IOM Manuals for each individual component. A list of relevant component IOM Manuals is provided in Appendix A of this manual. The information in this manual has been carefully checked for accuracy and is intended to be used as a guide for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the Welker equipment described in this manual.
The HR heats product prior to decreasing the pressure to help compensate for the natural temperature drop that occurs during regulation. In order to set the desired output pressure, an adjusting screw on the device is turned clockwise. The design of the HR allows for the sample stream to flow through at a consistent rate of pressure and temperature.
1.3 Important Certification Information Ensure that the field technician installing the HR is trained in the protection practices required to maintain the area classification for electrical equipment in ATEX and IECEx hazardous locations. Before connecting power to the HR, the technician shall ensure that cabling components supplied by the end-user are certified for explosion protection flameproof enclosure "d".

(Figure 1). Turn ON the electrical power to begin operation. Allow at least thirty (30) minutes for the HR to warm up. Welker recommends that the unit be enclosed or insulated to maximize the heating effect of the HR.
All maintenance and cleaning of the unit should be performed on a smooth, clean surface. Welker recommends having the following tools available for maintenance. Please note that the exact tools required may vary by model. 6" and 10" Channel Lock Pliers b.
Turn OFF all electrical power to the unit and isolate it from all applicable energy sources. The HR will be HOT after use. Allow an appropriate amount of time for the regulator to cool down prior to performing maintenance. Disconnect the electrical wiring and ensure that it cannot become live while maintenance is performed (Figure 3).
