Ensure that the reservoir is securely attached to the lubricator body before returning pressure to the lines. Proper preventive maintenance for the lubricator also includes replacing the O-rings, seals, and gaskets at regular intervals.
® Cyber A/T Saw Additional Maintenance WARNING COMPRESSED AIR HAZARD. To avoid injury, bleed all pressure from the lines before disassembling the regulator. If a regulator is not operating at its optimum capacity, we recommend cleaning the regulator and replacing the O-rings, gaskets, diaphragm, and valve assembly. Mufflers on the filter/regulator should be replaced periodically, when air pressure becomes inefficient.

Operation A Profibus system links the PLC to the components that actually do the work such as Manual sensors, actuators, motors, etc. In the case of the Cyber A/T saw, the sensors are encoders. Appendices Dwg 90507 The saw and all encoders have indicators to help troubleshoot the Profibus system. The saw indicates a red Profibus fault or a yellow Profibus fault when there is an error.
® Cyber A/T Saw Replacing the Encoders There are two (2) different styles of encoders, depending on when your saw was built or encoders were replaced last. An encoder with a straight fitting on the bottom is labeled straight-fitting encoder in Figure 2-52. A newer model of this encoder has angled fittings on the bottom.
