INTRODUCTION
The Amico Economy Medical Gas Manifold incorporates the basic necessities for the distribution and
monitoring of medical gases. The manifold has been designed to provide user flexibility and reliability.
This manual will enable the customer to install, use and maintain the manifold properly.
The total amount of medical gas contained in the left or right banks is displayed on the analog gauges
on either side of the manifold. These gauges are provided to show the cylinder bank pressure in use
and the cylinder bank pressure in reserve at all times.
When the gas cylinder pressure depletes on the “In Use” (primary) side below the set point of the
pressure switch, a signal will go to the master alarm (or remote buzzer) informing the hospital
personnel that the “In Use cylinder bank pressure is low and the cylinders need replacement. At this
point someone has to silence the alarm (or buzzer) and manually switch the “In Use” side to
“Reserve” and the “Reserve” side to “In Use”. To do this, simply turn the preset, clearly labelled
handles on the operating (lower) regulators. Then proceed to change the cylinders. Changing the
settings of the operating regulators will also reset the pressure switch and cancel the alarm condition.
*NOTE: Always change the regulator settings BEFORE changing the empty cylinders.

Preset operating regulators for easy switch over
Single or Dual line regulators
