Adjust air pressure Global S

Does anyone know how to adjust the air pressure to the machine for a global S Green.
I am getting a low air pressure warning this morning and it looks like the pressure is slightly low (5-10PSI).
Our compressor seems to be working fine and the dryer seems to be getting proper air flow and is purging air normally.
Also we had a power outage last night. That might be important info.

Solved!

Locate a knob on the right side towards the back of the X axis rail/beam. Hold the Z with your hand and turn that knob about a 1/4 turn or until you hear a 'click'. That knob adjusts the Z counterweight so try to adjust it back as best as you can after turning it.

This procedure was a common thing after long weekends or when the shop air would 'cut off' unexpectedly.

That knob adjusts the Z counterweight so try to adjust it back as best as you can after turning it. (create a small hash with a marker for alignment before you turn the knob)

It looks like you had one of those mornings where the first thing you had to do is figure out what's causing a CMM error. Never fun.

Thanks for sharing the solution you found and adding pictures. Nice!

Definitely one of those mornings.... Thankfully I am one of the only QC people that get here at 6 so by the time everyone else got settled in around 715 I had it figured out.
People get a little panicky when our larger CMM is down. I have spoiled them with 3 years of basically little to no issues so now when something comes up it always seems bigger than it is lol.

Man if i had seen this earlier i could have helped you lol. I go through this every Monday morning. They shut down all of the air lines in the building so for some reason when it fires back up on Monday i gotta do the lil knob twist to get the hiss going again.

It only took me like 40 minutes to find the right post with the info I needed. Not too bad!

I believe it is. On the original post that I got the info from, they were doing this on a Global Advantage.

I think so, BUT, that knob is somewhere else on the Advantage. I have a 15-30-10 Advantage, and there is NO exposed knob for counter balance pressure anywhere on the machine.
