Section 1 - Installation
Site Requirements
This instrument has been designed with operator safety as a primary consideration. The
following safety procedures are recommended to help ensure safety for both operator and
other laboratory personnel.
• Locate the instrument in a low traffic area.
• Post signs where the instrument is being operated to warn other personnel.
• A fire extinguisher, Type 8 BC, should be located within 50 feet/15 meters of the
instrument.
• Have the safety officer at your plant or laboratory review the safety aspects of the
instrument and installation and approve the operational and installation procedures.
Connecting Air and Water
This instrument requires compressed air at pressures between 75 and 125 psi/517 - 862 kPa.
Water is also required at pressures between 20 and 40 psi/135 - 275 kPa. All air, water, and
steam fittings have ¼-inch NPT threads.
• Connect air supply line to the fitting on the rear of the instrument marked AIR INLET.
• Connect the water supply line to the fitting on the rear of the instrument marked WATER
INLET.
• Connect water drain line to the fitting on the rear of the instrument marked COOLING
WATER OUTLET. Copper drain line is strongly recommended as the hot water may
melt rubber or plastic drain lines.
• Connect the cylinder drain line to the fitting on the rear of the instrument marked
CYLINDER WATER DRAIN. Only metal (copper or stainless steel) drain line should
be used as the steam and hot water released will melt rubber or plastic drain lines.
Caution: Connecting the COOLING WATER OUTLET and CYLINDER WATER
DRAIN lines is not recommended. If these two lines are connected, water
may back up into the cylinder if the plug is removed while the CYLINDER
DRAIN valve is open.
