filling through angel lcd reg( digital one i mean)

[phillips]

Ok my step Dad has a hand pump designed to fill pellet guns up to 3500psi, no wI have fitted it with a fill niple adapter so it can fill air tanks for paintball markers, one question is the blue angel air reg that my bottle is attached to isnt like one I have used before.
Could you tell me exaclty what I need to do to fill it as I dont understand the increase and decrease screw on the front of the regulator.
I tried filling it without touching the screw and it shot about 30 times then pooped out on me PLEASE HELP ME!!!.
Any help would be apreciated.

That sounds a bit dangerous. Don't mess with air unless you know what you're doing .
You modded a fill nipple adapter onto it?
I'd only ever use a dive tank to fill from, or a fill station like HPAC etc etc.

The screw changes the input pressure does it not?
Try pressing the button, and cycling through, as you adjust the screw; you want the screen on which the figure is moving. If it's pooping out the pressure might be too low; try turning it up to the input pressure your marker is meant to take (what marker you using?).

Angel 04 oh and no sorry I didnt really explain fully, I used an old remote hose and took the fitting off to fit the gun pump to fit my fill nipple. It is quite safe.( I hope ) Oh and thats the thing the screen doesnt react sometimes but its not broken normally the shop would do this but seeing as I have the ability to fill my own tanks at will I thought I should learn to do it right.

Ok time to step in i think. Hand pumps are fairly common with airgunners, but you're trying to fill it through the output of the angel air regulator, this won't work. You need to get a high pressure snap connector, and have it fitted professionally to the hand pump. You then fill the angel air/bottle through the fill nipple, that points downward underneath the reg as you look at the display.

Before you even try this, one big question - how long would it take to fill an air bottle to 3500 psi with a hand pump !

 

[Tom Allen]

F*'*'ng ages...

 

[phillips]

It is called a snap connector though or at least that is what I was lead to believe and it just screws directly into the thread of the pump with no leaks. What exaclty would I watch for on the reg? And ho wdo I adjust? I had pressure of 2500 in it easily after a lot of pumping with no leaks, It just didnt seem to hold it.

 

[phillips]

Oh and it took around 4 minutes since this is one of those largre stand up hand pumps as in a plundger type pump.

On the angel air, the first press of the button gives you the tank pressure,

The second press of the button gives you the shots left, but ignore this as you'll need to set this feature up first.

The third press of the button, gives you the output pressure of the reg, which is adjustable by the screw on the front. Screw it in and the pressure rises, and out to decrease.

If you turn the little end screw out until it's tip is level with the body, then the reg will be set to zero pressure (shut). Use your pump to fill it and watch the pressure rise on the lcd display (tank psi). When you have the required tank pressure connect the reg to your marker and slowly turn the screw in until it starts to give resistance. The reg will now be increasing in pressure, so have a look at the output psi on the lcd (third press of the button). When you get to 500psi try the marker.

If the tank psi goes down drastically on it's own, you have a leak.

Thancks Tom this is a big help and just cleared up some things that I was unsure about cheers.
