What is "pressure
compensating technology" and why do I need it?
The JDS
line of regulators utilize pressure compensating technology to overcome
LPR pressure fluctuations that are the result of changes in upstream
pressures. As upstream pressures raise or drop, (such as when your tank
gets low) the set point of regular LPR's drift. The JDS LPR overcomes
this design issue by utilizing air pressure to offset the forces that
cause drift.
Another
benefit of the JDS LPR is a recharge rate that's faster than the stock
regulator. Under high rates of fire, some regulators can't keep up,
resulting in LPR pressures dropping off. This can cause shoot-down in
some brands of markers.
Is the JDS LPR a copy of AKA's SCM or
SCM2? Is it susceptible to pressure creep?
No.
Designed by Aaron K. Alexander (namesake and founder of AKA), the JDS LPR
features a design different from AKA's LPR. The JDS design is not
prone to creeping.
Is the JDS LPR a drop-in
accessory for my marker?
Yes.
The JDS LPR requires no modification of the marker for installation.
The JDS LPR simply screws into the front of the marker, in the same manner
as the stock LPR. Pressure is adjusted using a 5/32" allen wrench.
