General safety instructions 1 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 parties 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.
The valve closes when the downstream pressure rises. WARNING The Type 2371-10/-11 Regulators are designed as safety valves. Exceeding the maximum pressure (10 bar/150 psi) of the regulator may cause it to burst. If necessary, a suitable overpressure protection must be installed on site in the plant section.
