CONNECTIONS TO FLOWMETER - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Flowmeter Gas Supply Tubing is connected to the Outlet Station via a quick connect coupler. The Porter 8060 series duplex connec-
tor simultaneously connects the Oxygen and Nitrous oxide tubing, and prevents the Nitrous Oxide from being connected unless the
Oxygen is connected.
Quick Connecting:
You may quick connect to the station when the system pressure is at its normal 50 PSI; the primary check
valves seal this pressure. The coupler has a locating latch. Simply insert the coupler into the appropriate check valve and confirm the
latch
is in place behind the catch feature of the valve. A gentle tug on the coupler will confirm a stable latch position. Internally, within the
primary check valve, an o-ring seals against a poppet. The same o-ring seals against the quick connect extensions upon insertion.
Slide the latch out of position to remove the connector and the internal poppet will automatically move back into its sealing position.
Resuscitator:
Remove the duplex connector so a resuscitator quick connect may be inserted into the oxygen station position.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Use scavenging.
Monitor for N
2
O in the operatory to insure that controls are effective in achieving low levels of ppm (parts per
million) exposure. Contact your Porter dealer for details on monitors and testing.
Inspect and maintain
the analgesia delivery system to prevent N
2
O leaks in all hoses, connections and fittings. Repair all leaks
immediately.
MONTHLY CHECK
Leak test the entire system for working pressure leaks.
Connect an 8060 series duplex connector and hoses into the Outlet
Station. Attach the other end of the hoses to a flowmeter and turn the flow control knobs to the off position and the on/off switch
to the off position.
Pressurize the sedation gas supply lines with 50 PSI. Observe any pressure decay after 12 hours. This 50 PSI test with the flowmeter
tubing connections in place tests the seal of the duplex connector extended into the o-rings of the outlet station primary check valves.
(5 PSI drop allowed.)
