Dry Air/Nitrogen Connections
CANNON recommends the use of dry air as the most effective compressed gas supply. An air dryer
should be installed on your line as close to the instrument as possible to prevent condensation and
corrosion.
To complete compressed gas connections, attach the gas supply to the Air Input on the Control Unit
with the longer of the ¼ inch OD plastic tubes. Connect the shorter lengths of ¼ inch OD plastic
tubing between the fittings on the rear of the Control Unit (CU) and the connections at the rear of
the Load Frame. The Bearing Out connection should be linked to the Bearing In connection on the
Load Frame. The Cylinder Out connection (CU) should be linked to the Cylinder In connection on the
Load Frame. Refer to Figure 12.
