75-812-HE/AR for 230 VAC service. All versions may be generically referred to as 75-810 throughout this manual where appropriate. The GOW-MAC 75-810 series are point-of-use gas purifiers that remove impurities (H2O, O2, CO, CO2, H2, N2, CH4) from ultra-high purity (99.999%) argon or helium.
Safety Precautions SAFETY WARNINGS IMPORTANT IMPORTANT WARNING This purifier is intended for the purification of NOBLE* gas only. Under NO circumstances should it be used for the purification of hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, air, or reactive gases. Failure to comply can result in personal injury and/or mechanical damage to purifier and all warranties shall be void.

150 °C and all gas lines have been reconnected/repaired and certified. Failure to comply can result in personal injury or damage to the purifier. CAUTION The purity guarantees are void if installation is other than that approved by GOW-MAC Instrument Company CAUTION During heated operation, this unit MUST be pressurized with noble gas and isolated from any exposure to atmosphere or the getter bed will be destroyed.

Installation Locate the 75-810 on a table top with the rubber feet on the surface. In this position, the gas in and out connections are on top and the purifier cartridge is in the correct vertical orientation which reduces gas channeling through the getter material. Connect the 75-810 fitting marked GAS IN to the source of carrier helium or argon.
Operation Start Up The purifier should be purged with an inert gas (helium if -HE or argon if -AR model, minimum purity 99.99%) for at least 10 minutes before powering on. Apply continuous gas flow of 50 to 200 ccpm before and during initial activation. After the 10 minute purge period, switch on power to the 75-810.
Maintenance & Servicing Purifier Lifetime In order to maintain proper purification efficiency, do not exceed estimated lifetime of the purifier cartridge. The estimated lifetime (first impurity breakthrough) is 1 year at 400 °C operating temperature, 150 ccpm flowrate, and inlet gas purity of 99.999%.

The operator should place a VCR® cap on the inlet and outlet fittings for sufficient precaution before disposal. It is then acceptable to deposit in an approved landfill, in accordance with local, state and/or federal regulations. When disposed of in this manner, the waste poses no known environmental problems.
