Concoa IntelliSwitch Maniflex 628 Series, Инструкция по эксплуатации, Страница: 2 / 8

--
DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT
The 628 Series Maniflex is modular gas distribution system that may be connected to regulators, dual regulator switchovers, and autoswitch
systems. A modular gas distribution system allows the user to size the inlet capacity of a system so that cylinder changes will not be as
frequent. With standard and compact manifold stations, one cylinder may be connected to each starter block and extension. With double
row manifold stations, two cylinders may be connected to each starter block and extension. Mount the single row Maniflex system with the
knob forward as shown. Mount the double row manifold system with the knob pointing up as shown.

This equipment or any of its parts should not be altered without prior written approval by CONCOA. The user of this equipment shall have
the sole responsibility for any malfunction that results from improper use, faulty maintenance, damage, improper repair, or alteration by
anyone other than CONCOA or a service facility designated by CONCOA.
CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE
In the event of equipment failure, call CONCOA Customer Service. Please be prepared to provide the model number and serial number
of the equipment involved, in addition to some details regarding its application. This would include inlet and outlet pressures, flow rate,
environmental conditions, and gas service.
Things to consider before removing the system from the box….
1. Know the properties and special handling requirements of the gas being used. Many specialty gases are quite dangerous (flammable,
toxic, corrosive, simple asphyxiant, or oxidizers). Equipment failure or misuse may lead to the sudden release of service gas into
the surrounding area. Proper safety measures should be established to handle component failures.
2. Be sure that the assembly purchased is suitable for the gas and type of service intended. The label provides the following
information:
a. Model number
b. Serial number
Be sure that the equipment received conforms to the order specifications. The user is responsible for selecting equipment compatible
with the gas in use, and conditions of pressure, temperature, flow, etc. Selection information can be found in CONCOA technical
data sheets. In addition, CONCOA representatives are trained to aid in the selection process.
3. Inspect the assembly upon receipt to be sure that there is no damage or contamination. Pay particular attention to connecting
threads. While CONCOA assembles system components to exacting leak-tight standards, the customer should also inspect for
any loosening of parts that may occur in shipping or installation. Loose parts may be dangerously propelled from an assembly. If
there are adverse signs (leakage or other malfunction), return the assembly to the supplier. While it is advised that soiled regulators
be returned for cleaning, simple external dust or grease may be removed by a clean cloth and if required with aqueous detergent
suitable for the application. If there are signs of internal contamination, return to the supplier.
4. Before system startup, it is recommended that all systems be pressure tested, leak tested, and purged with an inert gas such as
nitrogen. To accomplish this with connections other than a CGA 580, it will be necessary to use an adapter. The recommended use
of an adapter is for temporary use, for start-up and system checks only. Adapters should never be used on a permanent basis.
Safety
Carefully read and comply with these instructions before installing or operating any high pressure gas manifold. These manifolds are
designed, manufactured, and tested to conform to industry standards for safety for high pressure gas manifolds for maximum inlet pressure
of 3000 PSI (200 bar), working pressure.
Always observe the following safety practices:
√ Store cylinders with valve caps screwed on, and cylinders chained to a supporting wall or column.
√ Handle cylinders carefully and only with valve caps screwed on. The cap will prevent the cylinder valve from breaking off at the
top of the cylinder if the cylinder is accidentally dropped or falls over. The cap also protects the cylinder valve from damage to
screw threads, which could cause leaky connections.
√ Always open valves slowly when high-pressure gases are being used. Open valves all the way.
√ Always be sure that a cylinder contains the correct gas before connecting it to any manifold.
√ Always leak-test any manifold or distribution pipeline before using.
√ Always be sure that the gas in a pipeline is the correct gas for the intended use.
√ Always install a blind gland and nut or piping plug on any manifold inlet fitting if no cylinder is connected to the fitting before opening
any cylinder valve which is already connected to the manifold.
√ Always close all cylinder valves before disconnecting cylinders from a manifold.
