3.
Using an adjustable wrench, tighten the Swagelok nut one turn past hand
tight to swage the ferrules onto the tubing. Once the ferrules have been
swaged, the fitting only requires slight tightening upon reassembly.
4.
Connect the other end of the tube to your air supply.
5.
Turn on the air at the source. The incoming pressure must be regulated at
345-414 kPa (50-60 psi).
Connecting the Power
To connect the power supply, follow these instructions:
1.
Plug the supplied power cable into the AC power socket on the back
panel of the nebulizer.
Plug the cord into an earth-grounded AC power source (100 to 240 VAC, 50
to 60 Hz, 0.6 A).
Warning:
Ensure that the ground is secure. Connection to an improperly
grounded electrical source is a severe shock hazard.
Connecting the Ultrapure Water Supply
Ultrapure water must be supplied to the nebulizer through a ¼-inch diameter
Teflon PFA tube specially adapted to fit the
UPW Inlet
fitting on the front
panel of the nebulizer. To prepare the PFA tube for attachment to the
UPW
Inlet
fitting, take the following precautions:
▪
Make sure your hands are clean.
▪
Do not touch the end of the water supply tube - you may contaminate
it.
To connect the ultrapure water supply, follow these instructions:
1.
Cut the end of the PFA tubing evenly with a clean tube cutter.
2.
Place a Flaretek nut over the end of the PFA tube before attempting to
flare the end.
3.
Flare the tube (see instructions on page 12).
4.
Flush ultrapure water through the tube for several minutes to remove any
debris created by the flaring process.
