The Connector Kit contains one supply connector
assembly and one input connector assembly.
Product Numbers
Restrictor Kit 195-066
Connector Kit for Multiple Input 195-067

Receiver-Controller
Required Tools
•Small, flat-blade screwdriver
NOTE: Normally, replacing restrictors or connectors
will not affect calibration.
Before troubleshooting (Table 1), ensure that:
1. The supply pressure at the unit is constant
(± 2 psi) 22 psi (152 kPa).
2. All transmitter inputs being used are between
3 and 15 psi (21 and 103 kPa).
3. Only one restrictor (internal or external)
supplies each transmitter.
4. The transmitter calibration is correct.

Installation
Transmitter (input) restrictor
replacement
1. Remove the cover from the receiver-controller.
2. Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver, remove
the two screws on the transmitter restrictor
assembly and lift off the cover. See Figure 1.
Figure 1. RC 195 Receiver-Controller.
3. Remove and replace the input restrictor
(Figure 2) and two gaskets, one above and one
below the restrictor.
Figure 2. Restrictors.
4. After replacing the restrictor cover, tighten the
screws loosely so the restrictor can move.
5. With the lever, move the restrictor several times
to align the gaskets.
6. Move the lever into the correct "In" or "Out"
position.
7. Alternately tighten the two screws. Draw
assembly up snugly but do not overtighten. Over
tightening can squeeze the gasket material into
the restrictor air passage and prevent air from
passing through it.
Pilot relay (supply) restrictor
replacement
1. Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver, remove
the two screws on the pilot relay restrictor
assembly and lift off the cover. See Figure 1.
2. Remove and replace the supply restrictor
(Figure 2) and gasket. Gasket is between the
restrictor and the cover.
3. Alternately tighten the two screws. Draw
assembly up snugly but do not overtighten.
Overtightening will squeeze the gasket material
into the restrictor air passage and prevent air
from passing through it.
Plug-in connector replacement
The transmitter plug-in connector has numbered
ports molded on it.
The supply and control pressure plug-in connector
has the letters "S" and "C" molded on it.
1. Remove the screw from the connector to be
replaced.
2. Remove the connector. Ensure that the
O-rings remain in their position behind the steel
plate.
3. Ensure the diaphragm does not extend into the
hole. If the diaphragm gets caught between the
connector post and the O-ring, the port will leak.
4. Moisten the connector barbs to help them slip
through the O-rings. Carefully press the new
connector into the plug-in opening.
5. Place the screw in the connector and tighten it
securely.
The installation is now complete.

Service
The RC 195 Receiver-Controller requires a clean,
oil-free, dry source of air. In-line filters are
recommended if there is any doubt about the quality
of the air supply, or if you are replacing restrictors
frequently.
