Start Up

Step 1: Charging the Lines

Caution: DO NOT FLUSH DRINKER LINES WITH PDS™ CONTROL unless drinker
lines are filled with water! Damage may occur if this caution is not followed.
Lines may be flushed at any time using the manual flush feature built into the Regulator.
Once all the tubing has been ran from the Control and connected to the Regulators and before compressed air is
connected to the PDS Control, the drinker lines should be charged with water. This can be done by turning the
selector knob on each Regulator to the "ON" position. It is recommended to charge two lines at a time.

Step 2: Connecting the compressed air supply

Air compressor (not supplied) guidelines to operate the system.
• All air compressors must have a minimum rating to run 4 times per hour for 5 minutes each run.
• One (1) PDS™ Control - 2 gallon minimum recommended air supply tank.
• Two (2) - four (4) PDS™ Controls - 5 gallon minimum recommended air supply tank.
• Five (5) - six (6) PDS™ Controls - 10 gallon minimum recommended air supply tank.
• Air regulator with 1/4" fitting.
• Approved air regulators:
• Grainger Industrial Supply Part number 4ZMO8
• Grainger Industrial Supply Part number 4ZMO6
• NAPA Part number 90-725
Note: The PDS Control operates between 6 & 12 psi [41.37 kPa & 82.74 kPa]. Most air Regulators
supplied with air compressors will not effectively regulate air pressure at this low pressure. Chore-
Time recommends using one of the approved air regulators listed above.
Caution: DO NOT FLUSH DRINKER LINES WITH PDS™ CONTROL unless drinker
lines are pressurized with water! Damage may occur if this caution is not followed.
Lines may be flushed at any time using the manual flush mode feature built into the Regulator
Each regulator tubing lead may be used to supply air to two nipple line regulator inlets. This will assure enough
flush water volume per line to move air and sediment down the nipple lines and out.
Run each air supply tube across the ceiling to a 1/4" tee to split the
line and then follow the Regulator water supply line down to the
Regulator and attach it using the air supply connection. see figure
7.

Step 3: Air Leak Test

Check each control and house for air leaks with the water column
gauge at 8 inches [20.32 cm]. To check for air leaks in the control
or the house pinch the incoming air supply tube to shut off the
incoming air pressure. Watch the air pressure gauge on the control,
the gauge should not drop any more than 2 psi [13.79 kPa] in 1
minute. If the air pressure does drop faster than 2 psi [13.79 kPa]
in 1 minute, refer to the "TroubleShooting" on page 18. Repeat
this procedure for every PDS control.
