SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CALORIMETER (3K-1_A)
•
Electrical Shock: There are no user serviceable parts inside.
•
Do not open the bottom panel unless the supply cable has been disconnected.
•
Dangerous voltages will be present inside the unit after the supply cable has been disconnected.
DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE EARTHING - CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN SO THAT THE
EARTHING CAN BE CHECKED.
DO NOT USE ANY OTHER PIPE OTHER THAN THE HIGH PRESSURE PIPE SUPPLIED FOR OXYGEN
FILLING.
•
NOTE: With some applications you may need to fill the Vessel to less than 2400KPA e.g.1500KPA (15 bar),
however this is only applicable when you have a sample which is highly combustible, for example with wood
related samples. THE FILLING PRESSURE IS ADJUSTABLE on the regulator, the filling speed is adjustable on
the filling station.
REMEMBER: You may fill the Vessel LESS than 3000KPA but NEVER more than 3000KPA.
FILLING STATION (CAL2K-3)
•
Secure the Filling Station to the table.
•
Install the flexible high pressure pipe supplied without any sharp bends.
•
Check the nylon high pressure pipe supplied for any mechanical damage before putting it under pressure.
•
Secure the pipe nuts to the pressure regulator side, then clamp the ferrule to the high pressure pipe on the
gauge block side.
•
If the oxygen bottle is not situated close to the Filling Station or if it is in another room or perhaps outside,
then a solid, permanent installation of pressure piping should be installed, as well as a shut off valve and
pressure gauge within easy reach of the CAL2K-3 Filling Station.
•
If bottled oxygen is used, a suitable High Pressure oxygen regulator must be supplied by your Agent, or
sourced locally. Ordering this item from the factory ensures that the necessary modifications have been
made to fit the CAL2K-3 Filling Station.
•
The oxygen bottle should be secured according to regulations.
•
DO NOT USE ANY OTHER PIPE OTHER THAN THE HIGH PRESSURE PIPE SUPPLIED.
