Connecting the Air Server-xr to the UNITY-xr 

 

Insert the split tube and Air Server-xr interface link 
(SERASU-5068) into the split side of the heated 
valve as shown and fully lower the split tube cover 
to ensure a leak tight seal.  

 

Connect the other end of the Air Server-xr link tube 
to the 1/16-inch 

‘SAMPLE OUT’ 

union on the back 

of the Air Server-xr.

  

 

NOTE

: If a dryer is to be fitted, see Section 3.7
