Operating Instructions

The Caramatic gas pressure regulator kit consists of a central regulator "A" and a changeover regulator "B".
This arrangement provides consistent gas pressure (30 or 50 mbar), irrespective of which cylinder is supplying the
gas.
The rotary knob (1) at changeover regulator "B" can be used to control which of the gas cylinders is the currently
operative and which is the cylinder.
If, for example, rotary knob (1) is in Reserve position, priority will be given to obtaining gas from the cylinder with the
central regulator "A". The gas cylinder with changeover regulator "B" then serves as the spare cylinder. However,
if the rotary knob (1) is in Operation position, priority will be given to obtaining gas from the cylinder with changeover
regulator "B" and the gas cylinder with central regulator "A" then serves as the spare cylinder.
Always turn the rotary knob (1) as far as it will go to the positions "Operation" or "Reserve"! Gas will al-
ways be obtained first from the cylinder selected via the rotary knob (1).
The gas pressure regulator kit then automatically switches to the previously defined spare cylinder.
Then, the setting of the relevant pressure gauge (2) is "0" and indicates an empty gas cylinder.

Important notes

1. Always stand gas cylinders upright and protect them from falling over (particularly 33 kg gas cylinders).
2. The regulators are equipped with a combination connector and are suitable for commercially available 3 kg, 5 kg, 11
kg and 33 kg gas cylinders. Also refer to the illustration below, Changing cylinders.
3. Do not kink gas hoses or subject them to excessive bending!
4. If the gas system is to be operated with one cylinder only (e.g. in summer), use the central regulator "A". The ro-
tary knob (1) on changeover regulator "B" must be turned to "Reserve" position. Hook the unused changeover
regulator "B" onto the regulator holder (5) to prevent it from being damaged.
5. The pressure gauges (2) do not indicate how much gas is in the cylinder, but the current pressure in the gas cylinder
(depending on ambient temperature).
6. To prevent problems with the gas system during winter, the gas pressure regulator kit can also be equipped with one
or two de-icing systems (Eis-Ex "C").

Maintenance

Pressure regulating equipment and hoses used in boats ("Marine") must be replaced with new ones not later than 6
years after the date of manufacture, those used in caravans and motor caravans ("Caravan") not later than 10 years
after the date of manufacture. This is the responsibility of the operator.
Changing cylinders
If one of the pressure gauges (2) reads "0", the gas cylinder concerned is empty.The gas pressure regulator kit allows
you to replace an empty gas cylinder without interrupting consumer operation (equipment is supplied with gas from
spare cylinder).

When changing cylinders, do not smoke and keep away from naked flames!
Observe the respective acts, regulations, and technical specifications!
We recommend to perform a LEAK CHECK and a CHECK of the FUNCTIONS of the pressure regulator from time to
time during the ongoing operation of the liquefied gas unit. Perform a LEAK CHECK at the connection each time after
changing a gas cylinder!
After changing an empty gas cylinder, switch the gas supply to the other cylinder by simply turning the rotary knob (1)
by 180°. The previous spare cylinder now becomes the currently operated cylinder. The new, full gas cylinder is now
available as the spare cylinder.
All installed seals must be clean and undamaged!
Only use open-end wrenches of appropriate widths. Always hold up at the connecting
branch.
Wing or knurled nuts must only be hand-tightened. Do not use tools. LH = anticlockwise
thread!
