Using the pressure equipment
21
Controlling operating pressure
You can control the operating pressure on the operating pressure
controller (7.).
Set the operating pressure such that the operating pressure
desired for the application is just obtained. This offers the
following advantages:
You save energy (compressed air),
You reduce the noise level, and
You reduce the wear on the accessory unit.
To adjust the operating pressure, proceed as follows:
Hold the pressure equipment so that you can easily read the
pressure gauge (6.) for the operating pressure.
Pull the operating pressure controller (7) up and away from the
pressure gauge.
Turn the operating pressure controller until the pressure gauge
dial (6.) stands at about 5 bar:
The average operating pressure is now set.
Adjust the desired operating pressure as below:
To increase the operating pressure, turn the operating pressure
controller (7.) clockwise.
To decrease the operating pressure, turn the operating pressure
controller (7.) anticlockwise.
