I’ve gotten a Talon Tunes reg tester for the Airgun Technology regs. I have many reg testers and this one is as good and even better than any I’ve used.
It delivered quick and was packed well. It comes in a handy tote bag with a draw string. A quality liquid filled Carbo gauge is standard equipment. The machining is great and the anodizing is sugar on top. Quality hardware and o-rings are used throughout. Included is an adapter that enables the user to test the smaller Uragan regulators. Also included is a 4mm bolt to pull the reg from the tester.
First up is the Vulcan reg. Use a quality silicone grease on all o-rings. Use a 3/32 allen to open the bleed fitting. This allows the air to vent as you insert the reg.
The reg is inserted with adjuster facing you
At this point, screw the end cap on until fully seated but just hand tight. Close the 3/32 bleed screw but do not over tighten. Just feel some resistance and stop, not even snug. Attach your reg tester to your pressure source and fill slowly to no more than 300 bar. Via the 3/32 bleed screw, dump a bit of pressure while watching the tester’s gauge and close quickly. Do this a few times. This allows the pressure to settle to the reg’s set point. You now can see where the reg is set and you can test the reg by cycling the pressure with the 3/32 bleed screw. Don’t allow the source pressure to drop too low. You can see below that my Vulcan reg is set to 150 bar.
It’s time to release your source pressure and open the reg’s 3/32 bleed screw to depressurize the tester. Once all gauges confirm zero pressure, remove the hand tightened end to extract the reg. Using the supplies 4mm bolt, thread it into the reg by hand. I found that using my small crescent wrench to aid in pulling the reg worked great as you slide the wrench up to grab the bolt’s head.
Let’s test a Uragan reg. Again use some silicone grease and insert the Uragan reg into the adapter on the opposite side of the adjuster.
Check that your 3/32 bleed screw is open. Insert the reg into the reg tester with the adjuster facing you.
Screw on the end cap, again, fully seated and hand tight. Follow the same direction for pressuring up and testing this Uragan reg as explained above for the Vulcan reg. Confirm that all has been depressurized before extracting the reg.
Remove the adapter from the Uragan reg when done.
This is a quality reg tester, no doubt. Thumbs up!
A few words on adjusting the reg’s set point; It will behoove you to make a few reference marks on the body of the reg and one on the adjuster. There is a jam nut holding the adjuster position. Loosen this nut to adjust. Counter clockwise increased pressure and clockwise decreases pressure.
Think of the adjuster’s orientation as a minute hand of a clock. In general, moving the adjuster 5 minutes will adjust the pressure by 10 bar. Snug the jam nut before testing reg.
This sums up my review of this fine product. I hope I’ve helped someone. Later on….
