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, Characteristics 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. gas fireplaces, burner circuits, gas motor operation) Can be used as an equipment component on gas consumption facilities as defined in Regulation (EU) 2016/426.
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: •...
7 Mounting and Commissioning 7.1 Safety Instructions and Preparation Prior to starting work on pressurized components: DANGER • Close all connections to the gas line. • Depressurize all pressurized components. Also discharge residual energies. • Defective components charged with pressure in operation must be replaced immediately by an appropriate expert.

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.
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. • Take off the sealing cap (item 7.21) and unscrew the setting screw (item 7.22), •...

8 Maintenance 8.1 Maintenance Plan The maintenance regulations of the system manufacturer must be observed. The following sections describe the maintenance work required for optimal and trouble-free operation of the device. If increased wear is detected during regular inspections, the required maintenance intervals must be shortened in accordance with the actual wear.
9 Troubleshooting 9.1 Gas Pressure Regulator Description of the error Possible cause Elimination Check valve plate (seal) and valve seat for damage Actuator dirty or damaged and dirt, replace valve plate, if necessary Static sealing elements defective Replace O-rings Clamping of the compensating Closing pressure too diaphragm has come off Check compensating diaphragm for fastening,...
The remaining components should be disposed of after sorting according to material. • Alternatively, scrapping by MEDENUS can be agreed with the service. The return is at your own expense, the disposal by MEDENUS is free of charge. For technical information, please contact our customer service:...

• Gas pressure regulators RS 254 / RS 255 • Gas pressure regulators R 100 / R 100-U • Gas pressure regulators R101 12.2.2 Application / Function The HDS high-pressure spindle is used for simplified adjustment of the control spring in the gas pressure regulator.
12.3 RSD2 Restrictor Valve 12.3.1 Use • For installation in the sensing/impulse line or breathing line of the control device 12.3.2 Application / Function • For the finer adjustment of the control behavior of the regulator • For a outlet pressure control without fluctuations in the low load range of the regulators The RSD2 is a throttle valve which regulates the volume flow in the sensing/impulse line by means of a continuously adjustable cross-sectional reduction.
• Gas pressure regulators RS 254 / RS 255 • Gas pressure regulators R 100 / R 100-U • Gas pressure regulators R101 12.4.2 Application / Function In the model with safety diaphragm, the safety diaphragm is located above the main diaphragm. When the main diaphragm ruptures, the safety diaphragm makes contact with the top cover of the diaphragm assembly and prevents any inadmissible escape of gas into the surrounding atmosphere.
12.5 Breather valve AV530 12.5.1 Use • On SSV control device • On regulators (pilots) • With low-dynamic regulation sections (one full stroke) • On the SRV 12.5.2 Application / Function The breather valve is used as replacement for the costly and time-consuming laying of breather lines and for securing the installation room against inadmissible escape of gas from diaphragm comparator compartments of gas pressure regulators and safety shut-off valves.
13.1 Brace and Bit with 4-Jaw Chuck The 3.5 - 16 mm brace and bit with 4-jaw chuck and the accessories available for it are used for precise adjustment of the setpoint spring in your MEDENUS gas pressure regulator. For further information for use and on the spring data of the setpoint springs, please refer to pages 12 - 13 "Initial commissioning / Recommissioning"...
