I was thinking they might be vents for exaust but then what would the "EB" and "EA" openings be for? any suggestions? Thanks!

"X" and "PE" are not used. "EA" and "EB" are the exhaust for the A and B ports. They do not need anything hooked up to them.

You can run a secondary regulator between the main regulator and the P port for both A and B regulation or in series after A or B for regulating the pressure on just one side of the cylinder. The flow regulators go on the cylinder and control flow out of the cylinder.

We also wire the red leads (one each) to the M+ and M- on the spike and run the blacks together to the negative part of the breaker panel.
