Pressure Gauges
The following pressure gauges provide an indication of water inlet and dis-
charge pressures along with the compressed air discharge pressure.
Master Duplex Pressure Gauge
This gauge indicates the discharge pressure of water and compressed
air. The BLACK needle indicates the water pressure and the RED needle
indicates the air pressure.
During CAFS operation both the water pressure and air pressure are the
same when discharges are closed (no flow), normally 100 PSI (7 BAR).
