Installing the ARES-G2
TA Instruments recommends that you schedule a service technician to unpack and install your instrument.
The instructions given here are provided for reference, if needed.
CAUTION: Read the installation, operating, and maintenance instructions that were supplied with
your air dryer. Failure to properly operate and maintain your air dryer will result in extensive dam-
age to this instrument. Excessive moisture in the air supply may damage the test station.
MISE EN GARDE: Lisez les instructions d'installation, d'utilisation et de maintenance fournies avec
votre déshydrateur d'air. L'utilisation et la maintenance inappropriées du déshydrateur d'air entraî-
nent d'immenses dégâts sur l'instrument. L'excès de moisissure dans l'alimentation en air peut
endommager la station d'essai.
Connecting the Air Dryer
The dew point of the supplied air should be 10°C or lower. It is highly recommended that the optional air
dryer/filter be installed between the test station and the air supply. If the air supply has excessive moisture
levels that result in the immediate condensation into water, a pre-air dryer system will be required. An oil-
less compressor system is recommended as well.
The air source going into the dryer should have a minimum pressure of 100 psi (0.68 MPa). Follow the
instructions below to install the air dryer.
1
Mount the air dryer to a wall in close proximity to the ARES-G2 to allow the lines to reach the back of
the instrument. See the figure below.

CAUTION: Make sure there is no power going to the power supply unit while making the connec-
tions described here. Turn the power switch to the off position.
MISE EN GARDE: Assurez-vous que le bloc d'alimentation électrique n'est pas alimenté en courant
pendant le réglage des connexions décrites ici. Placez l'interrupteur d'alimentation sur la position
d'arrêt.
