Installation & Operation Precautions
TESCOM Industrial Controls
INTRODUCTION
Prior to installing or operating any equipment, read and follow all the information listed. Improper
application and operation can result in damage to equipment or severe personal injury.
All possible hazards and precautionary measures cannot be covered here. It is recommended that
prior to using this equipment, you fully understand and comply with existing safety regulations.
OXYGEN SERVICE
Specification of the materials in regulators used for oxygen service is the USER’S
RESPONSIBILITY. Cleaning for oxygen service to 3000 PSIG is supplied standard by Tescom at
no additional cost for mechanical regulators. Cleaning for service above 3000 PSIG may be
contracted through an outside source.
COMPATIBILITY
Tescom may suggest material for use with specific media upon request. Suggestions are based on
technical compatibility resources through associations and manufacturers. Tescom does NOT
guarantee materials to be compatible with specific media - THIS IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF
THE USER! Users must test under operating conditions to determine suitability of materials in an
application.
PRESSURE RATING
Verify the designed pressure rating of the equipment. Check supply lines, fittings, connections,
filters, valves and gauges. All must be adequate for the supply and operating pressure.
RELIEF PROTECTION
A regulator is not intended to be used as a shut-off device. A pressure relief device should be
installed downstream of the regulator to protect the process equipment in the case of a rise in
operating pressure. When the regulator is not in use, the supply pressure should be closed.
FILTRATION
An auxiliary upstream filter is recommended for use in all media. Gaseous media should be free of
excessive moisture to prevent icing of the equipment.
MAINTENANCE
Periodic inspection and scheduled maintenance of your equipment is essential for continued safe
and satisfactory operation. The frequency of servicing will depend on the application.
REPAIR SERVICE
Any equipment in need of service should be returned to your equipment supplier for evaluation and
prompt service. If repairable, your equipment will be restored to the original factory performance
specifications. A flat fee repair charge has been established for each standard model and the
original equipment warranty will be reinstated after a complete overhaul.
