Spectron Gas Control Systems GmbH 1 Introduction This user manual is the original user manual for the Pressure control panel BM55-2A from Spectron Gas Control Systems GmbH, referred to as Spectron. The user manual is intended to facilitate correct and safe operation for the operating firm, and to warn against misuse.
2 Description 2.1 Intended use The intended use of the Pressure control panel BM55-2A is the expansion of a gas from a gas source and the distribution of the gas with adjustable outlet pressure. Pressure control panels of type BM55-2A are suitable for flammable gases, non-flammable gases, non-corrosive gases and for oxygen up to gas quality 6.0.
2 | Description Spectron Gas Control Systems GmbH Gas type GAS TYPE 2.4 Environment 2.4.1 Temperatures Normal temperatures expected in a production area are assumed when operating the system: -20°C to +60°C. The air humidity must be below 60 % rel. humidity to prevent condensation. The operating tem- perature depends on the gas used.

Spectron Gas Control Systems GmbH Installation | 5 4. Close valve PGI. 5. Disassemble the leak test device and connect the exhaust gas line to valve HPV. 6. Relieve the pressure regulator. 7. Close all valves. The system should now be filled with inert gas (approx. 1 bar overpressure) up to the consumer.
Connect the pig tails. Proceed as described in the instructions for use for the respective pig tail. The compression fitting of Spectron pig tails is pre-installed at the factory. Insert the end of the pipe with the union nut into the thread fitting of the process gas valve as far as it will go.
Spectron Gas Control Systems GmbH Commissioning | 6 6.2.2 Flushing in the process gas to the process Flushing in the entire line network to the consumer must be implemented via a waste gas valve on the process. To do this, refer to the system documentation for the consumer. This procedure does not apply to fluorine or fluorine mixtures.
"Decommissioning and recommissioning [} 30]" chapter. Valve HPI is controlled via the operating firm's controller (optional for SP3, SP4 and BM/ BE). This is not included in the delivery scope of Spectron and is therefore not covered in this user manual.
