2. Regulator pressure set at 40 PSI. Pressure over 40 PSI can cause permanent damage to the
pneumatic actuators.
3. Maximum conveyor length each way from regulator is 100'.
a. Locate the regulator in center of conveyor for minimum air pressure drop.
b. Conveyors over 200' require additional regulator.
4. Low pressure switch to be set to indicate a pressure drop below 20 PSI.
5. In high humidity or low temperature, use an air dryer.
6. Use 5 micron filter.
7. Lockout/shutoff valve to be provided by air system installer for factory high pressure line before
regulator.
8. Low pressure switch is recommended.
Other:
1. Compressor HP = total CFM ÷ 3.55
2. Air tank size = approx. 1 gallon per CFM
The formulas to determine air consumption follows:
SCFM = .0019 x number of zones x releases per minute for NBC contact accumulation.
