MINIMATIC 3-Valve Manifold |

|
|
The D/A MINIMATIC series of "3-valve" manifolds perform all the necessary functions of a 3-valve system by utilizing two 3-way valves working together instead of three independent 2-way valves. This sensible concept allows the operator to simply dial NORMAL, ZERO or BLOCKED with a 90 degree turn of the handle rather than manipulating a cluster of independent valves. Because the unique design of the MINIMATIC properly groups and interlocks the porting to provide automatic, fool-proof sequencing, it can drastically reduce the costly errors of improper operation inherent in 3-valve systems resulting in steam damaged transmitters, plugged tap lines and flushed out winterizing.

| Operation | |
Zeroing Mode 
Isolation Mode 
Note: Because of the unique fool-proof design, the Zeroing Valve and Blocking Valve handles can be dialed to their respective positions in any order without causing improper operation. |
Service Mode With both valve handles in the normal position, the MM4B is in the service mode with both process inlets open and the equalizing port blocked. Zeroing Mode By dialing the Zeroing Valve handle to the ZERO position, the MM4B is automatically switched to the zeroing mode which completely and properly prepares the transmitter for zeroing by (1)first blocking one inlet impulse line and (2) then opening the equalizing port which bypasses the blocked inlet to equalize the P cell at process pressure. Because it basically operates like a 3-way valve, this forced zeroing sequence provides fool-proof operation and safety. After correcting for zero offset, the transmitter is returned to service by simply redialing the handle to the NORMAL position which, again, correctly sequences back to the service mode by closing the equalizer first and then reopening the blocked inlet. Isolation Mode By dialing the Zeroing Valve and Blocking Valve handles to the ZERO and BLOCKED positions respectively, the MM4B is automatically switched to the islolation mode where both inlets are blocked and the equalizing port is closed. The transmitter is now safely isolated and prepared for field servicing, recalibration or removal. The transmitter is returned to service by simply redialing the handles to their NORMAL positions which, again, correctly sequences back to the service mode by leaving the equalizer blocked and reopening both inlets. |
