F. Receiving Container Replacement
NOTE: Receiving Container replacement is most easily accomplished just after the
machine stops processing automatically and the empty source container is
disconnected. If the source container is not empty perform section-V.E: Disconnecting
the Source Container When it is not Empty; Before starting this procedure. Observe
the Inlet Pressure Gauge: the gauge must indicate zero pressure or a vacuum
condition.
1. Depress and release the Stop Button on the front panel.
2. Connect the Outlet Evacuation Valve to the Inlet Evacuation Valve using a refrigeration
service hose. Both valves remain closed.
3. Connect a vacuum pump to the Manual Inlet Valve of the front panel.
4. Open the Inlet Evacuation Valve.
5. Open the Manual Inlet Valve.
6. Operate the vacuum pump to achieve a vacuum indication on the Inlet Pressure Gauge
of the front panel.
7. Close the Manual Inlet Valve.
8. Discontinue vacuum pump operation and disconnect the vacuum pump from the
Manual Inlet Valve.
9. Close the receiving container valve.
10. Open the Outlet Evacuation Valve.
11. Place the Inlet Valve Switch to the ON position.
12. Observe the Inlet Pressure Gauge on the front panel. When the pressure is below 100
psi for Halon 1301 and FE25, below 15 psi for Halon 1211 and below 20 psi for FM200:
continue with step-13.
13. Place the Inlet Compressor Switch to the ON position. The vapor compressor will
begin to evacuate the remaining vapor from the outlet plumbing connected to the
receiving container.
14. Observe the Inlet Pressure Gauge of the front panel. When the pressure gauge
indicates a vacuum level, continue with step-15.
15. Place the Inlet Compressor Switch to the AUTO position.
16. Place the Inlet Valve Switch to the AUTO position.
17. Close the Inlet Evacuation Valve.
18. Close the Outlet Evacuation Valve.
19. Disconnect the hose installation from the Outlet Evacuation Valve to the Inlet
Evacuation Valve.
20. Disconnect the receiving container from the machine.
A method of capping the receiving container ports should be used to guard against loss in
the event of shut off valve leakage or failure.
Refer to the installation section-IV.F: Receiver Storage Container to connect a
new empty container to the machine.
