TESTING THE SYSTEM
To test the system, press and hold the Mute button for five seconds. At this time, the manifold display will
begin a self-diagnostic test and then return to normal working condition.
TESTING THE REMOTE ALARM/CONTROLLER
1. Make certain the remote alarm controller (RAC) is connected via a CAT5 or CAT6 cable.
2. Confirm the following:
a. Line pressure LED's correspond to the manifold LED's.
b. Reserve LED's are green when the Reserve is ready to use, or red when the Reserve is empty.
CAUTION:
Tampering with gas specific connections is prohibited. Do not alter, remove or modify gas specific
connections.
Keep all manifold parts, tools and work surfaces free of oil, grease and dirt. These and other
flammable materials may ignite when exposed to high pressure oxygen or nitrous oxide. Do not use
chemicals, lubricants or sealants unless specified in these instructions.
Before connecting a cylinder to the manifold, momentarily open and close cylinder valve to blow out
dirt and debris.
After connecting cylinder to manifold, open the cylinder valve S-L-O-W-L-Y to allow heat of
compression to dissipate.
Do not use flame or “sniff” tests for leaks.
Do not apply heat to any part of the manifold system.
Always secure high-pressure cylinders with racks, straps or chains. Unrestrained cylinders may fall
over and damage or break cylinder valve.
Do not repeatedly bend, sharply bend, or twist hoses as damage to tubing may occur.
Do not put the manifold into operation until a qualified person has inspected and passed the
installation as per NFPA 99 or other local standards.
