Model VR6 Vacuum Regulator
Installation, Operation & Maintenance

General:

All Archer Instruments chlorination systems are carefully designed and tested
for years of safe, accurate field service. All Archer Instruments chlorination systems are
carefully tested prior to shipment. All Archer Instruments products are made of the finest
materials. To ensure best operation, read these instructions carefully and completely and
store them where all maintenance personnel will have access to them.

Safety:

When working with chlorine, always use caution and follow applicable safety procedures.
General safety considerations:
* Store chlorine separately from ammonia.
* When using chlorine, avoid locations that expose the cylinder and equipment to direct
sunlight.
* Do not apply heater or heat source directly to chlorine cylinders.
* 150lb (upright) cylinders: Always keep cylinders upright and ensure the steel valve cap is
in place when moving cylinders. Once cylinder is in place, a safety chain should be used to
secure the cylinder.
* Ton Containers: Use appropriate handling equipment when moving ton containers. When
readying ton container for use, ensure valves are aligned vertically. The top valve accesses
gaseous chlorine and the bottom valve accesses liquid chlorine. The bottom valve should
never be touched unless your system employs a chlorine heat exchanger (evaporator)
designed expressly for use with liquid chlorine. When drawing gas from ton containers an
appropriate ton container adapter and drip leg must be used (also available from Archer).
