Gauges and Regulators
See Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-3 for the location of the Fluid Pressure Gauges and the Valve
Pressure Gauges on the front panel. To reach the Regulator Controls, you must open the
front doors or reach through the Light Curtain and reach below and behind the Control Panel
as shown in Figure 2-1 or Figure 2-3. Refer to detailed adjustment instructions following the
gauge and regulator descriptions.
In order to reach inside the Century Series system front door or
through a Light Curtain, you must fully understand the related

Do not apply pressure above 621 kPa (90 psi) under any
circumstances. If the valve or dispensing system is not working
properly, refer to Section 6 - Troubleshooting
.
Fluid Pressure (Gauges and Regulators)
Fluid pressure controls the flow of air from the Main Air In through the clear fluid pressure
air line. Depending on your application, this air line connects to the top of the syringe. When
your dispensing system is ON, air is constantly applied to the syringe to maintain fluid flow.
To understand in more detail how the air is used for fluid pumps or valves operation, refer to
the section in this manual relevant to your specific fluid pump or valve.
Maximum recommended pressure for Century Series systems is 621 kPa (90 psi).
Valve Pressure (Gauges and Regulators)
Depending on your application, valve pressure controls the flow of air from the Main Air In
through air lines that connect to the fluid pump or valve. Air pressure pushes the fluid
pump/valve open or closed during dispensing. Your dispensing program controls the
pressure to operate the fluid pump or valve while dispensing fluid. To understand in more
detail how the air is used for fluid pumps or valves operation, refer to the section in this
manual relevant to your specific fluid pump or valve.
Maximum recommended pressure for Century Series systems is 621 kPa (90 psi).
Main Air In
This air intake port next to the air filter provides air to the system via a clear air line. This
port connects to your facility’s air source.
