9.2.1. Gas Supply Specifications

It is recommended that only zero or research grade argon gas be used with the glass processor. Any
other gas may damage the unit or shorten the lifetime of the filament. Please note that zero grade argon
gas is specified as 99.999% pure with O
2
< 0.5ppm, H
2
O < 3.5ppm, and THC (Total Hydrocarbons) < 3.5
ppm. Research grade argon gas is cleaner with specifications of 99.9995% purity with CO
2
< 0.5 ppm,
H
2
O < 0.5 ppm, N
2
< 3.0 ppm, O
2
< 1.0 ppm, and THC < 0.5 ppm.

When using a large tank of gas, be sure the regulator is set to approximately 12 psi. Do not exceed 25 psi
under any circumstances. If no gas pressure is present at the input port, the splice station will interlock
and the “Low Argon” message box will be displayed if operation of the filament is initiated.

Use only the included gas line to interconnect the regulator to the splicing system. If an extended length
gas line is required between the regulator and the splicer, please contact Thorlabs for purity requirements
and line specifications.
