The maximum permissible concentration of hydrogen in the anaerobic mixed gas is 5.5%. The use
of any other gas(ses) will invalidate the warranty and may cause serious injury. The Gas supplies
must be securely fastened after installation.
Gas regulator requirements
Gas regulators must be used with all gas supplies to the workstation. A 2 stage regulator must be used
for each bottled gas supply. Regulators should be available from your local gas supplier. Ruskinn
Technology Limited does not supply gas regulators.
The gas regulator should provide a minimum supply pressure of 3(42psi) Bar Gauge. The maximum
supply pressure permissible is 4 bar gauge. A supply pressure greater than this will damage internal
components of the workstation and will invalidate the warranty.
The gasses are connected to the ICO
