13. Integral relief valve
13.1 Function
If the pump is the only pump in the system, the integral relief
valve (optional) protects the complete discharge side of the
discharge line system from an excessive pressure build-up.
The valve opens if the pressure rises above its set opening
pressure, and the dosing medium can return to the dosing tank.
In contrast to relief valves connected in series, the integral valve
also provides pump protection if the discharge valve is dirty or
blocked.
13.2 Permissible media
Warnin g
Dosing heads with integral relief valve must not
be used for abrasive or crystallising media.
13.3 Connections
1. Connect the suction line to the suction valve (A).
2. Connect the discharge line to the discharge valve (B).
3. Connect the overflow line to the relief valve (C) and allow the
medium to flow by gravity into the tank or to an appropriate
overflow.
Warnin g
When dosing dangerous media, observe the
corresponding safety precautions!
Wear protective clothing (gloves and goggles)
when working on the dosing head, connections
or lines!
13.4.2 Setting the valve opening pressure
To change the factory-set opening pressure, proceed as follows:
The pump must be running.
1. Remove the cap from the top part of the relief valve.
2. Close the isolating valve after the pressure gauge.
3. When overflowing of the dosing medium is heard, read the
current opening pressure on the pressure gauge.

Fig. 19 Connections
Warnin g
Never start the pump if the overflow line is not
correctly connected to the relief valve.
13.4 Setting of opening pressure
13.4.1 General
The opening pressure can only be set if a pressure gauge is
installed in the system between the pump and the next isolating
valve or pressure-loading valve.
Warnin g
Settings on the relief valve must only be carried
out by authorised and qualified personnel!
The opening pressure of the relief valve is factory-set to the
maximum pump counter-pressure specified in the technical data.
The opening pressure during operation depends on various
factors, e.g. the flow, the stroke frequency of the pump, or the
counter-pressure. If an exact setting is required, the relief valve
must be adapted to the local conditions.
Warnin g
Never set the opening pressure to values higher
than the maximum permissible operating
pressure of the dosing system and dosing pump.
Fig. 20 Setting of opening pressure
4. Change the pressure as follows:
– To increase the pressure, turn the knob clockwise using
pointed pliers until the desired opening pressure is reached.
– To reduce the pressure, turn the knob counter-clockwise
using pointed pliers until the desired opening pressure is
reached.
5. Open the isolating valve after the pressure gauge.
6. Refit the cap.
13.5 Venting
The relief valve can also be opened manually, thus serving as a
TM03 6311 4506
venting valve at the same time. If manual venting is required (e.g.
during start-up or when the tank has been replaced), proceed as
follows:
• Turn the knob so that the smaller cut-out rests on the nub of
the dosing head (the rotary knob is then further away from the
dosing head). The valve spring is unloaded (position B).
• Once the pump has been completely vented, turn the knob
back into position A "Operating".
