A5/A3™ Operating Instructions 046-003777-00 xvii
Notes Introduction
CAUTION: Turn the flow controls slowly. To avoid damaging the control valves, do
not turn further when the flowmeter reading is outside the range.
When turning a flow control knob clockwise to decrease flow, the
flowmeter should reach zero before the knob reaches its most
clockwise mechanical stop (Off) position. Do not turn any further when
the knob has reached the Off position.
Similarly, when turning a flow control knob counterclockwise to
increase flow from zero, the flowmeter reading should not indicate a
change from zero until the flow control knob is turned approximately
one (1) rotation counterclockwise from the Off position, and only if
permitted according to the gas ratio control system.
Notes
NOTE: Figures in this manual are provided for reference purposes only.
Screens may differ based on the system configuration and selected
parameters.
NOTE: Put the equipment in a location where you can easily see the screen and
access the operating controls.
NOTE: Keep this manual close to the equipment so that it can be obtained
conveniently when needed.
NOTE: The software was developed in compliance with IEC 60601-1. The
possibility of hazards arising from software errors is minimized.
NOTE: This manual describes all features and options. Your equipment may
not have all of them.
