Operation
The AQ Air Flow Control maintains a constant air flow rate by continually
varying pressure based on the pressure drop through an orifice.
To set the air flow control, turn both adjustment knobs 1-2 turns, and turn on
air to the downstream device. Once air flow has begun, adjust the flow
control to the desired rate. Turn off air to the downstream device and set the
soft start control to the desired base pressure.
