(1) Appropriately connect the cylinder to the filling system and refill.
NOTE
: For cylinders with alphaCLICK 2, the adapter must be removed before filling unless
the filling system has been adapted for the alphaCLICK 2.
(2) Terminate the filling when the pressure reaches the maximum service pressure and allow
the cylinder to cool to room temperature.
NOTE
: Some cylinders may only be filled with a limited speed. Observe the cylinder oper-
ating manual.
(3) If necessary, top-off the cylinder such that the service pressure is attained with the cylinder
at a temperature of 20 °C.
(4) Close the valves on the cylinder and the filling system and remove the cylinder.
(5) Apply a leak solution to determine if there is any leakage between the cylinder and the valve.
If there is no leakage, the cylinder is ready for use.
WARNING!
Never fill cylinders in explosive atmospheres. Enter areas with explosive atmospheres only after
the filled cylinder has cooled down.
