Secondary Regulator (monier)
Hi -

We ran into a little bit of trouble with the secondary regulator on the robot. Currently, our pneumatics set up uses two regulators, one to create a zone at 60 psi, and another to create a zone at 30 psi. The primary regulator (60 psi zone) is working fine, but our secondary regulator (the one with the yellow ring) does not. It appears that air continues to leak out of the secondary regulator. The system will never fill up higher than what the secondary regulator is set at. This is the same set up as we have used before and it has worked before, but for some reason, it is no working at all. We have no idea why... Any suggestions?

Thanks.
