5 Mounting the regulator
Î To prevent excessive amounts of con-
densed water from collecting, keep the
distance between the compressor and
supply pressure regulator as short as
possible.
Î Make sure the drain plug faces down-
wards in versions with a lter receptacle.
5.1 Compact supply pressure
regulator
The supply pressure regulator can either be
mounted directly in the pipeline of the air
supply or on rails or brackets using the cor-
responding mounting parts (see accessories
in section3.4).
Observe the direction of ow of the supply
air. An arrow on the nameplate indicates the
direction.
5.1.1 Directionofow
In the compact supply pressure regulators
(Types4708-10xx/-11xx/-14xx and
-17xx), the direction of ow can be changed
as follows:
1. Unscrew the two fastening screws and lift
the regulator off its connecting plate.
2. Remove the diverting gasket, turn it 180
degrees and reposition it (Fig.3).
Î The long rubber nger of the gasket must
always point in the direction of the regu-
lator outlet.
3. Fasten the supply pressure regulator onto
the connecting plate.
4. Stick the adhesive label included in the
accessories over the arrow of the
nameplate, making sure that the arrow
indicates that the supply air ows in the
opposite direction.
