For safety reasons, it is important to take the 
following precautions before you start work 
on the PDA*:
1.  Read all labels fitted to the PDA* and 

this sheet before installation, operation 
or maintenance.

2.  Use PDA* for the intended purpose 

(according contract/specification).

3.  Remove the PDA* carefully from its packaging, 

lifting by means of straps (heavy weight) 
around the body or use the hoisting lug.

4.  The hoisting lug is for the actuator only, 

not for the total assembly!!!

5.  For installation of the PDA* use bolting 

material (2 half-couplings and lock nut; parts 
of the Desuperheater) and free of 'forces, 
moments and torques'.

6.  Additional mounting/modifications on PDA's* 

are not allowed without approval from Yarway.

7.  The line must be depressurized, drained, 

vented and cooled down before installation.

8.  Handling of all PDA's *, with or without 

accessories must be carried out by personnel 
trained in all aspects of manual, mechanical 
handling/lifting techniques and standard 
safety procedures, in case of doubt, consult 
your supervisor and/or safety officer.

9.  Yarway do not accept liability for site work 

performed under supervision of others.

10. Each PDA* air supply line should be protected 

with its own air filter regulator.

11. Please, follow the procedure as detailed 

in the IOM**.

12. 

warning: 

high spring loaded assembly 

(use extended bolts for dismantling).

13. The surface temperature as defined 

in 2014/34/EC Annex II 2.2.1.2 of the 
Desuperheater is a function of the system 
it is built into. When installed, the surface 
temperature cannot be controlled by the 
manufacturer.

Before installation these instructions must be fully read and understood

!! Read all warning labels fitted to the PDA* 
before operation or maintenance !!
Never open, dismantle or modify the assembly 
whilst under pressure/temperature or other 
hazardous conditions.

lower) through the screws.

3.  installation may be in vertical or horizontal 

piping (use support in case of heavy weight).

4.  for installation of the positioner and 

the air filter regulator, following the 
manufacturer's recommendations.

5.  connect the lever of the positioner to the 

stem coupling (mechanical linkage) and 
adjust, if necessary, set points for air filter 
regulator, and valve positioner, following 
the manufacturer's recommendations.

6.  connection of electrical supplies and/or 

air piping should be in accordance with 
the manufacturer's instruction manual.

7.  When satisfactory coordination between 

signals and temperature are attained, 
adjustment of the set-point can be made 
and the system transferred to automatic 
operation.

8.  ensure easy access of the operating 

mechanism (actuator, positioner, 
handwheel, etc.) if applicable.
