To prevent damage:
• Open the cylinder valves slowly.
• Do not force the flow controls.
If your system does not use cylinder supplies, do not do steps 2 and 3.
1.
Disconnect the pipeline supplies and close all cylinder valves.
If the pipeline and the cylinder pressure gauges are not at zero:
•Connect an O
2
supply.
•Turn On the system, if it is not already on.
•Set the flow controls to mid range.
•Make sure that all gauges but O
2
go to zero.
•Disconnect the O
2
supply.
•Make sure that the O
2
gauge goes to zero. As pressure decreases,
alarms for low O
2
supply pressure should occur.
2.
Make sure that the cylinders are full:
•Open each cylinder valve.
•Make sure that each cylinder has sufficient pressure. If not, close the
applicable cylinder valve and install a full cylinder.
3.
Test one cylinder at a time for high-pressure leaks:
•Set the system switch to Standby, which stops the O
2
flow.
•Disconnect all accessories from the pneumatic outlets.
•Turn Off the auxiliary O
2
flowmeter.
•Open the cylinder.
•Record the cylinder pressure.
