1)
Set the Adjustable Regulator on the back of the Duplicator 2 to 70 PSI when
inflating foil balloons.
Foil Balloon Inflation
2)
Place the foil balloon over the Foil Outlet. Pinch the neck of the balloon between
thumb and forefinger and press down on the outlet. Support the foil balloon in an
upright position until enough helium has entered the balloon to hold it up. This insures
the neck of the balloon does not fold over and restrict the flow of helium. When the
balloon has reached the proper pressure the Duplicator 2 will automatically shut off the
helium flow.
Close the cylinder valve or shut off the air compressor.
Most air compressors are factory set to automatically cycle on at 90 PSI and
automatically cycle off at 120 PSI. The Duplicator 2 must have a steady supply of
air or gas to produce equal size balloons. For accurate sizing, it is essential to work
within the limits of the cubic foot per minute capacity of the air compressor.
Important Guidelines When Using an Air Compressor
• Compressor must build up tank pressure before inflating balloons.
• The output setting on the air compressor should not exceed 80 PSI. If
the compressor is set higher than 80 PSI, the Duplicator 2 will out perform the
compressor’s storage tank capacity.
Air Compressor Required Specifications
• Primary Moisture Filter
• 20 Gallon Storage Tank
• Cycle Pressure: 90 PSI On - 120 PSI Off
• Compressed Air Availability: 6.5 Cubic Foot/Minute @ 90 PSI
• After each job, blow down the compressor to remove water collected
in the tank during compression. The Duplicator 2 will require factory rework
and recalibration if moisture enters its system.
• Power surges will affect the accuracy of the Duplicator 2. Line voltage must
be steady at 120 volts. Use a power strip with surge protection.
Recommendations For Use With An Air Compressor
Shutting Down the Duplicator 2

1
Release the pressure from the regulator by holding down the Soft-Touch Push
Valve. Remove the regulator from the cylinder.
To release the pressure in the supply hose, hold down the foil outlet while the
supply hose is still connected to the unit.
