Varsamhet Innebär att skador på utrustning kan inträffa om instruktionerna inte följs. Notera Innebär att användbar information ges. Försiktighetsåtgärder Varning – Transportrisk Transportera ej 6D med testaerosol kvar i behållaren. Töm 6D på all test aerosol innan transport. 1800223 E...
(0.5 or 1.5 nozzles). A user-controlled precision needle valve adjusts the nozzle pressure and aerosol output. Aerosol exits the rear of the 6D Generator through a 3 inch Sanitary Flange. This flange is secured using a female ¾ NPT thread and may be substituted with another hose adapter or fitting.
ATI Customer Service at (410) 363-9696 or email at Info@atitest.com. Caution Do not lift the 6D unit using the sanitary flange or cord wrap bracket. Damage to the unit may occur. Note ATI recommends that you save all packing materials for future use, such as shipping the unit back for annual service.
Initial Setup improved ergonomics aerosol output characteristics, please install the elbow fitting and sanitary flange hand-tight as shown. Use of the supplied elbow is strongly recommended (including when using an alternate outlet or hose adapter), and omission of the elbow may result in undesirable aerosol wetness.

Verify that aerosol tank output is not blocked Caution Do not lift the 6D unit using the sanitary flange or cord wrap bracket. Damage to the unit may occur. Caution Do not obstruct ventilation openings on the front, sides, or rear panels.
The number of active jets can also be adjusted before or during use. Note For the protection of the user and the equipment, the 6D is equipped with a overpressure relief valve. At excessively high pressure settings, the valve may vent excess flow to prevent pressure buildup, resulting in a loud, pulsing noise.

5. Remove the drain plug again and tilt the unit each direction side-to-side and also once front and back to free any trapped alcohol. 6. Replace drain plug and tighten. The 6D is ready for use with a different liquid aerosol reagent. 1800223 E...
Preventative Maintenance (perform after every use) In order to keep the unit operating satisfactorily, perform the following procedure after every use: Clean and wipe off the outside of the unit of any residual liquid aerosol reagent with a non- flammable cleaning agent. Check the unit for liquid aerosol reagent leakages.
CHAPTER 5 Maintaining and Servicing the Generator Replacing the Pressure Gauge A replacement, calibrated pressure gauge may be ordered from ATI as a kit (see Table 2). The part number is 9300250. Ordering a new kit will allow the unit to be out of service for only a few minutes while updating the gauge calibration.

APPENDIX C Aerosol Output Calculation Laskin Nozzle Jet Aerosol Output Calculation This model allows selection of either 2 or 6 Laskin nozzle jets using the “Jet Control” valve. The aerosol concentration produced is dependent upon the nozzle pressure, the chosen aerosol reagent and the volume of air used to dilute the raw aerosol produced. The equation below is intended for calculating the aerosol concentration when required and assumes a nozzle pressure of either 20 psi for DOP (DEHP) or 23 psi for PAO-4.
