Checking the Air Supply<br />

A reciprocating or less than 60° rotation rotary valve is closed.<br />

A greater than 60° rotation rotary valve is at 45° of rotation (mid stroke for a 90°<br />

rotation rotary valve).<br />

Use this procedure to check the air supply.<br />

1. Turn on the air supply.<br />

2. Adjust the filter regulator.<br />

3. Supply pressure must be a minimum of 10 psi (.69 bar, 68.97 kPa) greater than the<br />

spring range of the actuator but may not exceed the rated actuator pressure. Refer<br />

to the valve or actuator instruction manual.<br />

4. Inspect the tubing connections between the filter-regulator <strong>and</strong> the positioner for<br />

leaks.<br />

5. Verify that the tubing is not bent or crushed.<br />

6. Verify that all fittings are leak tight.<br />

CAUTION<br />

Do not use Teflon pipe seal tape as it can shred into<br />

particles harmful to the pneumatic components.<br />
