INSTRUCTION FOR USE: REGULATING VALVES S400, S1500, S2500
AND JETCONTROL 600 FOR HIGH OPERATING VALVES GAUGE PRES-
SURE
1. REDUCING VALVE SPECIFICATION
S400, S1500, S2500, JETCONTROL 600 are a single stage regulators suitable for pres-
sure reduction of technical gases at high operating pressure up to 200 bar, resp. 300
bar. They are provided with inlet and outlet manometer, adjusting control knob (for
adjusting required operating pressure), inlet and outlet connection and types S400,
S1500 by safety valve. The inlet connection complies with national regulators of the
country where the regulators valves is used.
All pressure regulators are designed for 200 bar, resp. 300 inlet pressure and every
regulator is carefully assembled and tested by skilled personnel.
2. PROCEDURE
2.1. INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
1. Ensure that the appropriate regulator is selected for the type of gas and maximum
outlet pressure of the cylinder to be used.
Do not use a regulator in a gas service for which it is not designed.
2. Gas cylinder must be in an upright position and secured.
3. Check that the cylinder is clean and free from oil or grease. Open the cylinder valve
briefl y to clean out any residual dirt or obstruction. Stand clear of the outlet and
wear eye protection for this operation.
4. Check cylinder valve threads and if there is any evidence of damage - do not use -
return the damaged cylinder to the supplier.
5. Inspect the regulator to ensure that it i s clean and free of damage.
6. Connect the regulator to the cylinder and tighten in accessories with type of the
connection by hand or by spanner nuts for hand tighten is necessary tighten only
by hand (the use of a spanner will over tighten and damage the threads).
7. Connect downstream equipment to regulator outlet in readiness for operation to be
undertaken.
8. Unscrew regulator pressure adjusting control knob i. e. to zero pressure (turn anti-
clockwise).
9. Open cylinder valve slowly to avoid a pressure gauge which could damage the
regulator.
10. Open downstream valves to fl ow position and adjust regulator to required pressure
by the pressure adjusting control knob.
11. The regulator is now ready to supply gas to the downstream equipment.
2.2. CLOSING DOWN PROCEDURE
1. Follow recommendations from the manufacturer of downstream equipment.
2. Close cylinder valve.
3. Open all downstream valves to release pressure in system.
4. Unscrew pressure adjusting control knob to close regulator valve.
5. Close all downstream valves.
