4.1 Completing an Air Quality Test
Select the required test to be undertaken from the 3 options
High-pressure charging compressors
High-pressure cylinder 200bar or lower
High-pressure cylinder greater than 200bar
Note: For cylinder tests please ensure the test is carried out on a recently filled, fully charged cylinder.
Note: For the high-pressure charging compressor test a DIN to DIN adaptor ref: F2158 is required to
connect the F3002 high-pressure regulator to a charging hose.
Connect the F3002 high-pressure regulator
assembly to the cylinder or charging hose to be
tested, ensuring that the regulator has the
correct type of connector for the cylinder.
Connect the regulator hose coupling to both the
regulator and the inlet of the tester.
Open the cylinder valve and check that the cylinder is fully charged by reading the contents gauge on
the regulator. (A partially discharged cylinder can give an incorrect water result.) The pressure
displayed on the tester will be that of the regulated supply from the cylinder and must not exceed
10 bar. Press the button in the top right hand corner to proceed.
Note:- if the unit is over-pressurised it will automatically shut down and display an overpressure
warning; it will then need to be returned to the manufacturer for checking and resetting.
Carry out the odour test by depressing the odour
test button and smelling the air exhausted from
the sintered outlet. If there is a serious odour
problem, fail the sample at this point of the test.
Initiating flows of seriously contaminated air
through the tube ports could result in damage to
the unit. If the odour test is satisfactory, press
the ‘pass’ icon.
