SETUP
Air and Gas Supply Requirements
If making hard plumbing connections, avoid using iron pipe. Never use PTFE tape on any joint preparation. After
installation, pressurize the entire system and check for leaks.
Air Supply
Use cylinder compressed air or shop compressed air as the source supply for the MAX200. Use an inert gas hose
to connect the air supply to the input connection on the filter/pressure regulator mounted on the rear of the power
supply.
WARNING
Do not exceed 150 psi to the filter/pressure regulator when using cylinder compressed air or
shop compressed air. The plastic filter bowl may explode if this pressure is exceeded causing
serious injury. See the warning label on the filter bowl for other safety warnings.
Cylinder Compressed Air
The cylinder air supply must be clean, dry and oil-free. A high-pressure regulator on the cylinder must be used and
must be capable of delivering air at a pressure of between 110 and 130 psi to the filter/pressure regulator on the
power supply. The filter/pressure regulator must be set for a 90 psi input to the power supply (refer to the procedure
below). Refer to the Cut Charts in Section 4 for detailed information.
Shop Compressed Air
The shop air supply must be clean, dry and oil-free. Shop air must be capable of delivering air at a pressure of
between 110 and 130 psi to the filter/pressure regulator on the power supply. The filter/pressure regulator must be
set for a 90 psi input to the power supply (refer to the procedure below). Refer to the Cut Charts in Section 4 for
detailed information.
Adjusting the Filter/Pressure Regulator
To adjust the filter/pressure regulator for the required air pressure (90 psi) to the power supply:
1. Turn the lock knob, which secures the adjusting knob, counter clockwise (ccw).
2. Set the adjusting knob until the pressure gauge indicates 90 psi.
3. Turn the lock knob clockwise (cw) to secure the adjusting knob.
