ASSEMBLY
1. If an external compressor will be used to supply the air, connect it to the
“inlet” bulkhead with ¼" O.D. line.
IMPORTANT:
Applications using an external air source must pressure regulate
to 70 PSI or less, and must pre-condition the inlet air in accordance with ISO
standard 8573-1. A minimum air quality level of Class 2 for hydrocarbons (oils)
and Class 1 for particulates (dust, rust, etc.) is required. Failure to meet this
requirement can potentially degrade the performance of certain components in the
zero air supply.
2. Using 1/4" Teflon, or pre-cleaned metal tubing, connect the outlet of the
Model 1160 to the device requiring “zero air” (See Figure 2-1).
3. Remove protective caps that cover the drain ports in the rear panel. If
desired, connect a drain line to these ports using 1/8" compression fittings or
soft tubing such as silicone rubber.
4. Fill and re-install the internal scrubbers and check that the hold-down
screws are securely fastened. (Detailed instructions are presented at the end
of this chapter.)
5. Check the voltage label to verify that it matches the local power and plug
the AC line cord into an appropriate power source.
