INSTALLATION
1. Refer to the WARNING above.
2. Do not install until you have read the entire product information
sheet.
3. Maximum pressure rating is 150 psig (10.3 bar). Temperature
range is 40°F to 150°F (4.4°C to 65.5°C).
4. Prior to installation, insure that the pressure in the air line
where this product is to be installed is depressurized (0 psig).
5. It is recommended to install an appropriate Wilkerson fi lter
upstream of the unit for maximum trouble free operation.
6. Install with the air fl ow in the same direction as the arrow on the
unit.
7. AVOID restricting the air fl ow with undersize piping or fi ttings,
unless maximum fl ow is not required.
8. Install the valve to the top of the unit. Follow the supplied
instructions with actuating valve for proper installation and
wiring if using an electric solenoid actuating valve.
9. There are two exhaust ports, one in the rear of the unit and one
on the down stream side of the unit cap. INSTALL THE PIPE
PLUG IN THE EXHAUST PORT THAT WILL NOT BE USED.
CAUTION: If plug is not installed securely, plug may
dislodge when valve exhausts and could possibly cause
injury.
10. Install the optional muffl er, if used, in the active exhaust port.
11. Turn the adjusting screw one turn open from fully closed for
initial setting; this will set the slow start portion of the valve at
approximately TEN seconds.
NOTE: Do not over tighten adjusting screw one this could
result in damage to the adjusting screw.
CAUTION: If adjusting screw is backed out until the
threads are disengaged, the adjusting screw could
dislodge when pressure is induced.
12. Apply pressure to the inlet port of the valve.
13. To actuate apply the appropriate voltage signal to actuating
valve. Turn the adjusting screw in 1/8 increments, clockwise
to increase opening time. Turn the needle counterclockwise to
decrease opening time.
NOTE: There will be a slight time delay between the
actuating of the valve and the pressure response due to
resetting of the internal components.
14. Removing the signal voltage from the activating valve will shut
off the supply pressure and depressurize the downstream side
(P2) of the valve.
MAINTENANCE
1. Depressurize the air line prior to attempting any service to the
unit.
2. Remove bottom plug, valve assembly and valve spring. Inspect
all the seals and components for damage and replace as
required. Clean all seals and components using a clean soft
cloth. Lightly lubricate the valve o-ring and bottom plug o-ring
with Magnalube-G lubricant and reassemble in reverse order.
3. Loosen the two screws that retain the top cap and remove it
from the unit. Remove the slide valve from the top cap and the
two pistons and spring from inside the slide valve. Clean all
seals and components of the slide valve pistons. Using a soft
cloth, wipe dry the slide valve, piston and internal bore (in cap).
Lightly lubricate the slide valve o-ring and piston o-rings with
Magnalube-G lubricant.
4. Inspect the top cap for damage and contaminant. Check the
internal fi lter for dogging. If internal fi lter is clogged, replace as
required.
5. Reassemble in reverse order.
6. Remove the needle from the cap and wipe clean. Inspect for
damage and replace as required. Prior to reassembly lubricate
the threads with grease Lubriplate 630-AA or equivalent and
o-ring with Magnalube-G. If needle is damaged, replace cap
assembly.
7. The electric actuating valve solenoid can not be serviced
internally. If the solenoid fails to operate, remove the solenoid
and replace.
