2.5. Air Requirements
WARNING: To prevent damage to the AGV-SPO, do not attach a water hose to an air
fitting or an air hose to a water fitting.
DANGER: High pressure air can cause severe injury.
Lock out the source and bleed off the pressure before you do service to the equip-
l
ment.
Wear eye protection.
l
An air supply is needed for AGV-SPO models equipped with the -AC air cooling option. A gas supply
pressure of 517 kPa to 586 kPa (75 psi to 85 psi) is required when using this feature. Gas must be
delivered through a polyurethane air hose with an outer diameter of 4 mm. Unless otherwise
specified, a gas flow rate of 20 SLPM (standard liters per minute) at 550 kPa (80 psi) should be
observed.
If nitrogen is used, it must be 99.99% pure and filtered to 0.25 microns. [Recommended]
l
If compressed air is used, it must be filtered to 0.25 microns, dry to 0º F dew point, and oil free.
l
The filtration requirement is necessary to prevent particles from damaging the optical surfaces of
the turning mirrors.
