Section 1 Installation Instructions
1.1
Description
These instructions describe the installation of the Digital
MDM® mixer and a bag tee in a cabinet’s vertical
surface. This manual includes installation instructions
for an optional Matrx by Parker Scavenging System, as
well as an optional gas outlet station. Figure 1 illustrates
a typical installation.

IMPORTANT
A bag tee containing an air inlet valve is required
for use with this unit. The bag tee is provided
separately for remote mounting. A standard
Scavenging Nasal Inhaler or a set of rubber goods
provides the patient connection.
To reduce trac
e N2O in the operator’s environment,
it is strongly recommended, though not required,
that a Scavenging System be included with this
installation. The scavenging system removes
unwanted gases from the exhalation of the patient
and the room.
1.2
Planning
Planning is essential to the proper installation of the
equipment. Without proper planning, minor changes
can quickly become major problems. Read the entire
installation instructions before attempting any and every
installation.
WARNING
These instructions fully comply with the National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) guideline No.
99C; see the Introduction for details. All equipment
must be installed in accordance with these
guidelines, as well as all local codes and
ordinances
.
Matrx by Parker makes no warranty for cabinets
and equipment that have been installed improperly.
Planning should include the following:
1. The cabinet must be manufactured with the proper
materials.
The mounting brackets are designed for
mounting in wood, and wood and laminate,
approximately
3/4” thick.
Due to the nature of the mounting and the need
for equipment stability during use, plaster board
and other soft wall materials are not suitable.
2. Determine the location of the mixer head.
Typically, the mixer head is located at the
approximate eye level of a seated person.
Consult with the practitioner to determine the
desired location.
3. Determine the location of the bag tee.
The bag tee is either flush mounted in the
cabinet surface (hoses are not externally
visible), surface mounted to the cabinet surface,
or mounted to a bracket inside the cabinet.
If a scavenging system is to be installed, it is
mounted next to the bag tee.
The bag tee/scavenging control valve is supplied
assembled to the appropriate mounting
hardware.
Consult with the practitioner to determine the
desired location.
4. If necessary, determine the location of the gas
outlet station.
If the outlet station delivers only oxygen, it can
be located next to the mixer head. If this is the
case, the oxygen outlet is supplied assembled to
the mixer head bezel.
