NOTICE
Adjustment Recommendations for
Monitor Applications
Low amplitude/high frequency monitor trim oscillations
can occur if the monitor regulator pressure setting is
adjusted too closely to the working regulator pressure
setting and/or if the monitor pilot supply regulator
pressure setting is adjusted too closely to the monitor
regulator pressure setting. The monitor pressure
setting should be adjusted so it is at minimum two
times the pilot proportional band pressure above the
working regulator pressure setting. The monitor pilot
supply pressure setting should be adjusted so it is at
minimum 5 psig / 0,34 bar plus the monitor minimum
differential pressure above the working regulator
pressure setting. These adjustments must be made
such that other governing pressure limits, such as
casing ratings, pilot maximum differential pressures, or
regulatory limits, are not exceeded.

Installation
1. For both the wide-open monitoring regulator and
the working regulator, perform the Standard
Single-Pilot Regulator Installation section
through step 6.
2. Connect the control line of the wide-open
monitoring regulator (Figure 8) to downstream
piping near the working regulator control line
connection. During normal operation the wide-
open monitoring regulator stands wide-open
with the pressure reduction being taken across
the working regulator. Only in case of working
regulator failure does the wide-open monitoring
regulator take control at its slightly higher setting.
Startup
Repeat this procedure in turn for each regulator in
the installation.
1. Slowly open the pilot supply line hand valve.
2. Slowly open the upstream block valve and
partially open the downstream block valve for
minimum flow.
3. Slowly open the hand valve in the control line
and adjust the pilot setting if necessary. Set
the monitoring regulator at a slightly higher control
pressure than the working regulator.
4. Completely open the downstream block valve.
5. Slowly close the bypass valve, if any.
