LDARtools phx42 - Receiving After Shipping; Battery Charging Procedure

11
REMINDER: The phx42 MUST have the H
2
quick-fill cover in place at all times unless filling.
A very small amount of O-ring grease should be applied to the phx42 side of the quick connect
weekly. Apply as little as possible.
Your phx42 is now filled with hydrogen, and while it has been designed to minimize
possible leaks, you should handle and store it with caution.
TECH TIPS:
1. Maintain a constant pressure range of 400 – 1800 psi. If the hydrogen is allowed to drop
below 400 psi, you may have to follow the “Receiving After Shipping” procedure below.
2. Fill your cylinder at end-of-day, this accomplishes several things:
a. Analyzer will have enough hydrogen for end of day drift.
b. Being full overnight allows the calibrating tech to see if the pressure is stable or
dropping (leak test).
c. Motor needle valve has time to stabilize with a full cylinder.
3. Many successful users have adopted a 2-fill practice: Mid-day and End of day.
4. If the H
2
Quick Fill Cover pops off, it’s likely that there’s a hydrogen leak. Report an issue to
LDARtools Technical Support and send the Log files.
Receiving After Shipping
The battery and the hydrogen cylinder are drained for shipping. Special charging and fill procedures are
required.
Charge the battery:
1. PULL Charging Port Cover (LDAR# 42013) to access the charging port. Twisting/turning the
Cover to remove will damage the Tether. It does “click” into the Charging Port so some effort
will be required to remove the Charging Port Cover.
2. Align the red lines on the phx42 charger and the charger jack. Push gently and you will feel a
click.
3. Turn on phx42, if not already on. The power button should have a light on*.
4. If the pumps are still running, tap the power button four times to put the machine in Sleep
Mode.
If battery power is sufficient, power light on the phx42 will begin to breathe/pulse.
*REMINDER: If charging a phx42 with a fully depleted battery, the power button may blink rapidly or
not respond at all. Leave the phx42 powered off for a minimum of 90 minutes while connected to charger.
Then repeat steps 3 and 4.
