[ Introduction ]
Tank blanketing is the process of using a gas, such as nitrogen, to maintain a slightly positive pressure in an enclosed storage tank. Tank blanketing prevents a stores product from vaporizing into the atmosphere, reduces product combustibility, and prevents oxidation or contamination of the product by reducing its exposure to air.Tank blanketing is utilized with various products, including: adhesives, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, fertilizers, fuels, inks, photographic chemicals, and food additives.

1. [ Flow Direction ]
Make sure the correct air direction before installation. Direction mark is shown on the valve body pointing out the air direction. It is important that wrong air input direction will cause damage on the internal parts.

2. [ Set Outlet Pressure ]

Scerw cap is always secured before its shipped out. Unlock actuator cap for outlet pressure adjustment. Using 8mm Allen Key as for the handler. a. Turn clockwise for higher pressure. b. Turn counterclockwise for lower pressure. When the pressure adjustment is complete, tighten the lock nut and secure the screw cap.

3. [ Feedback Pressure ]
Sensing port is alone with bottom plate with 1/2 NPT thread. Sensing port has to be connected with tank individually before performing.

CAUTION
VALVE WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY IF THE SENSING PORT IS NOT CONNECTED
SENSING PORT 1/2 NPT

4. [ Adjust Valve Response ]

Speed control installed on the valve body as a flow control valve, which is capable to control the sensitivities and response time of the valve. Using Flat-Head screw driver to set the speed a. turn clockwise tend to faster response time and higher accuracy, b. turn counterclockwise tend to slower response time and lower accuracy. It is not necessary to re-adjust again for first.

CAUTION
DO NOT TURN SPEED CONTROL TO FULLY CLOSE, THIS WILL LEAD TO FULLY OPEN FLOW TO OUTPUT.

5. [ Pilot Filter ]
Filter package providing clean air into main body. We recommend to replace filter element each year for the best performance. To remove filter element from the package, Using # 13 wrench turn conterclockwise to remove filter bowl. Using 5mm Allen Key to remove filter element.

Qualified personnel to install, operating and maintaining valve is necessary. Before installation, inspect the valve and tubing for any shipment damage. Make valve body interior is clean or use suitable line gaskets and good bolting practices with a flanged body.
