This position allows the poppet moves to the leak sensing remain in the leak sensing position with full flow. The poppet will remain in this position assuming there is no leak the main flow blocked. If there is an position as long as the sytem pressure present. The pressure relief valve attempt to dispense while the valve is in remains above 1 psi. At less than t psi, prevents any build up of pressure under this position,the line pressure will drop, the poppet will return to Position 1 and piston when in trip position by allowing the piston will respond,and the poppet the next time the pump is activated,the relief of trapped product will return to Position 1 where the 1-1/2 XLP will perform a lire test to 3 GPM will flow to the dispensers.' 'If the dispensing system(the solenoid valve and the nozzle)is opened previous to the completion of the line test,the XLP will detect this opening as a leak and restricted flow will result. Closing of the nozzle(s)for a period of time,adequate to allow completion of the fine test,well allow the XLP to open. This,in tum,will allow full flow providing there is no additional escape for fuel in the system. ® Per the above process, this product Is designed and sold to detect leaks of approximately 3GPH or greater only. For leaks of less than approximately 36PH,please consult with your Marley Pump Company representative. XLP-31010/92 MQRLEY TME MARLEY PUMP COuPANY ♦Onson b ins uaney Com'
