a) Standard
With a mechanical regulator
Set the value of the pre-fill pressure manually adjusting the regulator knob and start a
"pre reg. adjust" special cycle then set the associated parameters.
Associated parameters to be set:
Max P-FILL (maximum pre-fill pressure limit), Pre-
FILL (pre-fill time), Pre-DUMP (pre-dump time).
b) Instruction
With a mechanical regulator
Set a target value for the pre-fill pressure and open the regulator to a pressure at least
greater than the target. When the target pressure is reached, filling is stopped.
Associated parameters to set:
I-P-Fill (target value), Pre-FILL (pre-fill time), Pre-DUMP
(pre-dump time).
Note: with an electronic regulator, the pressure and pre-fill time parameters can be set
using either the Standard or Instruction functions.
c) Ballistic
This fill type enables fluctuation in the air pressure (filling parts with a high level of
deformation) and in particular allows the maximum fill limit to be exceeded without the
cycle stopping and an error message being displayed. However, in order to move into
stabilisation mode, the test pressure must be within the limits at end of fill.
Associated parameters to be set:
Pre-FILL (pre-fill time), Pre-DUMP (pre-dump time).
) Select the option and enter settings if necessary.
2.1.3. 6) Pre-fill regulator
This function provides a choice of two regulators to be used for pre-fill (1 or 2).
) Select the option and enter settings if necessary.
2.1.3. 7) Fill mode (Kind of fill)
This function provides a choice of three possible types of fill.
a) Standard
With a mechanical regulator
Set the fill pressure value manually using the regulator knob and start a « regulator
adjustment » special cycle.
b) Instruction
The user sets a target value for the fill pressure and opens the regulator to full flow.
When the target pressure is reached, the air supply cuts off automatically.
Associated parameters to be set:
I. FILL (fill target).
