NOTICE
When using a reversing amplier, the
pressure regulator (9) must be turned
as far as it will go in the clockwise di
-
rection.
Remove the sealing plug (1.5) before
mounting the reversing amplier. The
rubber seal (1.4) must remain in
-
stalled.

to the signal pressure
connection on the actuator that causes the
valve to open when the pressure rises.
A2: Connect output A
2
to the signal pressure
connection on the actuator that causes the
valve to close when the pressure rises.
