Verify that all operational requirements
have been met
• Supply pressure must be clean, dry inert gas or
instrument grade air that meets the requirements
of ISA Standard 7.0.01.
• Install lters upstream of the mechanical regulator,
as well as the ER5000, to prevent contamination
and excess moisture from entering either device.
• Check that all supply lines, ttings, connections,
lters, valves and gauges have adequate pressure
ratings for the operating conditions.
• Check that the mechanical regulator’s dome port
mates correctly with the 1/2" SAE x 1/8" NPTF
adaptor. Additional ttings may be required.
• Follow the appropriate industrial standards for the
intended function.
Verify that all safety requirements have been met
Read and be sure you understand, all warnings and cautions in
the Safety, Installation & Operations Precautions section.
WARNING
• Improper selection, improper installation, improper maintenance,
misuse or abuse of this controller or related accessories can cause
property damage, serious injury or death.
• Supply pressure must be clean, dry inert gas or air that meets the
requirements of ISA Standard 7.0.01.
• Severe personal injury or property damage may occur from an
uncontrolled process if the instrument supply medium is not
clean, dry, oil free, nonflammable and noncorrosive. While use
and regular maintenance of a filter that removes particles larger
than 40 micrometers in diameter will suffice in most applications,
further filtration down to 10 micrometer particle size is
recommended. Moisture should be kept to a minimum.
WARNING
Installation in a hazardous location requires additional steps not
described in this section. Refer to Installing a Hazardous Location
Model (ER5050) on page 110 for more information.
