q

 

Adjust the Low Pressure Outlet Regulator (12) by rotating the knob clockwise until the 
desired pressure is indicated on the Low Pressure Outlet Gauge (5). 

 

 

 To correctly set the pressure, gas flow must not occur.  If flow is present in the circuit 

when the regulator is adjusted, the pressure will increase when flow is reduced.  If the 
setpoint is exceeded see Section 3.2.2. 

 

3.2.2

 

DECREASING PRESSURE 

 

 

 The Low Pressure Outlet Regulator (12) is a non-venting type.  It is not possible to regulate 

pressure down without gas flow through the regulator. 

 

n

  Open the low pressure circuit to atmosphere to allow a slow gas flow through 

the regulator.  The amount of flow through the circuit should not be greater than the 
regulator’s ability to flow gas.  If this occurs, a flow related pressure drop will be created 
across the regulator resulting in erroneous pressure settings. 

o

  Adjust the Low Pressure Outlet Regulator (12) by rotating the knob counter-clockwise 

until a pressure below the setpoint is achieved. 

p

  Close the low pressure circuit to prevent gas flow through the regulator. 

q

  Adjust the regulator by rotating the knob clockwise until the desired pressure is indicated 

on the low pressure gauge. 

3.3

 

SETTING HIGH PRESSURE OUTPUT UP TO SUPPLY PRESSURE 

 

 

 All previous sections (especially Section 2.3) should be read, understood and instructions carried out 

before continuing. 

 

It is not necessary to operate the gas booster pump when setting pressures up to the value of 
the source.  The gas booster pump will not stop the flow of gas to the input of the Low Pressure and 
High Pressure Regulators.  Source pressure is always present at the inlet of the regulators whenever 
it is supplied to the GB-K. 

3.3.1

 

INCREASING PRESSURE 

n

  Close the High Pressure Outlet Regulator (7) by rotating the knob counter-clockwise until 

no spring force is felt. 

o

 

Apply instrument gas to the supply inlet. 

 

 

 Ensure the supply does not exceed 20 MPa (3 000 psi).  Pressures above this range may 

result in a failure that could damage the instrument and/or cause personal injury.
