Operating Instructions
Pre-Use Check-out Procedure (each time before starting)
Warning – Fire Hazard
Failure to follow the prescribed procedures may result in a
hazardous situation.
The generator must be placed and used on firm, stable, and
level surfaces. Tipping of the unit may cause liquid aerosol
reagent spillage that can lead to BURNS OR FIRE.
Each time before starting operation of the generator, perform the
following inspections. Any failure of these inspections must be
addressed and corrected before attempting to start the generator.
1. Inspect power cord for degradation, frays, prong damage, etc.
Replace the power cord if necessary. Use only the ATI
supplied power cord (See Appendix B Spare Parts for
replacement).
2. Inspect inert gas source for proper gas type, adequate tank
pressure, and regulator operation.
3. Inspect inert gas line; check the line for any leaks, cracks,
kinks, or signs of wear. Replace the line if necessary.
4. Inspect liquid aerosol reagent container label for proper
identification, expiration date, etc. Also inspect liquid aerosol
reagent for cleanliness and transparency.
5. Fully close the Metering Valve and switch the Aerosol Switch
to OFF.
6. Place the generator in the location where it will be used.
Once the generator begins to heat up it should not be moved.
7. Position the generator so controls are readily accessible.
Warning – Fire Hazard
NEVER move the generator once it is producing aerosol.
