Introduction
The Amico Economy Manifold incorporates the basic necessities for the distribution and monitoring of medical gases.
The manifold has been designed to provide user flexibility and reliability. This manual will enable the customer to install,
use and maintain the manifold properly.
The total amount of medical gas contained in the left and right banks is displayed on the analog gauges on either side
of the manifold. These gauges are provided to show the cylinder bank pressure “In Use” and the cylinder bank pressure
“In Reserve” at all times.
When the gas cylinder pressure depletes on the “In Use” (primary) side, below the set point of the pressure switch, a
signal will go to the master alarm (or remote buzzer) informing the facility personnel that the “In Use” cylinder bank
pressure is low and the cylinders need replacement. At this point, it is necessary to silence the alarm (or buzzer) and
manually switch the lever from the depleted bank to the full bank to indicate the bank “In Use.” The next step is to
change the cylinders. Open the new cylinders to automatically reset the pressure switch and cancel the alarm condition.
NOTE:
BEFORE changing the empty cylinders, move the lever over from the depleted “In Use” bank to the “Reserve” bank
to indicate the bank supplying pressure.
FEATURES INCLUDE:
• Heavy duty line regulator to produce optimum gas flow
• Pressure switch with dry contacts to indicate Reserve In Use alarm
• Check valves provided to prevent back flow from one bank to another
• Removable cabinet enclosure for easy installation and service
• Maximum inlet pressure is 3,000 psi (20,685 kPa)
• Maximum delivery pressure is 180 psi (1,242 kPa)
