V. System Operations and Controls (continued)
D. Automatic System Operation
NOTE: Normal system operation will always be performed in the automatic mode. When
using for the first time after machine installation or, after system evacuation
maintenance operations: complete the Initial System Start-Up procedure section-V.B. of
this manual before operation in the automatic mode. A Complete System Evacuation
section-VII. K, and System Start-Up section-V. B, must be performed before processing a
different type of agent otherwise the agent will be cross contaminated
1. Connect clean dry nitrogen gas to the Nitrogen Supply Port of the machine as per
section-IV.E: Nitrogen Supply. Install a receiving container to the Outlet of the machine
as per section-IV.F: Receiver Storage Container Connections.
WARNING! The receiving container must be capable of containing the quantity of
AGENT to be automatically processed to a fill level no greater than 80%
of container volume: otherwise a dangerous overfill condition of the
receiving container will occur.
CAUTION: Never operate the machine in the Automatic Mode without a receiving
container connected to the Outlet Port of the machine. Total loss of
recycled AGENT will result. Leak test and evacuate the receiving
container and all interconnecting plumbing to the receiving container to a
minimum 2500-micron vacuum level. Failure to evacuate will result in air
and moisture contamination of the receiving container. If the receiving
container already contains clean AGENT: only the interconnecting
plumbing will require evacuation.
CAUTION: Failure to leak test the plumbing connections could result in total loss of
recovered Agent.
2. Remove the valve cap from the nitrogen vent port. Retain this cap for periods of disuse
and maintenance requirements.
