1. Manual/Pneumatic Actuator Connection:
Each cylinder valve must be fitted with either a Pilot or
Slave type actuator.
The Pilot actuator provides a manual (pull pin turn han-
dle) actuator and connections from an electrical solenoid
and pressure switch assembly. The pilot actuator also
has connections to adjacent slave cylinder actuators to
discharge entire groups of cylinders virtually simultane-
ously.
The Slave actuator is purely pneumatic; it receives pres-
sure from the pilot actuator and opens its associated cyl-
inder valve.
2. Solenoid Valve, Pressure Gauge and Supervisory
Pressure Switch Connection:
This is a threaded port that serves for the connection of
one of the following:
• Solenoid Valve, Pressure Gauge and Supervi-
sory Pressure Switch for pilot actuator connec-
tions.
• Pressure Gauge and Supervisory Pressure
Switch for slave actuator connections.
3. Discharge Outlet:
The cylinder valve outlet is connected to the distribution
piping by a flexible hose with 1/2-inch steel fittings.
Additional features of the valve include a Burst Disc,
designed to rupture upon excessive internal pressure,
and an external Bleeder Valve with indicator that acts as
a pressure relief valve.
