HARDWARE SETUP To set up the Individual Cigarette Puff Generator, first place the unit on a secure stable bench, stand, cart, or rack and away from any flammable or heat-sensitive materials. Referring to Figure 1, the menu pad and display can be seen on the front of the unit to the right.
Page 5: Physical Hardware
Due to the wide assortment of possibilities, this document does not include details on how to connect the individual Cigarette Puff Generator to any specific apparatus. PHYSICAL HARDWARE Figure 1 The left side of the unit can be seen in Figure 2. This side of the unit has the following: ▪...
Page 6: Loading Cigarettes
The Individual Cigarette Puff Generator is now set up and ready to use. LOADING CIGARETTES The Individual Cigarette Puff Generator utilizes an adapter on the front of the unit where a variety of holders can be easily inserted that interface directly with smoking devices, such as Kentucky 3R4F Reference cigarettes (or equivalent diameter), the NJOY King (or equivalent diameter), or the JUUL electronic cigarette.
Page 7: Basic Holder - Njoy King Ecigarette
Figure 4 A duckbill valve should be connected to the back of this holder before connecting it to the Individual Cigarette Puff Generator (Fig 5). The purpose of this piece is to serve as a one-way passthrough that prevents backflow from the lung pushing indirect smoke out of the electronic cigarette’s tip.
Page 8: Juul Ecigarette Holder
Once the duckbill valve is firmly seated on the back of the holder, it can be plugged in to the adapter on the front of the Individual Cigarette puff Generator and an eCig can be directly plugged into the central orifice. (Fig 6)

Figure 7 The JUUL eCigarette can then be inserted into the holder. (Fig 8) Figure 8 REGULAR CIGARETTE HOLDER This holder is designed to accept the shape of a Kentucky 3R4F Reference Cigarette, though any cigarette with the same diameter will work as well (Fig 9). This holder is simply inserted into the basic holder shown above (Fig 4). P a g e 014010-001 Rev 01 ©2019 Data Sciences International.

Page 11 Note: In order to light a regular cigarette, the user will need to wait for the unit to start puffing and time the moment of lighting with the Draw (Inhalation) part of the cycle. This occurs after a distinct audible pause in the sounds of the unit;...
Page 12: Operation
OPERATION PERIOD The Period is the length of the draw part of the cycle in seconds. The cycle is split 2/3 draw (inhalation), 1/3 return (exhalation). The Period can be set from 1 to 3 seconds in 0.5 second increments. (Fig 12) Example: A Period setting of 2.0 will draw on the cigarette for 2.0 seconds and return over 1.0 seconds.
Page 13: Recommended Ranges
Figure 14 Use the Up/Down arrows to choose the desired setting and press OK. RECOMMENDED RANGES While each of the settings above can be set as described, some combinations are not recommended. If an improper combination has been selected the following error screen will be displayed. (Fig 15) Figure 15 Press OK and adjust one or more settings to build a recommended combination.
Page 14: Cigarette Time
SMOKE PUMP This function is not usable on the Individual Cigarette Puff Generator. Do not enable the Peristaltic Pump option or else the internal lung and actuator mechanisms of the unit will be deactivated. WARNING: If the Peristaltic pump option is enabled, the unit will not work.
Page 15: Service Mode
To prevent this liquid tar from slowly turning into a solid sludge that can impair the Individual Cigarette Puff Generator’s performance, the liquid tar must be removed on a daily basis from the two direct smoke cartridges (described below). The cleaning process is quick and easy, and if you do it every single day, the process becomes part of your shutdown and start-up routine and takes just minutes to complete.
Page 16: Ash Trays
Thereafter, the required routine maintenance depends on either 1) the number of cigarettes the generator has smoked, or 2) the time that has elapsed since a particular maintenance task was last performed. A schedule of required maintenance tasks for the generator is shown in Figure 19 below. Note: The below recommendations are based on smoking regular tobacco cigarettes.
Page 17: Brushing Out The Cartridges And Greasing The O-Rings
The cartridges should be cleaned at the end of every day that any number of cigarettes have been smoked. The purpose of this daily cleaning is to prevent liquid tar from accumulating and drying out over time, creating a sludge that will negatively affect the generator’s performance.
Page 18 Every week, or after 200 cigarettes have been smoked, the internal surface of the direct smoke cartridges should be brushed out to prevent tar build-up, and all the O-rings should be greased. A special bore brush and necessary grease have been provided in the generator’s maintenance kit. (Fig 21 & 22) 1.
Page 19 Figure 23 8. Using a cotton swab, rub a small amount of grease onto the internal O-rings inside the left and right cartridge. Note that there are two internal O-rings in each cartridge and both should be lightly lubricated. (Fig 24) Figure 24 9.
Page 20: Inspecting All Cartidge O-Rings
INSPECTING ALL CARTIDGE O-RINGS Every two weeks, or after 400 cigarettes have been smoked, the internal and external O-rings on the two direct smoke cartridges must be inspected for the following defects: • Cracking, distortion, or other obvious visual flaws •...

BRUSHING THE INSIDE OF THE TRANSVERSE LUNG PIPE Every month or after 800 cigarettes have been smoked, brush out the inside of the transverse lung pipe to remove any accumulated tar. The Individual Cigarette Puff Generator must be powered down before you attempt to access 21 |...
Page 22 3) Power down the generator (by turning its main power switch to OFF) and remove the power cord from the power socket (for added safety). NOTE: You must power down the Individual Cigarette Puff Generator before accessing or cleaning the transverse lung pipe.
Page 23 5) Grasp the attachment plate firmly and gently pull it out of the Individual Cigarette Puff Generator housing to a distance of no more than half-an-inch (shown in Figure 29 below). • Pull slowly and firmly. Do not tug on the attachment plate; if you do, you risk damaging the wiring.
Page 24: Parts List
Install and tighten the five hex nuts to secure the attachment plate to the generator. PARTS LIST The table below (Fig 32) lists the spare parts you may need to keep your Individual Cigarette Puff Generator running properly. We suggest you keep all these parts in stock, so none of your critical experiments are compromised for lack of a needed part.
Page 25 2) Press the OK button. This moves the lung’s actuators into a safe position for removing the lung. 3) Power down the Individual Cigarette Puff Generator (by turning its main power switch to OFF) and remove the power cord from the power socket.
Page 26 5) Disconnect the blue tube that connects from the cigarette adapter to the Inhalation actuator. (Fig 35) Figure 35 26 | P a g e 014010-001 Rev 01 ©2019 Data Sciences International.
Page 27 6) Disconnect the connections for the Lung and the Inhalation and Exhalation actuators from the motherboard. (Fig 36) Figure 36 27 | P a g e 014010-001 Rev 01 ©2019 Data Sciences International.
Page 28 10) Contact Technical Support to assist with setting the new Min/Max Values of the new lung actuators. NOTE: This will require a computer with internet access and the ability for Technical Support to remotely access that computer, as well as a USB cable connected to the Individual Cigarette Puff Generator. 28 |...
