Re: off board compressor

Yes You need to 125 PSI emergency relief valve on your robot if you have an offboard compressor. 60 PSI may be all you need but 120 won't hurt you.

Wait a minute... the relief valve is what goes on the back of the compressor. Regulators are what I'm concerned with... so do we need a 120psi REGULATOR on the robot, or are we ok with just our 60psi regulator?

Re: off board compressor

You don't need one of the regulators set to 120, but since your not using an on board compressor you need to have one of those things on the end of the compressor, on your pneumatic system. That is what the inspection checklist was refering to.

Re: off board compressor

so on your robot you need
125 emergency relief [the brass piece]
norgren electronic pressure sensore [one with the pwm cable]
main regulator to 60psi
flow valve

??
and then spike relays and such for the compressor offboard?

Re: off board compressor

Yes, you also need a pressure gauge that reads the pressure of your tanks.
