German term or phrase: auf Regelung nehmen
Druckregler und Stände auf Regelung nehmen.

This is one step in instructions for starting a cryogenics air separator and is included in the gaseous oxygen section. I'm having trouble with understanding the latter part "auf Regelung nehmen".

Many thanks in advance!

Explanation:
This sounds like the pressure regulator and stands (whatever "stands" there are) are capable of automatically maintaining certain pressure conditions through regulator systems, and this line in the instructions tells the operator to turn that capability on.
