Storage instructions
−
Protect the device against external influ
-
ences (e.g. impact).
−
Do not damage the corrosion protection
(paint, surface coatings). Repair any
damage immediately.
−
Protect the device against moisture and
dirt. Store it at a relative humidity of less
than 75 %. In damp spaces, prevent con
-
densation. If necessary, use a drying
agent or heating.
−
Make sure that the ambient air is free of
acids or other corrosive media.
−
Observe the permissible ambient tem-
peratures (see section 3.1).
−
Do not place any objects on the device.
Special storage instructions for elastomers
Elastomer, e.g. diaphragm
−
To keep elastomers in shape and to pre-
vent cracking, do not bend them or hang
them up.
−
We recommend a storage temperature of
15 °C for elastomers.
−
Store elastomers away from lubricants,
chemicals, solutions and fuels.
SAMSON's After-sales Service department
can provide more detailed storage instruc

tions on request.
Tip
5 Mounting and start-up
5.1 Preparation for installation
Proceed as follows:
Î
Flush the pipelines.
The plant operator is responsible for clean
-
ing the pipelines in the plant.
Any impurities carried along by the process
medium may impair the proper functioning
of the regulator. We recommend installing a
strainer (e.g. SAMSON Type 1 NI) upstream
of the flow regulator.
Î
Check the regulator to make sure it is
clean.
Î
Check the regulator for damage.
Î
Check to make sure that the type desig-
nation, valve size, material, pressure rat-
ing and temperature range of the regula-
tor match the plant conditions (size and
pressure rating of the pipeline, medium
temperature etc.).
Î
Check any mounted pressure gauges to
make sure they function.
