Re: remote control air regulator

It does not say what happens if it looses both Control Signal and Power. My guess is that if it looses Power, the "setting" of the regulator no longer changes.

So, what happens when the Main Breaker is hit? Which is lost first? Control Signal or Power? Let's say the Control Signal is lost first, then the Regulator becomes set to 0 PSI. That means it is trapping air. If you have the vent plug on the low pressure side, then the EPP4 will not let the high pressure air pass. If the vent plug is on the high pressure side, then you need to make sure it lets air pass in reverse.
