could be turned orthogonal to the placement in the figure with a portion protruding
outside the hood. If this configuration is selected, the Xtreme-10 should be placed
on the left side of the hood with the inlet / outlet side facing to the right hand side.
This places the internal tubing fully in the hood for optimal safety. The Xtreme
Controller could then be placed on top of the Xtreme Pump Box. Not shown are
nitrogen and carbon dioxide cylinders which would be outside the fume hood.
CONNECTION DETAILS
Once the instruments have been positioned the equipment should be connected
using the included 1/16” stainless steel tubing, the high pressure 15-AM1 glands,
and 15-2A1 sleeves. These steps should be followed when making a high pressure
connection:
i) Deburr the end of the tube section.
ii) Assemble the gland then sleeve onto the tube end.
iii) Insert the end of the tube into the fitting until it bottoms.
iv) Tighten the gland to 55 in·lb. A “bottoming out” or “dead stop” should be felt
when the connection is properly assembled.
Always use two wrenches when tightening fittings: one to tighten the
gland and one to prevent counter rotation of the fitting receptacle.
Failure to do so could break loose internal connections.
Make the following connections using high pressure tubing and fittings unless
otherwise specified:
