1. Conventions

A WARNING DEFINES A CONDITION THAT COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO BOTH

THE EQUIPMENT AND THE PERSONNEL OPERATING IT. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO ANY WARNING.

Notes are general information meant to make operating the equipment easier.

Tips have been included within this bulletin to help the operator run the equipment

in the most efficient manner possible. These “Tips” are drawn from the knowledge

and experience of our staff engineers, and input from the field.

For the remainder of this bulletin, the following Conventions are in effect.

The Automatic Valve Assembly, designed for purging entrained gas from the pump reagent head, is referred to in this manual as the “AVA”.

2. General Safety

The Automatic Valve Assembly (AVA) was designed as a gas handling/priming aid for operation solely with Pulsafeeder PULSAR® and PULSAR Shadow® metering pumps. Use for any other application is considered un-safe and voids all certification markings and warranties.

2.1 Explosive Atmosphere Safety

Explosion Hazard -- Do not perform installation or maintenance of any kind on this device while circuit is live and/or the area is known to be hazardous. This unit is not intended for use in explosive or hazardous locations.

2.2 Electrical Safety

Improper application and use of the AVA can be hazardous. You are solely responsible for its use. The AVA electrical installation must conform to all relevant electrical codes. Installation and electrical

maintenance must be performed by a qualified electrician. Before installing or servicing this device, all power must be disconnected from the source at the main distribution panel.

The AVA emits electro-magnetic energy. Its use is restricted to industrial applications. You are responsible for shielding this device if necessary.

It is recommended that the AVA be powered from a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected electrical circuit.

2.3 Hydraulic Safety

Thoroughly review and adhere to the contents of the latest version of the PULSAR® or PULSAR Shadow® Installation, Operation, Maintenance (IOM) manual for hydraulic installation of your metering pump.
