Tubing
Route the regulator tubing so any condensation in the air
lines will not run into the control. Allow slack in the
regulator tube leads so that they can be pinched for
maintenance and diagnostic purposes,
Connect the regulator tubing to the control tube leads using
tube couplings. Warming the end of the tubing will aid in
installation.
Caution: Over-Heating of tube end can cause
distortion and leaking.
Adjust Air supplied to the PDS Control
Caution: DO NOT FLUSH DRINKER
LINES WITH PDS™ CONTROL
unless drinker lines are
pressurized with water! Damage
may occur if this caution is not
followed.
BEFORE
connecting the compressed air supply to the
control,
the compressed air supplied to the PDS™
control, must be regulated between
6 and 12 psi
[41.37
and 82.74 kPa]
.
Failure to do this will result in damage
to the gauges and possibly other components.
After the
air supplied from the compressor is confirmed to be
between 6 and 12 psi
[41.37 and 82.74 kPa]
, connect the air supply to the incoming pressure line on the PDS
control.
Air Pressure Gauge
The PDS Control has an Air Pressure Gauge (
) to
monitor the incoming air pressure. Under normal operating
conditions, this gauge should show between 6 and 12 psi
[41.37 and
82.74 kPa]
of air pressure.
Regulator Minimum Water Column Provision
In the event of air pressure loss to the PDS Control an internal spring
in the Regulator will maintain a minimum water column height until
the air supply can be restored. This minimum water pressure will be
in the 4" to 6" [10.2cm to 15.2cm] range and will vary with the
incoming water supply pressure. The PDS Control cannot adjust the
water column height below this minimum.
