The outlet station can be surface mounted to the
cabinet surface, flush mounted in the cabinet
surface, or mounted inside the cabinet. See the
Outlet Stations installation and Parts Manual.
Consult with the practitioner to determine the
desired location.
5. The cabinet must be properly designed.
The cabinet must be large enough to contain the
mixer head, the bag tee and scavenging system
(if mounted inside), the gas outlet station, the
gas shutoff valves, and all the connecting hoses
and fittings.
NFPA 99C specifically prohibits hoses and
flexible connectors from being installed in walls,
floors, ceilings, and partitions.
The minimum depth of the cabinet, where the
mixer head mounts, is 6-
1/2”. See Section 2,
Specifications.
Check your local building codes regarding
electrical, gas connection, and certification
requirements. Typically, gas and electrical
connections must be accessible after
installation.
6. Determine the location of the cabinet.
Consult with the practitioner to determine the
desired location.
Consider the necessary connections to the
central gas supply.
Consider the availability of an electrical outlet.
The mixer head requires an electrical connection
and is
supplied with a 10’ power cord. It may be
necessary to install an electrical outlet.
1.3
Pre-Installation
1. Install the necessary gas plumbing from the central
gas supply.
2. If separate gas outlet stations are to be installed,
install the necessary gas plumbing. See the Outlet
Stations Installation and Parts Manual.
NOTE
All piping for medical gases must conform to the
NFPA 99C guidelines (see Introduction) and local
fire and building codes.
3. If necessary, install the electrical outlet and
connection.
4. Solder a Matrx shutoff valve to each gas line that
will connect to the mixer head and the scavenging
control valve; see Figures 2 and 9. For soldering
requirements, see the NFPA 99C guidelines in the
Introduction.
NOTE
Each mixer must have its own set of shutoff valves
for its gases.
5. Install the cabinet
according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
1.4
Mixer Head Installation
There are 3 possible configurations for the mixer head
(see Figure 3):
small
— use when there is no preexisting hole in
the cabinet and no outlet station is to be
mounted next to the mixer head
large (centered)
— use when there is a
preexisting hole in the cabinet and no outlet
station is to be mounted next to the mixer
head
large (with integral outlet station)
— use when
an oxygen outlet station is to be mounted next to
the mixer head
Associated with each configuration is an installation
template, a mounting shelf, and a bezel.
NOTE
The equipment is supplied with one installation
template, one bezel (assembled to the mixer head),
and one mounting shelf only.
