MAINTENANCE

1 - REGULATOR

2 - FILTER

PROBLEM

1.1 -

 The regulator

discharges air from the
relief valve

1.2 - 

 The regulator

discharges air from its
relieving

1.3 - 

 The regulator does

not reach the required
pressure

1.4 -

  Fine regulation not

possible

1.5 - 

After an air intake,

the pressure is lower than
the preset value

1.6 - 

 The knob does not

rotate

CAUSE

Downstream pressure
higher than set pressure

The controlled relief of
the pilot regulator lets a
quantity of audible air
through

Upstream pressure lower
than set pressure

Rated pressure too low

Excessive air intake

Rated pressure too high

Regulator setting in
descending order (from
high to low pressure)

Knob in  locked position

PROBLEM

2.1- 

The filter equipped

with condensate drain
RMSA type, doesn’t
release the accumulated
condensate

2.2 -

 Decreased flow rate

CAUSE

RMSA tap closed

Filter  continuously
pressurised

Filter clogged

REMEDY

Turn tap anticlockwise to
open it.

Press the tap to drain out
condensate by hand

Replace the filtering
element

REMEDY

The air relief  stops when
the pressures are
balanced

It’s not defect, but it’s
normal for these pressure
regulators

Regulate pressure
upstream

Check the rating of the
regulator

Check the pressure/flow
rate charts for the
regulator in the catalogue

To increase sensitivity, use
a regulator with a rated
pressure as close as
possible to the desired
value.

Pressure must be set in
ascending order (from
low to high pressure)

Release the knob by
pulling it upwards and
then regulate.

4 - SHUT-OFF VALVE (V3V)

PROBLEM

4.1 - 

 No air passes

downstream

4.2 -

 The air gets

continuously released

CAUSE

In the manual version the
knob is in OFF position

No pneumatic control in
the pneumatic version

The manual V3V is in
OFF position

REMEDY

Put the knob on the ON
position

Check the presence of the
pneumatic control

Put the knob on the ON
position

3 - PRESSURE SWITCH

PROBLEM

3.1 -

 The pressure switch

intervenes too often

3.2 -

 The knob does not

rotate

CAUSE

The setting value is too
close to the regulated

Knob in  locked position

REMEDY

Lower the intervention
point of the pressure
switch

Release the knob by
pulling it upwards and
then regulate.

5 - SOFT START VALVE (APR)

PROBLEM

5.1 - 

 No air passes

downstream

5.2 - 

 The soft start valve

does not start (immediate
full-port passage of air)

5.3 -

 The knob does not

rotate

CAUSE

Regulation knob fully
closed

No electrical control in
the electropneumatic
version

Regulation knob fully
open

Knob in  locked position

REMEDY

Open the needles as
required

Check that the electric
coil is energised

Adjust the needles as
required

Release the knob by
pulling it upwards and
then regulate

The only routine maintenance required is replacement of the filter cartridge. Refer to the section entitled “FILTER” for instructions.
The unit may sometimes require extraordinary maintenance. A few examples and possible remedies are given below.

NB: Maintenance must be carried out by properly qualified and trained personnel.
Before doing anything, switch off  the compressed air  supply and cut off the power supply  by unscrewing and removing
the connector ring nut.
