INSTALLATION:
BEFORE INSTALLATION: Be sure you fully understand the application, operation, and connection of the device before installing. WARNING: Only trained personnel should install or service a control valve. Control valves and other control devices should be installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with international codes and regulations, manufacturers instructions, and proven best practices. Personal injury, equipment damage, property damage, leakage, or bursting of pressure-containing parts may result if the valve is overpressured or installed where service conditions could exceed the limits given in the SPECIFICATIONS section. Overpressure protection should also be provided if the valve inlet pressure may exceed the safe working pressure of the equipment downstream. To avoid injury or damage, install pressure-relieving or pressure limiting devices to prevent service conditions from exceeding those limits. Consult the appropriate code, regulations, or standards. Consideration should be given to the potential risk of injury or property damage due to escaping fluid. To avoid such risks, install the regulator in a safe location. 1. Inspect the openings in the valve for foreign material and clean the pipe lines to remove scale, chips, and debris. 2. Install the valve with the arrow on the body pointing in the direction of flow. The arrow signifies that the device will operate properly in the direction of flow indicated and will not necessarily prevent flow in the opposite direction. The flow direction of the HPMV 1 and 2 with ball and cone trim is DOWN through the valve. If conditions indicate the possibility of backward flow you may wish to install check valves. The flow direction of the HPMV PB 2 thru 8 is UP through the valve. If conditions indicate the possibility of backward flow you may wish to install check valves. A person should never stand directly over or in front of a valve when the system is pressurized. Never look directly into a valve in a pressurized system. The valve could suddenly open, blowing gas, dirt, metal particles, or other debris into the persons face and eyes.

3. Install the valve using good piping practice. For flanged bodies use a suitable gasket between the body and the pipeline flanges. For threaded (NPT) bodies, use TFE tape or pipe thread sealant on external pipe threads. The flange bodies are rated ANSI class. Do not install the valve in a system where the working pressure can exceed ANSI class rating. Kimrays HPMV regulators are self contained and no external connections are required unless an outside source of supply gas is required. 4. If an outside source of supply gas is required, connect supply gas to the drip pot with 1/4 connection or directly to pilot supply input if regulated. The maximum required instrument gas pressure is 45 psig (3bar).

START UP: BACK PRESSURE REGULATOR:

In a Back Pressure Regulator the sense line is connected upstream, and the valve is typically operated in a pressure closed (fail open) mode. The Back Pressure Regulator is fully self-contained with both supply and sense lines being connected to the valve. An instrument gas regulator is installed to cut the upstream pressure to the recommended pressure for the actuator (30 -35 psig). The drip pot is added to collect any liquid that might be in the upstream gas. 1. Make sure all block and vent valves are closed. 2. Back out the pilot adjusting screw. 3. Carefully open the following valves in this order: a. Pilot supply and control line valves, if applicable. b. Upstream block valve. c. Downstream block valve. 4. If a supply gas regulator is being used set to 35 psig at this time. 5. Adjust pilot until desired control pressure is achieved. Tighten adjustment bolt to increase upstream set point and loosen adjustment bolt to decrease upstream set point. 6. Once desired set point is achieved tighten lock nut on pilot adjust ment knob to lock pilot. 7. Check for any leaks around pilot or valve area at this time and cor rect if necessary.

4. If a supply gas regulator is being used set to 35 psig at this time. 5. Adjust pilot until desired control pressure is achieved. Tighten adjustment bolt to increase upstream set point or loosen adjustment bolt to decrease upstream set point. 6. Once desired set point is achieved tighten lock nut on pilot adjust ment knob to lock pilot. 7. Check for any leaks around pilot or valve area at this time and cor rect if necessary.

HI-LO REGULATOR:
In a Hi-Lo Regulator the sense line is connected downstream and and the vale is typically operated in a pressure open ( fail closed ) mode. The Hi-Lo Regulator is fully self-contained with both supply and sense lines being connected to the valve. An instrument gas regulator is installed to cut the upstream pressure to the recommended pressure for the actuator (30 - 35 psig). The drip pot is added to collect any liquid that might be in the upstream gas. The function of the Hi-Lo Regulator is to allow medium to flow through the valve within pilots controlled range. As long as the mediums pressure is between the regulators Hi set point and Low set point the valve will be open, if pressure falls or climbs outside this range the Regulator will close and a manual reset will be required. 1. Make sure all block and vent valves are closed. 2. Back out the pilot adjusting screw. 3. Carefully open the following valves in this order: a. Pilot supply and control line valves, if applicable. b. Upstream block valve. c. Downstream block valve.

PRESSURE REDUCING REGULATOR:

In a Pressure Reducing Regulator the sense line is connected downstream, and the valve is typically operated in a pressure open (fail closed) mode. The Pressure Reducing Regulator is fully self-contained with both supply and sense lines being connected to the valve. An instrument gas regulator is installed to cut the upstream pressure to the recommended pressure for the actuator (30 -35 psig). The drip pot is added to collect any liquid that might be in the upstream gas. 1. Make sure all block and vent valves are closed. 2. Back out the pilot adjusting screw. 3. Carefully open the following valves in this order: a. Pilot supply and control line valves, if applicable. b. Upstream block valve. C. Downstream block valve.

4. If a supply gas regulator is being used set to 35 psig at this time. 5. Adjust Hi set point pilot (indirect acting) to desired set point or shut off pressure by turning adjustment screw in. This can be determined by closing downstream block valve and observing downstream pressure when valve is closed. The manual reset will need to be reset everytime high set point is reached. 6. Adjust Low setpoint (direct acting) to desired set point or shut off pressure. This can be determined by closing upstream block valve and observing upstream pressure when valve is closed. The manual reset will need to be reset everytime the low set point is reached. 7. Once both Hi and Low set points have been achieved, tighten lock nut on pilot adjustment knob to lock pilot. 8. Open upstream and downstream block valves to begin flow. 9. Check for any leaks around pilot or valve area at this time and correct if necessary.

GAP CONTROL REGULATOR:

In a Gap Control Regulator the sense line is connected to either upstream or downstream of the valve depending on desired control. The Gap Control Regulator typically uses a pressure open ( fail closed ) valve configuration. The Gap Control Regulator is fully self-contained with both supply and sense lines being connected to the valve. An instrument gas regulator is installed to cut the upstream pressure to the recommended pressure for the actuator (30 - 35 psig). The drip pot is added to collect any liquid that might be in the upstream gas. The function of the Gap Control Regulator is to allow medium to flow through the valve within pilots control range. The Gap Control Regulator will control upstream or downstream range. Upstream Gap Controller will monitor upstream pressure and open the valve when pressure reaches Hi set point, the valve will remain open until low set point is achieved and will then close. The regulator will remain closed until high set point is sensed by pilot and valve will open again. 1. Make sure all block and vent valves are closed. 2. Back out the pilot adjusting screw. 3. Carefully open the following valves in this order: a. Pilot supply and control line valves, if applicable. b. Upstream block valve. c. Downstream block valve. 4. If a supply gas regulator is being used set to 35 psig at this time. 5. Adjust HI set point pilot to desired set point or open pressure by turning adjustment screw in to increase pressure. High set point can be reached by shutting downstream block valve and and adjusting Hi pilots adjustment screw in until valve opens. It may be required to repeat this several times until set point is achieved. 6. Adjust Low set point pilot to desired set point or closed pressure by turning adjustment screw in to increase low set point. Low set point can be reached by shutting upstream block valve and monitoring pressure when valve closes. It may be required to repeat this several times until set point is achieved. 7. Once both Hi and Low set points have been achieved, tighten lock nut on pilot adjustment knob to lock pilot. 8. Open upstream and downstream block valves to begin flow. 9. Check for any leaks around pilot or valve area at this time and correct if necessary.

Downstream Gap Controller will monitor downstream pressure and close the valve when downstream pressure reaches Hi set point, the valve will remain closed until downstream reaches low pilot set point. At low set point the regulator will open and remain open until downstream pressure reaches Hi level set point and will close again. 1. Make sure all block and vent valves are closed. 2. Back out the pilot adjusting screw. 3. Carefully open the following valves in this order: a. Pilot supply and control line valves, if applicable. b. Upstream block valve. c. Downstream block valve. 4. If a supply gas regulator is being used set to 35 psig at this time. 5. Adjust HI set point pilot to desired set point or closed pressure by turning adjustment screw in to increase pressure. High set point can be reached by shutting downstream block valve and and adjusting Hi pilots adjustment screw in until valve closes. It may be required to repeat this several times until set point is achieved. 6. Adjust Low set point pilot to desired set point or open pressure by turning adjustment screw in to increase low set point. Low set point can be reached by shutting downstream block valve and monitor pressure when valve open. It may be required to repeat this several times until set point is achieved. 7. Once both Hi and Low set points have been achieved, tighten lock nut on pilot adjustment knob to lock pilot. 8. Open upstream and downstream block valves to begin flow. 9. Check for any leaks around pilot or valve area at this time and correct if necessary.

REDUNDANT REGULATOR:
In a Redundant Regulator the sense line is connected downstream, and the valves are typically operated in a pressure open (fail closed) mode. The Redundant Regulator is fully self-contained with both supply and sense lines being connected to the valve. An instrument gas regulator is installed to cut the upstream pressure to the recommended pressure for the actuator (30 -35 psig). The drip pot is added to collect any liquid that might be in the upstream gas. Redundant Regulators are two pressure reducing regulators that share the same sense point, while operating independently from one another. In case of a pilot failure set point will always remain constant. 1. Make sure all block and vent valves are closed. 2. Back out the pilot adjusting screw. 3. Block sense line on regulators sense line, a ball valve works well for this. 4. Carefully open the following valves in this order: a. Pilot supply and control line valves, if applicable. b. Upstream block valve. C. Downstream block valve. 5. If a supply gas regulator is being used set to 35 psig at this time. 6. Open sense line ball valve of first regulator. 6. Adjust pilot of first regulator until desired control pressure is achieved. Tighten adjustment bolt to increase downstream set point and loosen adjustment bolt to decrease downstream set point. 7. Once desired set point is achieved tighten lock nut on pilot adjust ment knob to lock pilot. 8. Open ball valve to sense line of second regulator and close ball valve on sense line of first regulator. 9. Adjust pilot of second regulator until desired control pressure is achieved. Tighten adjustment bolt to increase downstream set point and loosen adjustment bolt to decrease downstream set point. 10. Once desired set point is achieved tighten lock nut on pilot adjust ment knob to lock pilot. 11. Open ball valve on first regulator. 12. Check for any leaks around pilot or valve area at this time and cor rect if necessary.

WORKER MONITOR REGULATOR:

In a Worker Monitor Regulator the sense line is connected downstream, and the valves are typically operated in a pressure open (fail closed) mode. The Redundant Regulator is fully self-contained with both supply and sense lines being connected to the valve. An instrument gas regulator is installed to cut the upstream pressure to the recommended pressure for the actuator (30 -35 psig). The drip pot is added to collect any liquid that might be in the upstream gas. Worker Monitor Regulators are designed to control a downstream pressure. The first regulator in line is designed to monitor the second regulator and in case of a failure the first regulator will take over and control will never be lost. Both regulators can be set at the same pressure, because a pressure sensing pilot is connected to sense the line pressure between regulators. It is set at a slightly higher pressure to avoid interaction with the primary regulator. 1. Make sure all block and vent valves are closed. 2. Back out the pilot adjusting screw. 3. Block sense line on regulators sense line, a ball valve works well for this. 4. Carefully open the following valves in this order: a. Pilot supply and control line valves, if applicable. b. Upstream block valve. C. Downstream block valve. 5. If a supply gas regulator is being used set to 35 psig at this time. 6. Turn the adjusting screw on the Monitor Pilot clockwise all the way down. 7. Turn the adjusting screw on the Standby Regulator Pilot clockwise two turns after you feel it engage the spring. The Standby Regula tor valve should open. The gauge on the Standby Regulator Pilot should read 0, and the gauge on the Monitor Pilot should read downstream pressure. 8. Begin turning the the adjusting screw on the Primary Regulator Pilot clockwise. The Primary Regulator should begin to open. Continue turning the adjusting screw until the desired downstream pressure setting is reached. The Primary Regulator is now set. Set the lock nut on the adjusting screw. 9. Turn the adjusting screw on the Monitor Pilot counterclockwise. At some point the gauge on the Standby Regulator Pilot will begin to show pressure. Turn the adjusting screw at least one more full turn counter clockwise. This will keep the Monitor Pilot from interfering with further setup. 10. Close the small block valve on the sense line of the Primary Regulator Pilot, and open the bleed valve. The Primary Regulator should fully open, the gauge on the Primary Regulator Pilot should read 0.

TROUBLESHOOTING:
11. The Standby Regulator should now be controlling downstream pressure. Position the adjusting screw on the Standby Regulator Pilot until the desired downstream pressure setting is reached. The Standby Regulator is now set. Set the lock nut on adjusting screw. 12. Slowly turn the adjusting screw on the Monitor Pilot clockwise. At some point the gauge on the Standby Regulator Pilot will begin to indicate loss in pressure. At this point turn the adjusting screw on the Monitor Pilot 1/2 turn counter clockwise. The Monitor Pilot is set. Shut the bleed valve on the Primary Regulator Pilot, open the block valve. 13. To restore control to the Primary Regulator turn the adjusting screw on the Monitor Pilot 1/2 turn clockwise. Pressure indicated on the gauge of the Standby Regulator Pilot should drop to 0. The Standby Regulator should fully open, and the Primary Regulator should move into control. After control by the Primary Regulator is verified, turn the adjusting screw on the Monitor Pilot 1/2 turn counter clockwise to restore its setting. Set the lock nut on the adjusting screw. The entire unit is now set. * When the Primary Regulator is in control (normal conditions) the gauge on the Standby Regulator will read 0. Regulator is not stable Oversized trim. Improper piping, regulators require a minimum of 10 times pipe O.D. Upstream and Downstream of valve. Move sense line, turbulance through body causing false reading. Regulator will not open Check for clogged control line.

Make sure control line and supply line are properly connected.
Make sure supply gas is turned on. Check actuator diaphragm for damage Regulator will not close Check pilot control line, clogged or broken. Check pilot vent plug for restriction. Check actuator diaphragm for damage No adjustment in Regulator Check pilot sense area for damaged diaphragm or bellow assembly Check for broken spring in pilot bonnet Check actuator diaphragm for damage Make sure regulator is operating in control range of pilot. Check supply gas pressure, requires 30-35 psig
