10-90% Storage: -10°-+50°C 20-90% CAUTION: If the storage conditions are outside of the stated operating range, the Q50 Compressor must be acclimated to the operating environment for a minimum of 8 hours prior to use. Page 6 3100772 Rev E... -
Page 9: Life Expectancy Of Compressor
Life Expectancy of Compressor The average life expectancy will be 20,000 hours, based upon operating conditions and with maintenance being performed as outlined on page 26. Dimensions and Weight Dimensions: 20.5in(L)X19in(H)X9in(W) Weight: 44 lbs. High Altitude Considerations The specifications provided above are for sea level conditions. The density of air is lower at higher altitudes and has an impact on the flow capacity of the compressor. The following table provides guidance for operating at higher altitudes. - Page 10 FiO2 Maximum Precision Flow Rate (L/min) 1,000 2,000 3,000 4,000 5,000 6,000 7,000 8,000 Level 50% or Greater Page 8 3100772 Rev E...

Page 11: Working Principle And Construction
Working Principle and Construction Working Principle The air compressor starts after being plugged in and the power inlet switch toggled. The power inlet switch is located above the power inlet on the unit. Ambient room air is pulled in through the air intake filter on the unit, past the heat exchange coil and into the compressor. - Page 12 The Rear Panel (Fig. 2) contains: 1. Air Intake Filter 2.

4. Repeat for the lower pole mount. 5. Firmly tighten both pole mounts. Install High Altitude / High Flow Kit 1. Remove the manual draining water trap from the air inlet to the PF. Using a pair of needle nose pliers, push the retaining ring of the air fitting on the back of the Precision Flow unit in towards the Precision Flow. -
Page 19: Connecting The Air Hose
Connecting the Air Hose 1. Push the end of the air hose onto the DISS air fitting on the back of the Q50 Compressor until it reaches the threads. Rotate the collar on the air hose, clockwise, so that the threads engage with the DISS air fitting. Tighten by hand. -
Page 20: Operating Instructions
Operating Instructions Pre-operational Check Prior to starting the Q50 unit, the user should verify the following: Check the power supply Ensure that the power cord is installed into an outlet with the appropriate power requirements. 2. Check that the Precision Flow unit is powered off Disconnect the Precision Flow power. -
Page 21: Starting The Compressor
Running Although the compressor itself utilizes fans to cool the motor and compressor sleeves, the Q50 has been designed with a secondary fan to provide additional cooling to the compressor as well as reduce the moisture content and temperature of the air being provided to the Precision Flow unit. -
Page 22: Shutting Down The System
Due to the inherent design of the Q50 compressor, while the unit is running, any air not demanded by the Precision Flow unit is simply recirculated within the system. -
