1.3 Technical data
The pressure regulator TORNADO 2000 conforms to the latest standard DIN/EN/ISO 2503
For special versions, this standard is taken into account as appropriate.
For other gases, this flow rate is
multiplied by the following factors:
Nitrogen 1,05
Hydrogen 4,00
Argon 0,90
CO 0,85

4. Start-up
4.1 Before starting read the specifications of this instruction for use and observe it while
working.
4.2 Check, that the cylinder valve thread, the pressure regulator connector and the
connection seals are without any damage (blow through if nessesary).
Do not use the pressure regulator if damaged.

2) General recommendations: Avoid flow rates above 1 m /h.
3) Steam pressure for MPS at 65°C. This value can change, depending on the components of the gas mixture.
4) Steam pressure for propane at 70°C.
5) Depending on the enviromental situations, a heating can be nessecary to reach the nominal flow rate when
using LPG and CO .

4.3 Connect the pressure regulator to the closed gas cylinder valve (1). Tighten it gas-tight
with a suitable spanner.
4.4 Release the positioning spring with hand knob (4); first close shut-off valve at the
consumer unit; open shut-off valve (1) slowly (High pressure gauge 3 indicate cylinder
pressure); adjust required outlet pressure with hand knob (4). Open slightly shut-off
valve at the consumer unit. Correct pressure setting in case of a decrease of pressure.

2. Safety instructions
Do not connect the pressure regulators for tapping points to a gas cylinder.
2.1 All items of informations marked with are valid as special safety instructions.
2.2 These pressure regulators adhere to state-of-the-art technology and
to the demands of the exsiting standards and regulations.
2.3 Changes or modifications are not allowed to be made to the pressure regulator
without the prior consent of the manufacturer.
2.4 The equipment must be operated by suitable trained personnel only.
2.5 The result of improper handling and improper use as intended can involve risks
for the user and other persons as well as damage to the device.
2.6 Regulations to be adhered to:
- BGV A1 (VBG 1), “General Specifications”
- BGV D1 (VBG 15), “Welding, Cutting and Related Procedures “
- BGV B7 (VBG 62), “Oxygene”
Special attention has to be paid to the country specific laws, regulations and
procedures concerning the use of this type of equipment.
2.7 Use only for gas types the pressure regulator is labelled for (see item 3).
2.8 Do not use at temperatures below -30°C or above +60°C.
2.9 The valve has always to be opened slowly!
2.10 All parts coming into contact with oxygen must be kept in oil-free and grease-
free condition.
