Page 11: Installation
5.0 Installation Changing Flowmeter Scales The inert gas boxes are supplied with a set of interchangeable gas scale inserts to allow the flowmeter modules to be used with a range of gases. Note: The customer is responsible for selecting and installing the correct scale for the intended gas. - Page 12 Carefully remove the glass case as shown. Select the correct gas scale insert for the flowmeter module and fold it around the glass tube, as shown. Insert the scale into the flowmeter, then refit the glass case to hold it in position.
-
Page 13: Connecting Flowmeter Modules
Secure the glass case in place by twisting the metal tabs at either end of the flowmeter by 90°, returning them to their original positions. Connecting Flowmeter Modules When using more than one gas box, it is recommended that the boxes are secured together to reduce the risk of any interconnecting gas pipes being pulled loose. - Page 14 Insert the three spacers and screws provided into the threads in the outer casing. Push the two flowmeter mod- ules together until the screws on the side of one module locate into the keyhole slots on the other module. Remove the screw securing the back panel of the flowmeter module on the left (when viewed from the rear).
-
Page 15: Gas Connections
Remove the back panel. Tighten the three hexhead screws entering through the key- hole slots to secure the two flow- meter modules together, taking care not to damage any internal tubes or fittings. Replace the back panel. Gas Connections 5.3.1 Gas Inlet The gas inlet comprises a 6mm outside diameter fitting, into which an appro- priately sized hose can be pushed. -

If not already connected, screw the T-fitting, and the connected assembly, onto the gas outlet at the rear of the gas box, carefully tightening it with an appropriate sized spanner. -
Page 17: Connecting Multiple Gas Boxes
5.3.3 Connecting Multiple Gas Boxes Up to 3 gas boxes can be connected together in order to supply a mixture of gases into the vessel. Additional boxes will be supplied with a Y-fitting (two inlets on top) to accommodate interconnecting pipes between the boxes. Fully insert the interconnecting pipes into the top of the Y and T-fit- tings as shown in the image below. - Page 18 Push the solenoid connector socket onto the terminals on the back of the gas box, and secure it in place by tight- ening the screw on the rear of the socket. Push the relay connector at the other end of the cable into the cor- responding relay port on the back of the product control box.

Page 19: Basic Operation
6.0 Basic Operation Before introducing the gas supply through the gas box ensure the gas control valve on the front of the gas box is turned off; the gas control valve should be in the horizontal position. Note: The gas pressure is controlled at the gas source not by the gas box. -
Page 20: Gases And Flow Rates
When the gas is flowing, turn the adjustment knob on the flowmeter to set the desired gas flow rate. Note: If using the Advanced gas box, the gas will only flow when the solenoid valve is activated. Check that the correct gas flow rates are set. The reading should be taken from the top of the float so that the flat edge is level with the increments on the gas scale. - Page 21 98% Argon (Ar) / 2% Hydrogen (H 1 - 9 Carbon Dioxide (CO 1 - 8.5 Helium (H 2 - 20...
