Note 

Fluke Calibration recommends having the high pressure generated by the booster be 

significantly higher than the desired high-pressure output of the Product. The benefits are 

storing high-pressure gas to assure a constant high-pressure output when needed and 

minimizing output fluctuation in the regulator. The disadvantage is that an overpressure 

condition could occur at the output if the operator improperly sets the high pressure adjust 

regulator. 

 

4.  Rotate the drive air regulator clockwise until the desired pressure is indicated on the booster drive gauge.

 Caution 

Maximum shop drive air pressure to the DRIVE port of the drive air regulator should not 
exceed 1.7 MPa (250 psi) in the GBK-50M and the GBK-110M. Pressure in excess of this 
range may result in an overpressure condition on the inlet side of the high-pressure 
adjust regulator. 
 

5.  Open the booster drive shut-off valve. The booster begins to operate when the valve is opened. Exhausting gas 

noise may startle the operator. Be prepared for this operation. 

Increase Pressure 

1.  Make sure that the high-pressure output is connected to the high-pressure gas point of use. If using the Product 

with an 8270A or 8370A Pressure Controller, place the controller in Measure or Vent mode so that there is no 
gas flow while setting the regulator. 

2.  Rotate the high-pressure regulator clockwise until the desired pressure is indicated on the high-pressure gauge. 

To correctly set the pressure, gas flow must not occur. If flow is present in the circuit when the regulator is 
adjusted, the pressure increases when the flow is reduced. 

Decrease Pressure 

Note 

The high-pressure adjust regulator is a venting type. Therefore, it is possible to regulate 

pressure down without gas flow through the regulator. 

 

1.  Rotate the high-pressure regulator counter-clockwise until a pressure below the setpoint is achieved as 

indicated on the high-pressure gauge. 

2.  Rotate the high-pressure regulator clockwise until the desired pressure is indicated on the high-pressure gauge 

to set the pressure to the final setpoint. 

Maintenance and Adjustments 

Note 

Numerical references in this section refer to Table 5 and 6, depending on the model. 

Product maintenance is explained in this section.
