The patented D/A MULTIMATIC Service, Block and
Zeroing manifold offers a high degree of sophistication
for those processes which require frequent zero check, instrument
isolation, field recalibration or process line blowdown. Rather than
manipulating a cluster of independent needle valves, the MULTIMATIC
utilizes two 3-way valves working together to provide all the
functions of a bulky 7-valve system. Since all the porting and
sequencing is properly interlocked, the service technician easily and
positively selects the desired function by switching the two handles to
the permanently marked positions.
This unique "dial-a-function" method drastically reduces the
costly errors of improper operation and confusion inherent in
multi-handled manifolding systems.

Serviceability and Economy in Flow Transmitter Manifolding.

Note: Because of the unique fool-proof design,
the handles can be dialed to their respective positions in any order
without causing improper operation.

Normal Mode
With both valve handles in the normal position, the SBZ43 is in the
normal mode with both process inlets open and the equalizing
port blocked.
Zeroing Mode
By dialing the Zeroing Valve handle to the ZERO position, the SBZ43 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. 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 normal mode by closing the
equalizer first and then reopening the blocked inlet.
Isolation Mode
By dialing the handles to the ZERO and BLOCKED positions respectively,
the SBZ43 is automatically switched to the islolation mode where
both inlets are blocked and the equalizing port is closed. The
transmitter is now safely isolated. The transmitter is returned to
service by simply redialing the handles to their NORMAL positions which,
again, correctly sequences back to the normal mode by leaving the
equalizer blocked and reopening both inlets.
Calibration ModeWith both handles in the NORMAL position,
remove both service plugs. Next, dial both handles to the CALIB.
position which blocks off the process pressure and opens each side of
the transmitter to its respective service port. The transmitter can
now be drained thru the transmitter drain plugs and then calibrated thru
the convenient service connections. After calibration, replace the
plugs and redial the handles to their NORMAL positions. The transmitter
should be properly bled before returning to service.
Blowdown Mode
With one handle in the NORMAL position, remove its respective service
plug. Next, slowly dial the handle to the BLWD. position being careful
to properly monitor temperature elevations and exhaust direction.
After completing the blowdown, return the handle to the NORMAL position
and replace the plug. Repeat this procedure for the remaining side.
Note that the instrument pressure is retained in the transmitter at all
times avoiding any zero shift.
