6.3 Gas Line Installation
The following assembly operations should be performed only by Thermo Fisher Scientific
service or one of its representative or properly trained users by Thermo Fisher Scientific.
If the gas cylinder cannot be installed that way inside the instrument, please follow the
instructions in the Installation of an External Gas Cylinder on page
procedure to install the cylinder outside of the instrument.
First, you will have to install the gas regulator on the gas cylinder. Simply screw the threaded
fitting of the gas regulator on the gas cylinder (pay attention to the way of tightening it, the
threads are reversed compare to a classical thread). Tighten it well in order to avoid any leaks
but not too hard to avoid damage of the threads. Apply appropriate procedure for detecting
gas leakage.
A short hose of
6 mm diameter with a male quick fitting already
mounted is shipped with the instrument.
Connect the hose to the gas regulator. The connector is a standard
Swagelok gas connector.
Insert the hose to the gas regulator outlet (without dismounting the nut)
and tighten the nut by hand. Then, by using a wrench, tighten it by 1 full
turn and ¼ of turn.
Ensure the gas regulator is well closed (turn completely anti clockwise).
