Preparing the Instrument for use
Watch
the video
If you have a Model 600, 670, 1000, 1505D, 1505D-EXP,
you will need an external pressure source (Nitrogen Tank) to pressurize
the instrument. The instrument may be connected to a (large
non-portable) nitrogen cylinder for use in a laboratory. However,
a Portable Tank is helpful for use in the
field.
First step is to ensure your nitrogen tank is full. If you are
using a Portable Tank, it will need to be filled prior to making measurements.
If you have a Model 610, it has
an
internal portable tank.
You
just need to fill the tank with nitrogen
prior to making measurements..
If you have a Model 615 or Model 1515D, the removable tank is already
inside the self-contained
unit. You will need to fill the
tank with nitrogen prior to making measurements.
To hook up and operate any of the other pressure chambers listed
above, you must
have
the following 3 items:
1) Pressure Chamber Instrument
2) Portable Tank or Nurse Tank
3) 6 foot filling hose
Pressure Chamber Instrument, Portable Tank and Filling Hose.
First, connect the Filling Hose to the Portable Tank.
Next, connect the filling hose to the instrument.
You will need to push down on the outer ring of the quick connect
fitting to get
a proper connection
with the hose.
Pull gently on hose to ensure properly connected.
Your system should now look like this
You are now ready to make measurements
