Two-tank purging configuration
To purge the gas lines, follow these steps.
1.
Attach gas lines as described in the previous sections.
2.
Close the valves on the gas cylinders of all gas lines to be purged.
3.
Turn on the mains power by pressing the upper portion of the power switch
located on the rear panel.
4.
Touch
Options
on the lower right of the display panel touch screen.
5.
Touch
Service
on the left of the display.
6.
Touch
Clear Gas Lines
near the top of the display.
7.
Select the gas lines
that need purging. You may check as many lines as you
have installed, but remember that the gas cylinder valve of each line selected
must be closed, or the purging process will never complete. You may purge all
the installed gas lines at the same time, or purge the lines individually one
after the other by repeating this process.
8.
Select
Yes
to confirm, and follow the instructions on the screen.
9.
The gas purging cycle takes about 20 minutes to complete. The selected lines
will be evacuated to a high vacuum state to remove all remaining gases. If
there are any leaks in these gas lines, the flow rate for that gas line will not
reach the target value and the purging cycle will not complete successfully. If
needed, press
Cancel
and correct the gas line setup before trying again.
10.
When the purge cycle is complete, the screen will indicate that it is time to
open the gas valve on the cylinder
of those gas lines that have been purged.
