OPERATING FUNCTION
The throttle (2) for ow adjustment and inline ow controller (6) are built in series in one valve body (7). Pressure upstream of the throttle acts through internal capillary pipe (V+) to one side of diaphragm (8) in the ow controller and attempts to close it. Pressure downstream of the throttle acts through another internal impulse to the other side of the diaphragm and attempts to open the valve together with the spring force. The accuracy of ow regulation is practically independent on the pressures upstream and downstream of the regulator.

V+

1. Fixing nut 2. Throttle 3. Holes for plombing (throttle) 4. Holes for plombing (valve body) 5. Venting screws 6. Flow controller 7. Valve body 8. Diaphragm 9. Plug

INSTALLATION
Installation in supply or return pipe. Flow direction is shown by the arrow on the valve body. Installation of a strainer upstream of the valve is recommended. When lling, vent the body by using the venting screws. Instead of the plug R1/4 you can install drain valve or measurement point for pressure or temperature measurement. Application example:

STAD (STAF)

SIZING
1. Select the smallest size for the ow you need in the diagram. 2. Check that the available p is bigger than the sum of the pressure drops calculated with the formula:
pmin = Fc + 0.01

SETTING
Presetting of the maximum ow
Release the xing nut (1). Turn the throttle (2) clockwise down to the start position of 0,0 turns. Adjust the corresponding number of scale turns according to ow chart and the pointer (4) on the valve body. Tighten the xing nut. You can plomb the ow setting using holes (3a and 3b) on the throttle and the valve body. a Measure the ow on the balancing valve STAD using the balancing instrument TA-CBI or measuring instrument TA-CMI. b Adjust the throttle until you measure the required ow on the TA-CBI or TA-CMI. c Lock the xing nut. When you lock the nut please hold the throttle in place with an allen key. Alternative: a Take the presetting value from the table which is packed with the valve. b Open the throttle anti-clockwise. The preset value (e.g. 3,4) means that you open the valve three complete turns. After that turn until the gure 4 ts the red mark on the valve body. c Lock the xing nut. When you lock the nut hold the throttle in place with an allen key. Table - Example:
