Operation
CAUTION
– Before operating the gas mixer, the gas lines should be connected to the gas
mixer controller and regulated to 1 bar/14.5 psi of pressure.
Under no circumstances any gas line should be connected, and pressure applied during operation
of the gas mixer, as this will cause damage to the system.
After using the system, it is important to switch “off” the gas. That ensures all valve positions are
set back to “closed”.
The procedure is explained in detail in the following sections.
