Figure 2.1 Filter Installation

If non-rigid piping leads from the air source
Clamp the filter to a ring stand, or use the supplied mounting brackets (see Figure 2-1) to mount
the filter to the wall. Attach the brackets to the assembled filter with the mounting screws, then
attach the brackets to the wall. The air flow arrow must point toward the ultracentrifuge. Add
hose clamps to the plain high-pressure hose. Clamp one end of the hose to the barb fitting of
the filter inlet and one end to the air source.
If rigid piping (standard 1/4-in. pipe thread) leads from the air source
standing. Remove the barb fitting from the filter inlet to the air source. The air flow arrow must
point toward the ultracentrifuge.

Connect the quick-disconnect hose to the fitting at the rear of the instrument. Place a beaker
or other container under the filter to collect water and oil.
If the air source does not supply sufficient air pressure to close the filter's automatic drain valve you
will hear air escaping from the filter. Routine operation at 30 psig (207 kPa) on the instrument
gauge requires 290 kPa (42 psig) air pressure supplied to the filter.
PRESSURE
Time-Delay Setting Check
The time-delay knob (on the ultracentrifuge bottom plate) is factory set for a 2 minute delay period.
Make sure that the knob is still set at about 120 seconds (or 3.5 on older instruments).
