To adjust the size of balloon to your individual preference it is necessary to inflate test balloons. adjustable regulator at the back of Dual Split-Second Sizer. This controls the speed of the inflation cycle. increment readouts on digital display(s) on Dual Split-Second Sizer. Important: To ensure consistent balloon sizing when using helium or nitrogen, it is necessary to check the size of the balloons every 1/3 of a cylinder of gas. If necessary, increase the size of the balloon by either increasing the size setting or the inlet pressure.

Auto-Fill Foil Outlet Instructions
1. The Dual Split-Second Sizer includes a quick disconnect port located on the back of the unit. The Auto-Fill Foil Outlet will easily snap into place when pushed into the port.
2. Place the foil balloon over the inflating outlet. Pinch the neck of he balloon between thumb and forefinger and press down on the
t outlet. Support the foil balloon in an upright position to insure the neck of the balloon does not fold over the outlet and restrict the flow of helium. When the balloon has reached the proper pressure the inflator will automatically shut off the helium flow.
Remove the balloon from the outlet and attach a ribbon and a balloon weight.

Air Compressor Recommendations
Most air compressors are factory set to automatically cycle on at 90 PSI and automatically cycle off at 120 PSI. The Dual Split-Second Sizer must have a steady supply of air or gas to produce equal size balloons. For accurate sizing, it is essential to work within the limits of the cubic foot per minute capacity of the air compressor.
Air Compressor Required Specifications
• Primary Moisture Filter
• 20 Gallon Storage Tank
• Cycle Pressure: 90 PSI On - 120 PSI Off
• Compressed Air Availability: 6.5 Cubic Foot/Minute @ 90 PSI
Important Guidelines When Using an Air Compressor
• Compressor must build up the tank pressure before inflating balloons.
• The output setting on the air compressor should not exceed 80 PSI. If the compressor is set higher than 80 PSI, the Dual Split-Second Sizer will out-perform the compressor’s storage tank capacity.
• After each job, blow down the compressor to remove water collected i
n the tank during compression. The Dual Sizer will require factory
r
ework and recalibration if moisture enters its system.
Power surges will affect the Dual Split-Second Sizer accuracy - line voltage
m
ust be steady at 120 volts.
Shutting Down the Dual Split-Second Sizer
1. Close the cylinder valve and turn the air compressor off.
2. Press down the foot pedal to cycle the system until all the pressure has been released from the unit.
3. Disconnect the supply hose from the back of the sizer. Remove regulator from the cylinder.
4. Unscrew the inflating outlets and place them in the compartment located in the lid of the carrying case.
5. Pack the Dual Sizer, supply hose, power cord, and regulator in carrying case.
