Is Your Suction Regulator Functioning Properly?

How to Tell If A Suction Regulator is Functioning Properly

Check out this quick and easy guide to troubleshoot your suction regulator. 

• First, check if the device has suction. If the gauge is not reading any suction at all, then it needs service.
• Then, check to see how the suction regulator gauge behaves when turning the pressure regulator knob. If it isn’t smooth and the gauge is all over the place, it needs service.
• Next, check the intermittent timing and pressure to see if it is working and in proper calibration. Test this by turning it off for 6-8 seconds, and then back on for 15-18 seconds. On most devices, the suction should be calibrated to 120mmHg. If the intermittent timing isn’t calibrated correctly or not working at all, it would need service. If it isn’t 120mmHg when the intermittent timing comes on, it will need service as well.
• Finally, you have the obvious signs. If the device has any damage to the case, gauge, etc., it needs service.
