6.9. Changing Gas Cylinders
When you change a gas cylinder on IDS, there is a specific set of steps that must be followed in a
certain order. First, you should disable the Gas In connection in the DSSAC. Then, disconnect
the gas cylinder from the IDS, and reconnect the new bottle. Finally, open the DSSAC
application and configure the Gas In connection to use the new gas.
The order of operations is important to prevent any calibration errors. For example, if a Gas In
connection is not disabled before disconnecting a gas cylinder, there is a chance that the system
might attempt a calibration while there is no gas connected. Disabling the Gas In connection
prevents this from occurring.
NOTE:
If you are using iGas, cylinder changes are automatically detected when you change
Smart Cards. Please refer to section 6.11 Using iGas for additional information about
configuring gas cylinders using iGas.
