Safety instructions

General safety instructions

The supply pressure regulators may only be mounted, started up or serviced

by fully trained and qualified personnel, observing the accepted industry

codes and practices. Make sure employees or third persons are not exposed

to any danger. All safety instructions and warnings in these mounting and

operating instructions, particularly those concerning assembly, start-up and

maintenance, must be observed.

Proper shipping and appropriate storage of the regulators are assumed.

1 Design and principle of

operation

The supply pressure regulator is used to sup-

ply pneumatic measuring and control equip-

ment with a constant air supply.

The maximum 12 bar pressure of the com-

pressed air network in a plant is reduced to

an adjustable minimum pressure of 0.2 to

1.6 bar or 0.5 to 6 bar.

At the inlet side, the supply pressure regula-

tor is equipped with a filter cartridge with a

mesh size of 20 µm. In addition, the regula-

tor can also be equipped with a filter recep-

tacle and a pressure gauge on the outlet

side.

The compressed air at the inlet flows across

the filter and through the free cross-sectional

area between the seat (1.1) and plug (1.2).

It leaves the outlet with a reduced pressure

depending on the plug position.

The output pressure to be controlled is trans-

ferred through the bore (1.3) to the operat-

ing diaphragm (2) where it is converted into

a positioning force. This force is used to

move the valve plug depending on the force

of the positioning spring (4).

Turning the set point screw (7) causes the

spring force to change and, as a result, the

required set point is adjusted.

The set point ranges of the supply pressure

regulator from 0.2 to 1.6 bar and 0.5 to

6 bar are determined by various tensions of

the installed positioning spring (4).

Condensed water contained in the com-

pressed air can be collected and drained

when the filter cartridge (9) is mounted hori-

zontally or the filter receptacle (12) is sus-

pended downwards. The stopper (10) can

be unscrewed or the manual drainage can

be activated (drain plug (15) in old versions)

to drain condensed water.

Note: Tighten the drain plug by hand only.

The maximum permissible tightening torque

is 3 Nm.

2 Mounting the supply

pressure regulator

To prevent excessive amounts of condensed

water from collecting, the distance between

the compressor and supply pressure regula-

tor should be kept as short as possible.

Make sure the drain plug faces downwards

in versions with a filter receptacle.

2.1 Compact supply pressure

regulator

The supply pressure regulator can either be

mounted directly in the pipeline of the air

supply or on rails or brackets using the cor-

responding mounting parts (see accessories

table in section 7).

Observe the direction of flow of the supply

air. An arrow on the nameplate indicates

the direction.

2.1.1 Direction of flow

In the compact supply pressure regulators

4708-10xx/-11xx/-14xx and -17xx the

direction of flow can be changed as follows:

1. Unscrew both fixing screws and lift the

supply pressure regulator off its connect-

ing plate.

2. Remove the diverting gasket, turn it

180 degrees and reposition it as shown

in Fig. 3.

Note: The long rubber finger of the gas-

ket must always point in the direction of

the regulator outlet.

3. Fasten the supply pressure regulator

onto the connecting plate.

4. Stick the enclosed adhesive label over

the arrow of the nameplate, ensuring the

arrow indicates that the supply air flows

in the opposite direction.

2.1.2 Turning the supply pressure

regulator

The supply pressure regulator can be turned

on its connecting plate to allow the set point

screw to face either up or down.

1. Unscrew both fixing screws and lift the

supply pressure regulator off its connect-

ing plate.

2. Pull the diverting gasket out of the regu-

lator and keep it in this position.

3. Turn the regulator 180 degrees and re-

insert the gasket. In this way, you keep

the bore assignment of the gasket for

supply air input and regulator outlet.

Note: The long rubber finger of the gas-

ket must always point in the direction of

the regulator outlet (reduced supply

pressure).

4. Fasten the regulator onto the connecting

plate.

2.2 Supply pressure regulators

for attachment to positioners

and actuators

The supply pressure regulator versions in-

tended for attachment to positioners and ac-

tuators are equipped with various adapter

plates for the attachment.

If required, the installation position of the

supply pressure regulator can be changed

by turning it 180° on its adapter plate to al-

low the set point screw/adjustment knob to

face either up or down. This applies particu-

larly for positioners which can be attached

either to the left or right side of the valve

yoke to determine the operating direction

and fail-safe action of the actuator.

To turn the supply pressure regulator, pro-

ceed as described for the compact supply

pressure regulator in section 2.1.2. The reg-

ulator is turned on its adapter plate instead

of on the connecting plate.

Regulators for Types 3730/3766/3767/

3780/3785/3787 Positioners

Type 4708-53xx for Type 3271 Actuator

and Type 3277 Actuator with 120 cm² as

well as 240 to 700 cm² with hooked-up

valve accessories.

1. Insert the gasket (2) into the recess of the

adapter plate (1).

2. Place the supply pressure regulator on

the positioner on the side where the

pneumatic connections SUPPLY and

OUTPUT are located. Screw tight using

both M5 screws (3).

Type 4708-54xx for rotary actuators.

Proceed to mount as Type 4708-53xx.

Type 4708-54xx has a second output

sealed with a stopper. This is intended for

reduced supply air. It can be used to supply

a second device, if required (e.g. a pilot-op-

erated solenoid valve).
