting.
8.2 - PRELIMINARY PROCEDURES FOR COMMISSIONING HAZARD! Before commissioning the equipment, it must be ensured that any source of explosion has been eliminat- ed if there is such a danger. WARNING! Before commissioning, you need to make sure that the characteristics of the equipment are suitable for the conditions of use.
8.3 - PROPER COMMISSIONING CHECK Completely sprinkle the equipment with a foaming solution (or equivalent control system) in order to check the tightness of the external surfaces of the regulator and the connections made during the installation. 8.4 - CALIBRATION OF EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES INSTALLED NOTICE! To properly calibrate the equipment and accessories present, refer to the accuracy class indicated on the nameplates (see section "2.8 - Nameplates applied").
In the application consisting of two pressure adjusting lines, it is advisable to commission one line at a time, starting with the line with the lowest set point. The set point value is mentioned on the test certificate enclosed with each piece of equipment. Fig. 8.16. Commissioning the DIVAL 600 regulator MEDIUM PRESSURE REGULATOR COMMISSIONING REV.

Step Action Partially open the bleed cock (6). Partially open the upstream shut-off valve (V1), checking that the downstream pressure (Pd) indicated on the downstream pressure gauge (5) does not exceed the required calibration value by over 50%. NOTICE! In the first line pressurisation phase, the downstream pressure (Pd) indicated on the down- stream pressure gauge (5) could exceed that required calibration value, depending on the response time of the regulator.
The setting spring (328.1) of the main regulator (1) must allow you to obtain the downstream pressure val- ue (Pd) 10-20% higher than the calibration pressure value of the regulator with in-line monitor function (2).
