Spectron Gas Control Systems GmbH Commissioning | 6 6 Commissioning 6.1 Preparations for commissioning Purge the armature prior to initial commissioning! It is imperative to adhere to the direction of the gas flow when doing this! You must not purge counter to the usual direction of flow (from the tapping point to the process gas source), as this can flush debris resulting from the installation work, for example, back into the armature.
