8.
Slowly, fully open the valves to allow the flow of gas to the instrument.
9. As the instrument begins to draw gas from the generator the readings on the pressure gauges
may change. Adjust the gas pressures as needed using the regulator knobs.
10.
Once the pressure is set, press down on the regulator knobs to lock them in place. If the
pressure needs to be adjusted in the future, pull up on the knobs to unlock them.
5.2. Shutting Down the Generator
1. Ensure that gas is no longer required by the instrument. Keep the yellow outlet valves open.
2. Switch the generator off by pressing the green POWER button.
3. Depressurize the system:
a. PREFERRED METHOD: Wait at least 20 minutes for the generator to depressurize.
b. QUICK METHOD (~2 Min): Unplug the generator from the wall. Open the front panel by
loosening the two retaining screws at the bottom. Next, slightly loosen the two brass bleed
screws on the bottom of the two right-most blue filters. DO NOT FULLY REMOVE THE
BRASS BLEED SCREWS. See Figure 14 below for clarification. When the tank pressure
gauge reads zero, tighten the brass bleed screws.
4. Disconnect the power cord from the supply. Fully close all 3 outlet valves using the yellow valve
handles. The generator is now fully shut down and ready for transportation or service.
5. To transport the generator:
a. Disconnect the tubing from the instrument’s inlets and the generator’s outlets. Disconnect
the drain tube assembly and the power cord from the generator. Reinstall the shipping
brackets as shown in Section 4.3.
b. Unlock the casters and move the generator using at least two people.
c. Repack the generator in the shipping crate by following the steps in Section 4.3 in reverse
order. New crates and shipping brackets can be ordered from Parker. See Accessories in
Section 8 for more information.
