Instructions for refilling the gas bottles
Refilling the gas bottles can be done by using either another bottle or a high pressure compressor. The
maximal refilling pressure is 200 and the capacity is 2 liters.
When the refilling is done from another bottle, the included RU 3 connector can be used.
The refilling by a high pressure compressor can be made by a direct connection.
Turn the Selection valve to “Equalize”
Turn the Relief (vent) valve fully counter clockwise
Close both the Bottle shut off valve and the Supply valve by turning these fully clockwise
Turn the “Pressure control valve” fully counter clockwise
Connect the filling hose to the “Refill connection’
Set the compressor or the external bottle to a maximum pressure of 200 bar
Slowly open the “Bottle shut off valve”. The gas bottles now will be refilled and the pressure of the
bottles can be checked on the Manometer 3
Slowly refill the gas bottle. A quick refilling will increase the temperature. An increase in
temperature will affect the pressure by increasing it. This means no optimal filling will be obtained;
Close the gas “Bottle shut off valve” and shut-off the compressor
To get the filling hose free of pressure:
o
Turn the Pressure control valve 4 turns clockwise
o
Open the Supply valve by turning it counter clockwise
o
Slowly open the Relief (vent) valve by turning it counter clockwise. Now the overpressure at
the Refill connection will decrease to zero
Now it is safe to disconnect the filling hose

End of use
Turn the Mode selector valve to “Equalize”
Close the Bottle shut off valve
Open the Relief (vent) valve
Set the Pressure control valve to a minimum
Open the Supply valve
Disconnect the unit under test from the unit
Disconnect the test hoses and put them in the carrying case in the lid of the TRAQC-8

Storage
End the utilization of the TRAQC-8 DPC as follows:
Turn the selection valve to “Equalize”
Store it indoors, in a temperature between 0 and 60° Celsius
Decrease the Pressure control valve turning it fully anti clock wise
Open both the Relief valve and the Supply valve
Empty the internal gas bottles by slowly opening the Bottle shut off valve
Place the cover of the TRAQC-8 DPC back on and close the four locks
Place the case a horizontal position
The Traqc-8 DPC is equipped with rechargeable batteries, which must need to be stored fully charged,
charging and discharging of batteries once every 3 months is advised.
When connected to the mains power a trickle charge will be maintained.
