TEST BENCH CONNECTION/OPERATION
TEST BENCH CONNECTIONS
Connect a water supply hose to the water inlet connection which is located at the rear of the control
cabinet.
Connect a water drain hose to the water drain connection located at the rear of the test bench. Run the
drain line to an appropriate drainage area.
Connect an air supply (80 psi Min) to the air inlet/filter, and make certain that the lubricator is filled with
oil. This must be checked periodically to assure proper operation of the pump.
Note: for optimum performance an air supply of 28 SCFM is recommended.
Plug the electrical cord into a standard 110VAC outlet.
TEST BENCH OPERATION
Prior to operating bench, make sure that pressure regulator knob is
adjusted all the way out (counterclockwise).
Follow the screen prompts to input test parameters.
Raise the tank lid and connect hose to be tested to the high
pressure manifold.
Note: The manifold port threads are a special high-pressure coned
configuration that only accepts the proper mating fittings. (Adapters
are available to connect various thread sizes to the manifold.)
Secure the supplied plugs in unused manifold ports.
It is recommended that a high pressure bleed valve be installed on
the free end of the hose for purging air out of the lines.
Open the bleed valve and fill the hose with water.
Close the bleed valve when the hose is filled with water.
Place supplied rubber safety mat over hose.
Lower tank lid and make sure latch engages to ensure it is fully
closed.
Adjust the air pressure regulator such that the maximum test pressure can be achieved. If the air
pressure is set to a higher pressure than required to achieve the hose test pressure there is a danger that
the pump may overshoot the test pressure.
Follow screen prompts to set up and start actual tests.
When the test cycle is complete, disconnect the hose and drain the remaining water from the hos
