5-8 EB 3018 ENInstallationRisk of personal injury due to process me-dium escaping.Î Do not start up the regulator until allparts have been mounted.Risk of hearing loss or deafness due to loudnoise.Noise emission (e.g. cavitation or flashing)may occur during operation caused by theprocess medium and the operating condi-tions.Î Wear hearing protection when workingnear the regulator.Risk of burn injuries due to hot or very coldcomponents and pipelines.Depending on the process medium, valvecomponents and pipelines may get very hotor cold and cause burn injuries.Î Wear protective clothing and safetygloves.SAMSON regulators are delivered ready foruse. To test the regulator functioning beforestart-up or putting back the regulator intooperation, perform the following tests:DANGER!WARNING!WARNING!5.4 Testing the regulatorRisk of bursting due to incorrect opening ofpressurized equipment or components.Regulators and pipelines are pressure equip-ment that may burst when handled incor-rectly. Flying projectile fragments or the re-lease of process medium under pressure cancause serious injury or even death.Before working on the regulator:Î Depressurize all plant sections concernedand the regulator.Î Disconnect the control line.Î Drain the process medium from all theplant sections concerned as well as thevalve.Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock.Î Upon installation of the electric cables,you are required to observe the regula-tions concerning low-voltage installationsaccording to DIN VDE 0100 as well asthe regulations of your local power sup-plier.Î Use a suitable voltage supply whichguarantees that no dangerous voltagesreach the device in normal operation orin the event of a fault in the system orany other system parts.Î Only perform the electrical connectionafter switching off the supply voltage.Make sure the supply voltage cannot beswitched on again unintentionally.DANGER!DANGER!
