AIR CONNECTIONS
NOTE: For quick response, Nexen recommends a quick exhaust valve and air lines ideally one foot or less between the
Control Valve and the FMCE. Align the air inlet port to a down position to allow condensation to drain out of the
air chamber. The Metric FMCE has an ISO 7/1-Rc 1/8 port.
LUBRICATION
NOTE: Pneumatically actuated devices require clean, pressure regulated, and lubricated air for maximum performance
and long life. The most effective and economical way to lubricate the Metric FMCE is with an Air Line Lubricator,
which injects oil into the pressurized air, forcing an oil mist into the air chamber.
Locate the lubricator above and within ten feet of the Metric FMCE, and use a low viscosity oil such as SAE-10.
Synthetic lubricants are not recommended.
LUBRICATOR DRIP RATE SETTINGS
NOTE: These settings are for Nexen supplied lubricators. If you are not using a Nexen lubricator, calibration must
replicate the following procedure.
1. Close and disconnect the air line from the unit.
2. Turn the Lubricator Adjustment Knob counter-
clockwise three complete turns.
3. Open the air line.
4. Close the air line to the unit when a drop of oil forms
in the Lubricator Sight Gage.
5. Connect the air line to the unit.
6. Turn the Lubricator Adjustment Knob clockwise until
closed.
7. Turn the Lubricator Adjustment Knob counter-
clockwise one-third turn.
8. Open the air line to the unit.
