Support Information
The Chore-Tronics 3 Auto Adjust 4, 8, and 16 Station Pneumatic Drinking System (PDS™) Controls are 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 Auto Adjust PDS™ Control is available in 4, 8, or 16. Each station is capable of controlling up to two (2)
individual Chore-Time water 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 82.74 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 “Adjust Air supplied to the PDS Control” on
page 8 of this manual for recommended air compressor specifications.
