To configure an IDS Gas In connection to use calibration gas, follow the instructions below.
Step Instruction
1. Connect the demand flow regulator to the gas cylinder. With the gauge facing away
from you, place the regulator on top of the cylinder and turn the cylinder until it is
connected tightly.
2. Connect the open end of polyurethane gas tubing to the fitting on the demand flow
regulator. Connect the other end of the tubing to the CAL GAS (or ZERO AIR) port
on the back of the station; turn the leur clockwise to tighten.
NOTE: For Chlorine (Cl2), Ammonia (NH3) and Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) gases, the gas
tube length should not exceed three (3) feet.
NOTE: Industrial Scientific recommends that gas tubing should be ester-based polyurethane
type 85A. The maximum length for tubing is 3.05 m (10’); however, for Chlorine (Cl2),
Ammonia (NH3) and Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) gases, the gas tube length should not exceed .91
m (3').
Step Instruction
3. Log in to the DSSAC application. Click the Active Equipment or Docking Stations
option in the navigation pane.
4. Click on the serial number of the IDS for which you wish to configure Gas Inlet
connections.
5. The Docking Station Properties page appears. Click on the Gas Inlets option you
wish to configure. The Gas Inlets option in the Quick Links box will have either three
(3) or six (6) links (one for each Gas In connection on the IDS) depending on the
number of gas ports available on the docking station.
NOTE: Each Gas In section contains an icon to identify the status of the connection. See the
Table 4-4 for a description of each of the icons.
