Description:
With this pressure reducer, JBL has succeeded in creating an inexpensive yet high-quality pressure regulating fitting for refillable as well as for disposable CO2 pressurised gas cylinders. The two pressure gauges have been deliberately omitted in order to keep the cost of the pressure regulator low.
A conversion to disposable or refillable CO₂ pressurised gas cylinders is also possible here by purchasing or removing the JBL PROFLORA CO2
ADAPT U – M thread adapter.
All pressure regulators come equipped with a smooth-running and high precision adjustment screw (needle valve) that allows you to set the CO2  quantity you need conveniently and precisely.

Description:
State-of-the-art pressure regulator that can be used for both refillable and disposable CO2 pressurised gas cylinders:
The JBL PROFLORA CO2 REGULATOR AVANCED pressure regulator can be converted to disposable CO2 pressurised gas cylinders by simply unscrewing the JBL PROFLORA CO2 ADAPT U – M thread adapter (part a.)
The cylinder connection nut of the pressure regulator is designed as a knurled nut that only needs light tightening by hand, without the use of tools.
The use of tools can lead to damage.
The pressure in the CO2 pressurised gas cylinder and the working pressure can conveniently be read on two separate pressure gauges. The working pressure can be adjusted from 1.2 to 2 bar. A safety valve ensures safety in case of unintentional excess pressure caused by releasing the CO2 into the environment.

Pre-assembled and silent 12 V solenoid valve (part i.) of the highest quality. Power consumption of only 0.8 W, optimised for use with CO2 fertilisersystems, saves electricity. An electronic 12 V power supply unit enables use on all common mains voltages worldwide.

Installation

SYSTEM U:
Remove the connection adapter (JBL PROFLORA CO2 ADAPT U – M) using a 6 mm Allen key. Now quickly screw the rear internal thread of the pressure regulator fitting onto the external thread of the JBL PROFLORA CO2 CYLINDER 500 U or JBL PROFLORA CO2 CYLINDER 1200 U disposable CO2 pressurised gas cylinder. After a few turns a brief hissing noise will beheard. Continue to turn briskly until resistance is felt. Then turn about half a turn more until the pressure regulator is hand-tight.

SYSTEM M:
Screw the rear connection nut (JBL PROFLORA CO2 ADAPT U – M) of the pressure regulator onto the external thread of the cylinder valve on the
JBL PROFLORA CO2 CYLINDER 500 M or JBL PROFLORA CO2 CYLINDER 2000 M refillable CO2 pressurised gas cylinder. The connecting nut is a knurled nut intended for use WITHOUT tools! Only tighten it „hand-tight“ without tools. Use of tools can lead to damage. Close the needle valve clockwise if not already closed.
Never operate a vertical or inverted CO2 pressurised gas cylinders!!! This can destroy the pressure regulator!
JBL PROFLORA CO2 REGULATOR PROFESSIONAL: The left pressure gauge now shows the cylinder pressure of about 60 bar and the right pressure gauge the working pressure of about 1.5 bar

Note on the pressure displayed on the pressure regulator

In the CO2 pressurised gas cylinders, the CO2 gas is under high pressure. This pressure depends on the ambient temperature. At room temperature (approx. 20 °C), the left pressure gauge of the pressure regulator shows a pressure of about 50 bar. This increases as the room temperature rises.
Thus at 30 °C, the pressure gauge shows about 70 bar. The pressure in the CO2 pressurised gas cylinder is not a measure of how full the cylinder is.
It will remain constant at the temperature-related value until shortly before the cylinder is empty. How much CO2 is in a CO2 pressurised gas cylinder can only be determined by weighing it. The empty weight (tare) is stamped on  the cylinder. The current weight minus the tare gives the available amount of CO2.
The pressure in the CO2 pressurised gas cylinder is regulated down to an easy to-handle so-called „working pressure“ by the pressure regulator. The right- hand pressure gauge of the pressure regulator shows this working pressure. It is preset to approx. 1.5 bar in the J BL PROFLORA CO2 REGULATOR BASIC pressure regulators. This pressure is ideal for CO2 fertilisation of aquariums. When changing the working pressure, JBL PROFLORA CO2 REGULATOR PROFESSIONAL, it is important that a decrease in CO2 takes place, i.e. the adjustment screw must not be closed, otherwise the new working pressure cannot regulate itself.

Changing cylinders

If the cylinder pressure on the left-hand pressure gauge falls below 30 bar, the refillable CO2 pressurised gas cylinder needs to be refilled within the next 2 – 3 days. The disposable CO2 pressurised gas cylinder may only be changed when it no longer contains CO2. This is when both pressure gauges show 0 bar or no more CO2 bubbles rise in the aquarium.
Disposable CO2 pressurised gas cylinder:
Make sure that the disposable CO2 pressurised gas cylinder is completely empty. There should be no CO2 bubbles rising in the reactor or diffuser.
Disconnect the CO2 hose from the pressure regulator fitting and turn the pressure regulator counterclockwise off the Cylinder. Dispose of the empty cylinder according to your local regulations. Connect a new cylinder as described in chap. 3.
Refillable CO2 pressurised gas cylinder:
Close the cylinder valve and disconnect the CO2 hose from the pressure regulator. Open the adjusting screw and release any pressure still present in the pressure regulator until both pressure gauges indicate 0 bar. Loosen the connecting nut of the pressure regulator from the cylinder valve. Hand over the reusable CO2 pressurised gas cylinder for refilling.
If there is no filled reusable CO2 pressurised gas cylinder available, you can also connect a disposable cylinder. Use the enclosed Allen key (size 6) to remove the cylinder connection nut from the pressure regulator. The thread that comes free will fit the disposable CO2 pressurised gas cylinder.
Connect the filled reusable CO2 pressurised gas cylinder or the disposable CO2 pressurised gas cylinder as described in chapter 3.
