Regulator help needed please.

I am new to dispensing from kegs so can someone please tell me what regulators I have here and how it works? I have searched for answers but can't seem to find anything.

They are secondary regulators and the gauge on the left looks line an inline pressure gauge. But I'm no expert so don't take my word for it

Edit: if I'm looking at it correctly does the pub gas connect on to them? If it does then it must be a primary reg

Both of the regs look identical to my corny secondary regs (except the one connected directly to the cylinder doesn't have a gauge).

If they are both secondary regs, I'm not sure how safe it is to have them connected directly to a gas bottle.

The redditch one looks like a two stage, should have some info on the label that you can see regarding pressures etc.
AFAIK, attaches to primary and also acts as a secondary reducer, so gauge shows output pressure. Not sure about the other dial...

Cheers for the replies. Cpt.Fredrickson you must know me and my blindness for reading labels or instructions before I do anything, the 1st Redditch has Beer CO2 Primary printed on it along with Outlet 0 - 35 PSI RV set 45 PSI SWP 2000PSI
The 2nd has a sticker which says cobra. The gauge on the secondary always shows just over 25psi no matter what I do to the screws on either regulator.
The inline gauge is always a quarter of the way in to the red.
I have not connected to a beer keg yet (I don't have one!) but when I attach the cleaning fluid bottle it pushed water through easily and at a nice pouring rate.

Nice. I've actually sold a fair few of the redditch ones so pretty familiar with them now. I expect when you hooked them up to the keg and played with the adjustment screw things will change. If not, would probably be worth sending off for a service. Can't recommend one, the guys I used on eBay were s***e, so best look elsewhere.
