Installation
1.
Fix the mounting nut (7) of the regulator on the thread of the CO
2
bottle (hand tight).
2.
Adjust the pressure regulator and secure the mounting nut (7) firmly. Take care that the neck
of the pressure regulator won’t be separated from the body since otherwise CO
2
will escape!
3.
Connect the CO
2
-tube to the corresponding fitting (4). Remove the nut (5) and put it on the
hose. The hose is then fixed on the fitting with nut.
4. Adjustment
1.
The needle valve (3) is only opened a bit for pre-adjustment.
2.
Open the valve at the CO
2
bottle (four full turns) and close the needle valve. Now, the bottle
pressure gauge shows 60 - 70 bar, the working pressure gauge approx. 1.5 bar.
3.
Open the needle valve slowly until the desired number of bubbles is reached in the bubble
counter.
Bubble counter:
The exact control of the flow rate is only possible if a bubble counter is used. We
recommend the bubble counter of Aqua Medic’s CO
2
program. Without bubble counter, adjustion
can only be controlled at the CO
2
reactor.
5. Safety tips
-
Never separate a stationary pressure regulator from a CO
2
bottle if it is under pressure. Close
the bottle valve, release pressure from the pressure regulator and unscrew the pressure
regulator.
-
Protect the CO
2
bottle from heating.
-
Always operate the CO
2
bottle standing upright and fix it well (to the wall).
-
Never dismantle the pressure regulator.
