Re-loader-activator -
Even the best Re-loader-activator will eventually wear out. Here is a quick symptom-to-cause chart:
| Symptom | Likely Cause | Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Rapid chattering (5+ cycles/sec) | Torn sensing diaphragm | Replace the diaphragm kit (Part #RLA-D-KIT). | | No "re-load" function | Blocked pilot port (the small cross-drilled hole) | Remove the unit and soak in mineral spirits. Do not use wire. | | Actuator does not move, but air vents | Stripped activator plunger tip | The plunger is nylon. Replace with the steel upgrade kit for high-cycle apps. | | External air leakage from the T-handle | Worn quad-ring on the manual override | Replace quad-ring. Note: Do not overtighten the bonnet nut. | | False activation when system is off | Backpressure from a failed downstream check valve | Install a dedicated bleed orifice on the actuator side (0.040"). | Re-loader-activator
Most modern Re-loader versions use a KMS (Key Management Service) emulation technique: Even the best Re-loader-activator will eventually wear out
Older versions (Windows 7 era) used OEM loader methods, injecting a fake SLIC (Software Licensing Description Table) into memory at boot. Older versions (Windows 7 era) used OEM loader
How does it stack up against standard solutions?
