V. System Operations and Controls (continued)
E. Disconnecting the Source Container When it is not Empty
NOTE: Use the following procedure if it becomes necessary to disconnect the agent
source container from the inlet of the machine before the machine finishes processing
in the automatic mode.
1. Depress and release the Stop Button on the front panel.
2. Close the valve of the source container to stop the flow of agent to the machine.
CAUTION: Failure to close the source container valve will result in agent loss and may
cause damage to the evacuation compressor of the machine.
3. Close the Manual Inlet Valve of the machine.
4. Observe the temperature display of the Process Temperature Controller and the
pressure display of the Pressure Controller.
5. If the temperature is below the alarm #2 set point of the Process Temperature
Controller (-60°F for Halon 1301 and FE25, -20°F for Halon 1211 or -10°F for FM200)
then complete the following purge procedure otherwise wait for the refrigeration section
to cool to the set point before continuing.
6. Place the N2 Valve Switch to the ON position venting from the process tank until the
pressure display is at least below 50 PSI. When the pressure is below 50 psi: place the
N2 Valve Switch to the AUTO position discontinuing venting.
7. Open the Manual Inlet Valve of the Machine.
8. Place the Inlet Valve Switch to the ON position.
9. Observe the Inlet Pressure Gauge on the front panel. When the pressure is below 100
psi: continue with step-10.
10. Place the Inlet Compressor Switch to the ON position. The vapor compressor will
begin to evacuate the remaining vapor from the inlet plumbing connected to the source
container.
11. Observe the Inlet Pressure Gauge of the front panel. When the pressure gauge
indicates a vacuum level, continue with step-12.
12. Place the Inlet Compressor Switch to the AUTO position.
13. Place the Inlet Valve Switch to the AUTO position.
14. Close the Manual Inlet Valve of the machine.
15. Disconnect the source container from the machine.
A method of capping the source container outlet should be used to guard against loss in
the event of shut off valve leakage or failure.
