of gas in the downstream line. Token relief also
provides a token or signal, in the form of odor, that an
overpressure situation is occurring.
Type CP403 Integral Monitor Operation
Type CP403 combines the operation of a conventional
two-regulator wide-open monitor set into one body, see
Figure 3. The Integral True-Monitor is installed on the
inlet side of the body and serves to throttle ow and
maintain an acceptable downstream pressure in the case
where the Primary regulator fails to regulate downstream
pressure. During normal operation, the Integral Monitor
is in a wide-open state as its setpoint is set higher than
the primary regulator. See Tables 7 and 8 for guidance
regarding the setpoints of the regulator and associated
Integral Monitor sets. If the downstream pressure should
rise to the setpoint of the internal monitor due to loss of
pressure control by the primary regulator, the Integral
Monitor will assume control and regulate the ow to the
downstream system. See the Type TM600 Instruction
Manual for additional details of operation.
If a Token relief is present, the token relief will relieve
a small amount of gas to the atmosphere as an
indication that the Integral monitor is controlling the
downstream pressure.
Type CP404 Slam-shut Operation
The Type VSX4 slam-shut module on the Type CP404
regulator is a fast acting shut-off device that provides
overpressure (OPSO) or over and underpressure
(OPSO/UPSO) protection by completely shutting off the
ow of gas to the downstream system. See Tables 9
and 10 for guidance regarding the typical setpoints
of the regulator and associated OPSO and UPSO
settings. The Type VSX4’s actions are independent of
the Type CP404 regulator and of variations to the inlet
pressure. The Type VSX4 provides the option of internal
or external downstream pressure registration. External
registration requires a downstream sensing line.
The Type VSX4 shut-off disk is normally in the open
(reset) position, see Figure 4. If the downstream
pressure below the slam-shut diaphragm increases (or
decreases) until it reaches the slam-shut setpoint, this
diaphragm moves upward (or downward) to release
the trip mechanism which allows the spring force on
the stem to push the disk against the seat, shutting
off all gas ow. Refer to the Type VSX4 Instruction
Manual to reset the slam-shut device.
In order for the Underpressure Shutoff (UPSO) of
any slam-shut to be triggered, the downstream pipe
pressure must drop below the UPSO setpoint. In the
case of a downstream line break, numerous factors
can prevent the downstream pipe pressure from
decreasing below the slam-shut UPSO setpoint. These
factors include the distance of pipe to the break, the
diameter of the pipe, size of the break and the number
of restrictions, such as valves, elbows and bends,
downstream of the regulator and/or slam-shut device.
Due to these factors additional protections should be
installed to stop ow in the event of a line break.
