The Liberty Blue requires an inert gas source (either high purity grade nitrogen or argon) capable of supplying 25
psi (20 L/min ow) within ten feet (10’)/three meters (3 m) of the right side of the instrument.
Electrical Requirements
The Liberty Blue requires electrical power of 120 VAC (60 Hz, 1.7 A) (or 240 VAC [50 Hz, 1.7 A] where applicable).

instrument, where the power cord connects to the Liberty Blue module). The fuses are rated F 250 V 2 A. The
top pair of fuses (PN BR198826) are North American style, 5 mm x 20 mm size, and are rated F 250 V 2 A. The
bottom pair of fuses (PN 188340) are North American style, 5 mm x 20 mm size, and are rated F 250 V 10 A.
