ABBREVIATED OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
12.1
Once all shipping restraints have been removed from the compressor which is
mounted within the cabinet of the pure air generator, the unit is ready for operation.
12.2
Plug the power cord into the proper power source (120V 60 Hz or 220V 50Hz). DO
NOT ATTACH ANY EQUIPMENT THAT IS TO RECEIVE "ZERO" AIR TO THE
UNIT AT THIS TIME.
12.3
Depress the POWER switch. The lamp within the switch should light and the sound
of solenoids should be audible on a thirty-second time cycle. If there is a methane
reactor within the unit the METHANE HEAT lamp should indicate full power and the
pyrometer will begin to indicate temperature rise within five minutes.
12.4
Depress the PUMP switch. The lamp within the switch should light, the relay will
energize and power will be applied to the compressor. It will take about five
minutes for the unit to reach full pressure. During this time the rotameter ball
should be brought on scale with the OUTPUT FLOW ADJUST valve and the output
pressure set at the desired pressure (0-30 psig).
12.5
After the instrument has operated for about one to two hours it is permissible to
admit the output to the equipment requiring same. Copious amounts of water are
emitted during the initial "burn-in". Cycling of the METHANE HEAT lamp will
indicate that the methane reactor is at temperature.
12.6
Once connection to the using equipment has been made, open the OUTPUT
FLOW ADJUST valve completely counter clockwise and control flow at the using
equipment remembering that the rotameter is under pressure and will indicate less
flow than the actual flow. Do not exceed the capacity of this unit or the air purity will
not be as specified.
