Safety Guidelines Standards and Directives The vessel and shut-off valve are “Pi” marked (π) and DOT approval. The set fully complies with European safety directives on Transportable Pressure Equipment (TPED) 2010/35/EU. This directive repeals and replaces the Directive 1999/36/CE, and allow all transportable pressure equipments being “Pi”...
Do not disassemble or modify this equipment : contact OMICRON Technologies (contact@omicron-technologies.com) in case of dysfunction. Never attempt to disassemble connectors under pressure. Never attempt to disassemble or partially connect the refill adapter to a gas cylinder.
Settings for operation Refilling the vessel 1) With shut-off valve closed, put pressure on the push-pieces simultaneously to liberate the vessel. Then gently slide the vessel out from its protective frame (do not force or bend the pressure regulator assembly). 2) Disconnect spray gun tubing (quick-coupling connector on pressure regulator outlet) 3) Connect refill device to a standard helium cylinder (refer to...

4) Connect the vessel to the refill station, by mean of the HP quick-coupling connector. 5) Gently open the helium cylinder shut-off valve. 6) Gently open the vessel shut-off valve. 7) Check for pressure rise on HP gauge (situated on the front side) Do not pressurise over 250 Bar / 3600 PSI ! 8) Once the refill is done, close the vessel shut-off valve first,...
9) Relieve the residual pressure in the refill station by pressing the purge button for a few seconds. 10) Disconnect HP quick-coupling connector from vessel. Slide the vessel back in its protective frame until it’s locked. 11) Disconnect refill device, store it until the next refill. 12) Your can be safely carried on your testing site.
Pressure outlet is read on the BP gauge situated on the front side (PSI/BAR graduation) 3) Secure this setting by tightening the locking nut. Setting spray flow rate 1) After setting the pressure regulator outlet (§ 3.2) : unlock spray flow rate setting by untightening locking nut on adjustable valve.
4) For a bigger flow rate (pressure regulator outlet set at 2 Bar /28 PSI), press the gun trigger and adjust the flow rate by opening/closing the valve. 5) Once you get the desired flow rate, lock the setting by tightening the locking nut. 6) Your is now ready for operation ! Maintenance...
In case of ageing signs appearance (see below), the assembly will be replaced on corrective maintenance. Scratches 4.2.1 In the contact of a tank with solid surfaces chafes, abrasions, scratches may appear on the vessel surface. Small chafing, scratches not causing visible damage of a ...
Small scratches, also long, but not causing visible damage to bigger quantity of fibers and not deeper than 0.5 mm Cuts bigger than 1 mm in depth and 25mm in length Impacts 4.2.3 Impacts can be caused by the fall of the vessel from any height or by the collision with other objects. The damages may have the form of cracks of the resin layer, delamination of the fibers, dents, damages of the composite layer.
