Precautions
Service Procedures
Routine Maintenance
Daily:
• Visually inspect manifold for normal
operation. Record front panel indicator
status (e.g. left bank "IN USE", right bank
"READY").
• Record left and right bank pressure gauge
readings.
• Record line pressure gauge reading.
• Record reserve header cylinder contents
and output pressure gauge readings
At container/cylinder replacement:
• Visually inspect each pigtail for
cleanliness, and damage. Do not use and
immediately replace dirty or damaged
pigtails.
• Check for leaks at pigtail connection using
oxygen compatible leak detector solution.
Annually:
• Verify manifold operation using
Performance Verification procedure.
Every 3-5 years:
•
Replace pigtails.
WARNING:
• Tampering with gas-specific connections shall
be prohibited. Do not alter, remove or modify
gas-specific connections.
• Keep all manifold parts, tools, and work
surfaces free of oil, grease, and dirt. These
and other flammable materials may ignite
when exposed to high pressure oxygen or
nitrous oxide.
• Use only proper repair tools and parts. Use
only approved repair parts provided by
BeaconMedæs.
• Do not use chemicals, lubricants or sealants
unless specified in these instructions.
• Before connecting liquid containers or high-
pressure cylinders to manifold or reserve
header, momentarily open and close
container/cylinder valves to blow out dirt and
debris.
• After connecting liquid containers and high-
pressure cylinders, open container/cylinder
s-l-o-w-l-y to allow heat of compression to
dissipate.
• Do not use flame or "sniff" test for leaks.
• Do not apply heat to any part of the manifold
system.
• Always secure high-pressure cylinders with
racks, straps, or chains. Unrestrained
cylinders may fall over and damage or break
off cylinder valve.
• Do not repeatedly bend, sharply bend, or
twist the copper pigtails as damage to the
tubing may occur.
• Do not bend flexible pigtails into a radius
smaller than 3".
