Valve Actuation Air Source Your CalTrak XL’s internal valve actuates by air pressure, and must be connected to a filtered oil free air source of at least 80 psi (5516 mbar) and no higher than 100 psi (6895 mbar). Using tubing (not supplied) and the 1/4 inch (6.35mm) Swagelok Valve Actuation Fitting on the rear of the unit, connect your laboratory air to your CalTrak XL. - Page 9 (reset). If for any reason the valve doesn’t open, the piston will move to the top of the flow cell and a safety switch will automatically reset the CalTrak XL. If for any reason the valve doesn’t open, the piston will remain at the top of the flow cell and pressure will build.
