Original Brand New Masoneilan High Capacity Volume Booster Relay BR400

• Product name : Masoneilan-Booster-Relay-BR400
• Condition: Brand new
• Brand : GE ( Masoneilan)
• Origin: US

Product Description:

Original Brand New Masoneilan High Capacity Volume Booster Relay BR400 for applications that require fast stroking speeds using pneumatic actuaturs. Stable operation over a whide range of actuator sizes can be obtained by adjusting the bypass valve on the booster to modify the dynamic response. The BR400 and BR200 are equally suitable for use on diaphragm or piston actuators.

Features and Benefits

Flow characteristics suitable for control valves Provides short stroking times with consistanetly stable operation Built-in bypass valve with locking screw to adjust sensitivity and dynamic response Filters on both the supply and signal ports Corrosion resistant finish and stainless assembly hardware to permit use in corrosive atmosphere

Principle of Operation of Booster Relay BR400:

The input signal pressure is applied to the upper diaphragm to produce a force that is opposed in a 1:1 ratio by the output pressure acting on the lower diaphragm through the seal plate orifice. An increase in the input signal pressure will depress the top diaphragm and open the pilot valve, allowing supply pressure to the output until the output pressure action on the lower diaphragm re-balances the forces. conversely, a decrease in the input signal pressure allows the exhaust valve to open until the output pressure falls to the same value as the input signal pressure…morePneumatic Connections The pneumatic connection in Original Brand New Masoneilan High Capacity Volume Booster Relay BR400 consists of supply and output connections of ½” NPT and the signal connection is ¼” NPT. The supply and output tubing should be a minimum of ½. Blow out all piping prior to connecting to booster. Use of a soft setting anaerobic hydraulic seal,such as Loctite Hydraulic Seal 542 is recommended on the male threads of all connections

Installation

The booster relay should be close coupled to the actuator. Use of a short ½” pipe nipple between the relay output and the actuator provides both the pneumatic connection and mounting means. The preferred orientation is with the exhaust openings pointing down; however horizontal mounting is acceptable. OperationPrior to applying supply pressure to the relay, open the bypass needle valve approximately one turn. After applying pressure, note response of actuator to open and close commands from the positioner. If Excessive overshoot or hunting is seen, open needle valve until stable operation is obtained. If valve is sluggish, close needle valve until unstable operation occurs, then back off until stable operation is obtained. Turning valve clockwise (closing) speeds response but can lead to instability. Turning valve counterclockwise aids stability but will slow down the actuator’s response. Proper setting provides stable operation and acceptable response time.Maintenance Original Brand New Masoneilan High Capacity Volume Booster Relay BR400  does not require any routine maintenance. If a contaminated air supply has been used, then there may be need to clean the filters or disassemble the relay to clean the supply and exhaust seats and valves. Troubleshooting If the output pressure does not respond to changes in the input pressure, check that supply pressure is at proper value and that signal and supply filters are not plugged with foreign matter. Check also that supply and exhaust valve seats are clean. If output pressure is not stable or is slow to respond, check setting of bypass needle valve. See bypass valve setting procedure under “Operation”.
