Installation and Operational Notes
- Use with clean, dry air or inert gas filtered to 50 microns or better.
- Ensure the dew point is at least 18°F (–8°C) below minimum ambient temperature.
- Instrument air per ANSI/ISA S7.3-1975 (R1981) is acceptable.
- Requires external pilot for 0 psi operation; internal pilot needs 15 psi minimum.
- May be mounted in any position; optional stainless steel brackets available (suffix MB).
