Air and Hydrogen have solid control knobs. These are on/off
valves and are not suitable for making fine adjustments. Use the
internal pressure regulators for control.
Aux Gas has a screwdriver adjustment inside the on/off knob.
Use the knob as an on/off control, the pressure regulator as a
course flow adjustment and the screwdriver adjustment for fine
control.
The TCD module has fine adjustments for Reference and Aux Gas.
The ECD module has none.
After setting the detector gases, press and hold the Ignitor
button on the flow module. You should hear a soft "poof" as the
