The Fairchild 85D Multi-Stage Biasing Relay is a precision control combining the sensitivity of a precision pressure regulator with psitive biasing capability. This compact, pilot-operated device offers unusually high output capacity with minimal air consumption, while providing excellent protection against supply or output pressure variations.

Features

• 2 Stage Pilot Operation allows precise control of set points.
• 14 SCFM flow capacity in a small size unit.
• Low air consumption preserves air and other costly gases.
• Compact size permits installation where space is limited.
• Available in 1/8”, 1/4” and 3/8” port sizes.

Operating Principles

The versatile Fairchild 85D is recommended for use in systems requiring precision pressure maintenance and instrument biasing, in dead end service and instrument panel supply applications.

The basic mathematical expression for the Model 85D is PO = PS + K where PO is output pressure, PS is signal pressure and K is the spring constant.
