4. Slowly open the upstream shutoff valve.
Startup For Pressure-Relief Service
1. Open the needle valve in the control line.
2. Open the downstream shutoff valve.
3. Slowly open the upstream shutoff valve.
4. Close the valve in the bypass line.
Adjustment For Pressure-Reducing or
Pressure-Relief Service
Pressure-Relief Service
The actuator is factory-set as specified on the order,
and the pressure range is stamped on the
nameplate. If a pressure setting other than the one
specified is desired, change the pressure setting by
following the procedures listed below. Be sure to
change the nameplate to indicate the new pressure
setting. The new pressure setting must not exceed
the limits given in tables 1 and 2 or in any applicable
codes.

To protect equipment in the process
system from a sudden release of
pressure, always use a pressure gauge
to monitor pressure when making
adjustments.

To adjust the downstream pressure setting for
pressure-reducing service, or the upstream pressure
setting for pressure-relief service, proceed as
follows. To decrease the pressure setting, turn the
adjusting screw (key 10, figure 4) counterclockwise;
to increase the pressure setting, turn the adjusting
screw clockwise. If the spring does not provide the
required pressure setting, replace it through the
following steps:

Maintenance
Actuator parts are subject to normal wear and must
be inspected and replaced when necessary. The
frequency of inspection and replacement depends
on the severity of service conditions.
