Connecting the Air Supply
An external air supply is required to operate the grips. The air supply must
produce clean dry air. Different grip control options are available.
• The most basic configuration consists of connecting the two grips directly
to the air supply using the supplied fixtures and tubing. This requires the
grips to be controlled manually using the air valve knob on each grip (the
10 N grip requires remote, in line, air switches).
• Optional air switches allow each grip to be independently clamped and
released.
• The optional Advantage Pneumatic Grip Controller allows each grip to
be independently clamped and released using two configurable foot
switches.
