OPERATION
INITIAL SYSTEM PREPARATION
Pressurizing the CO2/Compressed Air System
The Helix unit is designed to operate on a CO2/compressed air input pressure of
0.48-0.83 MPa (70-120 psig). A shutoff valve must be installed in the line to the
Helix unit. Perform the procedure in Table 1 to pressurize the CO
2/compressed air
system.
Pressurizing the Water System
The Helix unit is designed to operate with a water inlet pressure of 0.48-0.83 MPa
(70-120 psig)
Perform the procedure in Ta bl e 2 to verify the water connection to the unit.
!
WARNING:
The unit must only be connected to a clean, potable water supply.
Table 1.
Step Action
1
Open the
CO2/compressed air cylinder valve slightly to allow lines to slowly fill
with gas. When lines are fully pressurized, listen and check for leaks. Open the
CO2/compressed air cylinder valve all the way until it back-seats itself (this pre-
vents leaks from the valve).
2
Adjust the CO2/compressed air cylinder regulator for the unit to between 0.48-
0.83 MPa (70-120 psig) at the unit.
3
Check for
CO2/compressed air leaks by turning off the CO2/compressed air
supply to the unit and listening for leaks. Wait at least 3 minutes and check the
CO2/compressed air cylinder gauge to see if the pressure has dropped.
4 The system is now ready for operation.
Table 2.
Step Action
1 Turn on the water supply to the unit.
2 Check the system for leaks.
3 The water system is now ready for operation.
