General safety instructions General safety instructions − The regulator is to be mounted, started up or serviced by fully trained and qualified personnel only; the accepted industry codes and practices are to be observed. Make sure employees or third persons are not exposed to any danger. − All safety instructions and warnings given in these mounting and operating instructions, particularly those concerning installation, start-up, and mainte- nance, must be strictly observed.
Process medium and scope of application Process medium and scope 2.1 Transportation and storage of application The regulators must be carefully handled, transported and stored. During storage and Pressure regulators for the food and pharma- transportation before installation: Protect the ceutical industries for liquids and gases in the regulators against adverse influences, such as temperature range from 0 to 160 °C/32 to...

Design and principle of operation Stem locking for CIP or SIP The pneumatic unit for the pneumatic stem locking is located on the top of the regulator. See section 6.1 on page 15.

Design and principle of operation Pneumatic stem locking Type 2371-10 To open the valve, apply a pressure p 1 bar) to the pneumatic unit. This causes the plug stem to move together with the plug out of the valve seat. A set point pressure p must not be applied to the regulator in this case. To switch the valve back to its control function, remove the pressure p (= 1 bar).
Installation Installation 4.1 Mounting orientation The regulator has an angle-style NOTICE valve body. The actuator Pay particular attention to correct hygiene housing must face upwards. As and ensure that regulators for the food and a result, the outlet must face to pharmaceutical industries are kept absolutely the side in the installed position.

As a result, the output pressure p can rise to Avoid pressure surges.
Operation 5.2.1 Set point · Type 2371- The valve closes when the output pressure p exceeds the pressure adjusted set point. 5. Retighten the locking screw (12) to prevent Manual set point adjustment ∙See Fig. 1 on the set point screw (6) from being turned. page 7. − Reinsert the stopper. The set point is adjusted for the lowest output pressure in the delivered state.

Operation 5.2.2 Set point · Type 2371- G ¼ connection for the set point pressure line at the side on the pressure unit Pneumatic set point adjustment ∙ See Fig. 1 on page 7. How to proceed: 1. Connect the external set point pressure line at the G ¼ connection. Max. pressure = 8 bar. 2. Adjust the set point pressure p to obtain and keep the required pressure constant. Monitor the downstream pressure at a pres- sure gauge (see Fig. 3 on page 10).
