(4) Turn ON the RUN/STOP switch of MP-300K to restart. Emergency off In case of an emergency, press the emergency off button on the front to disconnect the control power supply and stop all the operation of MP-300K. To restart, turn the emergency off button to the right. CAUTION An emergency shutdown might damage the equipment.
Connect the joint (coupler joint) of attached flexible hose to LN supply port located at the front of MP-300K. When connecting to the coupler joint, do so while pushing down the outer ring part of the MP-300K side. Dispense liquid nitrogen To manually dispense liquid nitrogen, insert the head end of flexible hose in liquid nitrogen dewar, and keep pressing the MANUAL START buttons for 3 seconds.
Note that disconnecting hoses right after dispensing liquid nitrogen may result in damaging the O-ring inside the coupler joint. Disconnect flexible hoses in the opposite way of connecting. Push down the outer ring of the MP-300K side joint and pull out the flexible hose to disconnect. ULVAC CRYOGENICS INCORPORATED...
10.1 Inspections before automatic transfer Check the following before starting automatic transfer. (1) Level indicator cable is connected properly between the MP-300K and the level sensor on the auto transfer destination. (2) LN transfer piping is properly connected between MP-300K and the dewar in auto transfer destination.
