Description

Preconditions of Gate Adjustment:

Bonnet must be disassembled.

 

1. Close valve and check if pendulum plate is in center of flange.        

   Check can be done either visual or by measurement.

When the valve is mounted to a tool, the bonnet has to be removed and the center position can be measured by a depth gauge (see 6.)
If the centering (expected distance) is not correct, proceed:    

2. Run CPA.

Available on CPA Version 4.2.1.

 

 

 

3. Set access mode to Local.

9. Re-measure the distance.
     Distance should be in distance range, otherwise retry the whole              procedure.

 

10. Close Gate Adjustment by closing the window.
       The maintenance speed will reset to normal speed.

 

Make sure that the access mode is set to «Local», closing the Gate Adjustment tool will also ensure that the maintenance speed mode changes back to normal speed.
If the access mode is set to «Remote», the valve will remain in maintenance speed mode after closing the Gate Adjustment tool. To switch to normal speed, restart the valve.
