angel ir3

[Ginja]

will it work on 3000 pmi air.

In relation to this i was told angels need high preasure so bought 4500 bottle, but someone said its not the bottle that important its the preset, any help?

Hmm, I always thought that Angels were LOW pressure.

Anyhow, what bottle / regulator have you got ? The make, that is ?

There are two types of preset regulator, HP (About 850PSI) and LP (About 450PSI). Regulators like the PMI or Crossfire ones are usually colour coded, red being HP and blue being LP.

This pressure is the output pressure, I.E. The pressure going into the marker.

Hope that helps.

Edit: Just noticed that you said you have a PMI bottle.

Is it this one: http://www.planeteclipse.com/site/prodView.asp?prodID=1672 ? I'm pretty sure they are HP only.

You would need to buy a LP regulator, empty your air bottle, unscrew the old regulator and screw the new one on to the specific torque setting. (Hard if you don't know what your doing)
Or you could buy a conversion kit (I think the standard PMI conversion kits for the coloured regulators will work on them regulators) and install that, again draining the bottle before working on it.
Finally you could just buy a LP bottle.

This is all assuming that I can remember correctly that Angels need a LP bottle.

Hope that helps.

The ir3 is the last HP angel i belive the Speed 04 and after are all LP

 

[yngndrw]

I stand corrected.

In that case, if the bottle which you have is like the one in the link I just gave you, it will be fine.

Good luck.

sweet, yeah its that one, and the crossfire system i have for angel A4 is blue so by sheer luck have suitable for both

The A4 requires a LP input and the Ir3 needs HP input, so unfortunately the preset wont work on both systems.


Personally I have never had a problem running speed/A4s on HP (in fact I have found them to be more accurate during rapid fire when the input to the minireg is higher).

But WDP recommend LP on the A4 and HP on the Ir3. So if your not confident with your settings thats probably what you should use.

Hard - Bloody impossible I think without some expensive and complex equipment!

can people confirm, pmi 3000 (one in link) will work on ir3.

Knew i should have just asked john at the start

I assume so, although the link doesnt specify if the reg is HP or LP.

At a guess I'd say it was HP, which is what you need. If in doubt, give planet a ring and just double check that it's an HP output reg.

If it has been bought new from planet it will be HP
