WARNING
CAUTION
CAUTION
CAUTION
When the desired performance is not attained with the system, in many cases it is due to the
following:
(1) Loose chips from pipe cutting and tapping, welding scraps or sealant, which catch in the intake
valve (motive medium) or check valve and prevent them from closing/operating properly.
(2) Changes in the amount of condensate inflow, motive pressure or back pressure that are in
excess of the original design.
Since successful operation of the PowerTrap system depends on proper design and installation
of the system, investigate the entire system to locate the source of problems when they occur.
When no source can be identified, inspect the PowerTrap and take whatever action is
necessary.

Determining the Problem from the Symptoms

Use the "Types of Failure and their Causes" table on the following page to determine the cause of
the problem from the type of abnormality that has occurred. Apply the corrective measures listed
in the "Causes and Corrective Measures" table on pages 32 to 34.
NEVER apply direct heat to the float. The float may expode due to
increased internal pressure, causing accidents leading to serious injury or
damage to propery and equipment.
DO NOT OPERATE the PowerTrap with piping disconnected. When it is
absolutely necessary to operate with a portion of the outlet piping
removed in order to examine an operational failure, open the motive
medium and condensate inlet valves slowly, standing a safe distance
from the open pipe section until the safety of this action is confirmed.
When disassembling or removing the product, wait until the internal
pressure equals atmospheric pressure and the surface of the product
has cooled to room temperature. Disassembling or removing the product
when it is hot or under pressure may lead to discharge of fluids, causing
burns, other injuries or damage.
Installation, inspection, maintenance, repairs, disassembly, adjustment and valve
opening/closing should be carried out only by trained maintenance personnel.
