manometer must be vertical so the fluid is level on both
sides.
5.7.5
Adjust the slide rule to align the zero with the
fluid level. Refer to Figure 21.
5.7.6
Needle placement:
Figure 20 shows the
manometer setup for taking both periodic and frequent
static-pressure readings.

5.7.6.1
To take frequent readings:
Permanently install
the manometer for taking frequent readings. Remove the
1/4" NPT plug from the coupling on the reclaimer body
and install a fitting with a 1/8" hose barb. Use thread
sealer to prevent leaks. The fitting should be capable of
being capped when the manometer tube is removed.
Capping the fitting will prevent leaks that alter the
reclaimer’s separation efficiency.
5.7.6.2
To take occasional readings:
Leave the
needle protector on the needle and insert the needle into
the unused end of the tubing. The ends of the tubing
must fit tight on the manometer and needle; leaks will
give inaccurate readings. Open the reclaimer fill door,
remove the needle protector, and place the needle so
the point is inside the door opening. Carefully close the
door on the needle. The side of the needle will embed
into the rubber door gasket, creating an airtight seal.
5.7.7
Open cabinet doors and turn the exhauster ON.
The negative (static) pressure will move fluid in the tube.
NOTE: Readings must be taken with the cabinet
doors open and with the exhauster running.
5.7.8
To find the static pressure, add the number of
inches the fluid travels up one column to the inches the
fluid travels down the other column. Refer to the
example in Figure 21.
Figure 21
5.7.9
After taking the readings, replace the needle
protector. Close the manometer valves and store the
manometer in the original container in a clean area.
NOTE: If the manometer installation is permanent, the
manometer may remain on the reclaimer body after the
valves are closed.
5.8
Foot Shelf (Ergonomic models only)
5.8.1
Raise the shelf to remove pressure from the
locating pins and remove the pins. Adjust the shelf
height and insert the pins.
The manometer must be vertical
when taking pressure readings.
Refer to Paragraph 5.7.6.2.
When taking occasional
readings, position the
needle so the point is
inside the door opening.
Carefully close the door
on the needle.
With the exhauster OFF,
slide the rule to align the
zero with the fluid level.
Refer to Paragraph 5.7.6.1.
For taking frequent readings,
remove plug and install a
permanent fitting in the
coupling, as shown.
To obtain the pressure reading: With the
exhauster ON, add the number of
inches the fluid travels up the column to
the inches the fluid travels down the
other column. The total is the static-
pressure reading.
Reclaimers are for reference and
may differ from those shown.
Reclaimer Fill Door
In the example shown, fluid traveled up
the right column 1-3/4"
and down the left column 1-3/4".
Static pressure is determined by adding
the columns together. In the example,
the static pressure is 3-1/2".
