Specifications - Installation and Operating Instructions

Bulletin A-SAFR

The Series SAFR is a miniature air pressure regulator that provides the

highest level of regulation accuracy and repeatability available in a
compact, lightweight body. This is ideal for applications that require exact
pressure control and substantial flow capacity under variable operating
conditions and limited space.

FEATURES

• Mountable in any position

• Mounting brackets are available

PRE-INSTALLATION

The SAFR is intended for use with industrial compressed air systems
only.

CAUTION

CAUTION

microns or less is recommended) should be installed ahead of the regulator to
prevent foreign matter in the air line from affecting the performance of the regulator.
If an air line lubricator is used, it should be located downstream of the SAFR.

Contact factory prior to use with other gases. Clean all pipe lines
to remove dirt and scale prior to installation.

This instrument vents to the atmosphere. The use of supply gas
other than air may create a hazardous environment. A filter (40

PANEL MOUNTING

The SAFR can be mounted in any position without affecting its operation.
Install the regulator in the air line. The body is fitted with a 1/8˝ NPT/BSP
for inlet and outlet connections. Apply a small amount of compound to the
male threads only. Inlet and outlet connections are labeled and should be
tightly secured. Make sure all connection are right and that the exhaust
vents in the bottom and side of the regulator are not blocked. For panel
mounting the panel mounting nut should be tightened with a torque of 60
in-lbs.

CAUTION

Repeated cycling of supply pressure may cause increased
leakage and premature product failure.

OPERATION

Turn on supply pressure slowly and then turn the adjusting knob until the
desired output pressure is reached. Since this instrument utilizes an air
bleed servo-control action, a slight sound of escaping air may be heard
in the area of the housing. This is normal and is required for the precise
control which this regulator offers.

WARNING

pressures and temperatures can exceed those listed under the specifications.
