system.  On the contrary erase the causes generating the 
internal leak.  

12)  Using a foam substance, check the tightness of all the joints 

between the on-off valves 

V1

and 

V2

13)  Very slowly open the downstream on-off valve 

V2

 to obtain the 

complete filling of the pipe.   

14)  If at the beginning of this operation the pressure in the pipe is 

much lower than the set point, the opening of this valve should 
be choked so as not to go beyond the maximum flow rate value 
for the installation. 

15)  If pumping phenomena arise in normal working conditions, it is 

necessary to repeat the operations in point 

9

 so as to readjust 

the setting, increasing the opening of the AR100 valve. If on the 
other hand, there is an excessive reduction of the regulated 
pressure with an increase in flow, repeat the above operations 
with a smaller opening of the AR100 valve.

COMMISSIONING THE REGULATOR 
APERFLUX 101 WITH REFLUX 819 IN 
LINE MONITOR WITH INCORP. SB/82 
SLUM-SHUT AND ACCELLERATING 
VALVE (fig.21) 

 
Is there also a relief valve in the line, refer to par. 3.1 to check it. 
 

 

 
 

 
Check and adjust the intervention of the 
slam-shut 7 as follows: 

A) 

For slam-shuts connected to the downstream piping by a three-
way deviator push valve 

11

, proceed as follows (fig. 22): 

-  

connect a controlled auxiliary pressure to 

C

 

-  

stabilise this pressure at the set-point established for the 
regulator 

-  

insert a reference pin 

2

 in the notch,  pressing the knob 1

 completely 

reset the slam-shut device by means of the provided lever 

-  

keep the knob 

1

 pressed and:  

• Safety devices which intervene for maximum pressure:  
slowly increase the auxiliary pressure and check the intervention 
value. If necessary, increase the intervention value by turning 
the adjustment ring 

14

 clockwise, or anticlockwise to reduce the 

intervention value. 
• Safety devices which intervene for pressure increase and 
reduction: 
slowly increase the auxiliary pressure and record the 
intervention value. Restore the pressure to the set-point 
established for the regulator, and carry out the slam-shut reset 
operation. Check intervention for pressure reduction by slowly 
reducing the auxiliary pressure. 

If necessary increase the intervention values for pressure 
increase or decrease by respectively turning the rings 

14

 or 

15

 

clockwise and  vice versa to reduce the intervention values. 

-  

check proper operation by repeating the operations at least 

2-3

 

times. 

 
B)   On devices without the "push" valve (fig. 23) we recommend 

connecting the control head separately to a controlled auxiliary 
pressure and repeat the operations described above. 

 
 
 

 

 

ATTENTION

 

 

At the end of the operation, reconnect the control 

head to the downstream pressure take-off

  

 

N.B.: The intervention test should be repeated at least every 6 monts. 
 
 
 

On completion of the slam-shut tests, proceed as follows: 
 

1)  

Ensure that the slam-shut is in the closed position. 

2)  

Open the inlet on-off valve V1 very slowly. 

3)   Completely increase the setting of the pilot 

3

 by turning the 

screw 

10

 clockwise (fig. 24). 

4)   Close the AR100 

2

 valve in position 

1

.  

5)   Completely increase the setting of the accelerating valve 

12

 by 

turning the adjustment screw  (fig. 13) clockwise. 

6)   Open the slam-shut very slowly, turning the provided lever 

clockwise. 

7)   Partially open the discharge cock 

6  

8) 

Adjust the setting of the pilot of the monitor 

10

 to the intervention 

value set for the accelerating valve 

12

 (see table 6). 

9)   Lower the setting of the accelerating valve until, using a foam, 

gas is seen to come out from the discharge point. 

10)   Lower the setting of the pilot 

10

 to the selected working value of 

the monitor, ensuring that the valve 

12

 is no longer discharging 

gas. 

11)   Adjust the setting of the pilot of monitor 

10

 to the set value. 

12)   Open the AR100 

2

 valve in position 

8

13)   Reduce the setting of pilot 

3

 to the selected working value of the 

service regulator. 

14)   Ascertain that the REFLUX 819 monitor positions itself 

completely open, controlling the position of the stroke indicator.  

15)   Adjust the setting by alternately adjusting the regulating AR100 

valve and the 30./... pilot so that the value of the set pressure is 
obtained with the minimum opening possible of the AR100 valve; 
then block the screw 10 of the pilot with the provided nut 

9

 (fig. 

24). 

16)   Close the vent cock 

6

 and check that the downstream pressure, 

after a period of increase, stabilizes and at a value 

slightly higher

 

than that of closure of the pilot/regulator combination. Otherwise 
eliminate the causes of the internal leakage. 

17)   Using a foam substance, check the tightness of all the joints 

between the on-off valves V1 and V2. 

18)   Very slowly open the downstream on off valve V2 to obtain the 

complete filling of the pipe. If at the beginning of this operation 
the pressure in the pipe is much lower than the set point, the 
opening of this valve should be choked so as not to go beyond 
the maximum flow rate value for the installation.
