Regulator Operation
Recommended incoming water pressure to
the regulator assembly: 30 to 35 psi
max
[207 to 241 kPa max]
.
Adjust water column by turning the knob on
the bottom of the regulator,
STOP turning the
adjustment knob as soon as
resistance is noticed or damage will
occur.
Water column adjustment knob for PDS™
regulators is used to set a
default
water
column. This
default
will be the
operating
water column in the event of an air pressure
loss to the PDS system.
Set the
default
water column with consideration of the bird age. Lower
default
water column should be used for
young birds so the nipple valves do not become hard to operate.
PDS Controllers
CAN NOT
adjust the
operating
water column below the set
default
water column.
