Installation, Operation, and Maintenance
VWR Zero Air Generator
Operation
After the zero air generator is installed, operation is very simple. The operating
procedure consists of turning on the generator, letting the catalyst heat up to
operating temperature, and starting the compressed air flow.
The following instructions take you step by step through the startup procedure:
For Model 26000-020
1.
Start the flow of compressed air through the system and allow it to stabilize.
2.
Supply power to the generator and turn on the power switch. A power light
should illuminate indicating that power is supplied to the generator.
3.
Wait for the catalyst to heat up to its operating temperature (approximately 45
minutes).
4.
Begin using your instrument.
For Model 26000-022
1.
Supply power to the generator, and turn on the power switch. A power light
should come on indicating that power is supplied to the generator. No air is
needed at this time if you want a faster startup time.
2.
Wait for the catalyst to heat up to its operating temperature. This should take
approximately 30 minutes. If you supplied compressed air to the unit, it will
take approximately 45 minutes to reach operating temperature.
3.
For the fast start up, start the flow of compressed air through the system and
allow it to stabilize.
4.
Begin using your instrument.
Caution:
Do not overflow the unit. Maintain a flow rate at or below the maximum
flow rating, 3500 cc/min (0.124 ft
3
/min) for Model 26000-022, and 1000 cc/min
(0.035 ft
3
/min) for Model 26000-020
