V. System Operation and Controls
This section of the manual will detail system start up, automatic operation, and manual
overrides of the machine. The user is urged to study this section of the manual completely
and fully understand all phases of machine operation BEFORE operating the machine.
A. Manual Overrides and System Control Description
Normal system operation will be accomplished in the automatic mode as described in the
following sections of the manual. Occasionally the user may desire to manually override
the function of system components. Manual operation of the machine is required during
maintenance operations. This section of the manual will describe the purpose and function
of all front control panel components. Refer to figure-5: Front Control Panel Detail.
1. System Power Toggle Switch: Controls the supply of user connected main power to
the machine.
2. System Power Lamp: Indicates the condition of user connected main power to the
machine. The lamp is illuminated when the system power switch is in the on position.
3. System Ready Lamp: Indicates when the machine internal processing tank has been
cooled to the value of the temperature controller alarm #1 setting.
4. Processing Lamp: Continuously illuminated when the machine is processing in the
automatic mode. The source container is not empty and ready for removal until this
lamp has extinguished. This lamp will also flash along with a combination of level lamps
to indicate an error condition.
5. Halon In Lamp: Indicates that the inlet solenoid valve of the machine is open allowing
Agent to flow into the machine.
6. Evacuation Lamp: Indicates when the machine is evacuating vapor from the source
container using the evacuation compressor and the compressor inlet solenoid valve.
7. N2 Vent Lamp: Indicates when the machine is separating nitrogen from the Agent.
During separation the nitrogen vent solenoid valve will be open and nitrogen will be
purging out of the machine.
8. Halon Out Lamp: Indicates when recycled AGENT is being pumped out of the
machine through the outlet pump and solenoid valve into the user’s receiving container.
9. Manual Inlet Valve: Opening this valve will allow Agent connected to the inlet port of
the machine to flow into the machine through the inlet particulate filter and inlet
pressure regulator up to the inlet solenoid valve.
10. Inlet Evacuation Valve: Use this valve and port for connection to a vacuum
pump to evacuate any plumbing connected to the Manual Inlet Valve. This valve
may also be used as a secondary Manual Inlet Valve.
11. Processed Particulate Indicator: Indicates requirement of the processed particulate
filter element maintenance. When the red indicator of the filter pops out, the filter
element will require replacement.
12. Moisture Indicator: The indicator serves as a sight glass for inspection of the
incoming Agent flow. It will indicate the moisture content of the agent via a color
change: When the color indicator of the sight glass is violet the agent is dry. When the
color of the indicator is orange the agent has moisture contamination, the filter elements
may need to be replaced.
