Connecting the leak detector to the surveillance spac
e
of the double-walled safety pipe (Worksheet LDS 8.213)
A test valve must be installed at the far end of the pipe. The low point(s) must not ex

At a PB > 5 bar up to max. 25 bar a
solenoid valve MV must be installed
between the crosspoint KP and th
e
measuring branch MA
.
The solenoid valve protects the
leak detector from non-permissible
high pressures. The solenoid valve
is monitored electronically so that
a failure of the solenoid valve
triggers the alarm.
