3.3.10 COMPLETE FPG8601 SETUP
3.3.10.1 INSTALL THE PISTON-CYLINDER
The FPG8601 10 kPa/kg piston-cylinder is shipped in a PVC bullet case.
NEVER touch the lapped surfaces (polished appearance) of the piston or
cylinder with your bare hands. Body oils and acids can permanently etch the
surfaces.
Open the piston-cylinder bullet case by rotating its lid counterclockwise (if
necessary, remove the 2.5 mm countersunk screw on the lower (flat) section
of the bullet case to vent the inside of the case).
Remove the upper section of the bullet case.
Put on gloves to protect the piston-cylinder from contamination before
handling it.
Cup the exposed piston-cylinder with one hand and turn the piston-cylinder
lower section of the bullet case upside down supporting the piston-cylinder
with the cupped hand.
Lift the lower section of the bullet case off of the piston-cylinder.
Place the piston-cylinder on to a stable soft surface (lint-free towels). Take
care that the piston does not slide out of the cylinder.
Remove the FPG8601 lower mounting post. Loosen the nut at the center of
mounting post while applying slight upward pressure with one hand under
the lower mounting post. The upward pressure is necessary to relieve the
threads of the mounting post while turning the nut.
Remove the shipping insert from the mounting post by removing the indexing
pin and piston retaining nuts.
Install the piston-cylinder in the mounting post following the instructions in
Section 6.3.6.
3.3.10.2 CONNECT THE MANIFOLD AND VALVE 9
The bypass/control manifold is connected to the right side (viewed from the front)
of the FPG8601 Platform. The manifold itself was already connected to the
FPG8601 (see Section 3.3.4) and the piston-cylinder has already been installed
(see Section 3.3.10.1).
