Support Information
The Chore-Time 4 and 8 Station Pneumatic Drinking System (PDS™) Control is designed to control water line
regulators in a Chore-Time Nipple Watering System. Using this equipment for any other purpose or in a way not
within the operating recommendations specified in this manual will void the warranty and may cause personal
injury.
This manual is designed to provide comprehensive planning and installation information. The Table of Contents
provides a convenient overview of the information in this manual.
Installation Information
Please read the installation instructions in this manual prior to beginning the installation. This manual provides
the necessary information on the installation, operation and maintenance of the Chore-Time equipment you have
purchased.
The 4 and 8 Station PDS™ Control is available in as either a 4 or 8 station control. Each station is capable of
controlling up to two (2) individual VOLUMATIC™ regulators. For example a 4 station control can regulate and
flush up to 8 individual water regulators.
Compressed air must be available and regulated between 6 and 12 psi
[41.37 and 68.95 kPa].
Each PDS™ control
consumes a low volume of air when in operation. Therefore, one centrally located air compressor with a holding
tank can easily supply enough air for multiple PDS™ controls. See “Compressed Air Supply” on page 9 of this
manual for recommended air compressor specifications.
