Pa / 5 ± 2 bar.
For the country-specific gas bottles Erbe Elektromedizin offers the appropriate pres-
sure reducer complete with pressure sensor. Information is available from Erbe or your
distributor.
Remove the protective cap from the gas bottle (not with French gas bottles, for which
the gas bottle collar is left in place). Remove the valve closure nut. Screw the union nut
(1) of the pressure reducer onto the gas bottle (clockwise) by hand only. Do not use
tools! To prevent any soiling of the valve connection, screw the pressure reducer onto
the gas bottle at once.
