■ How to use the air purge unit
zLS-9006D
To use LS-9006D’s air purge unit, prepare the following off-the-shelf items:
•PC6-M5 (PISCO fitting) (Recommended)
• Air tube (Outer diameter
φ6)
1 Attach the fitting on the air purge unit.
Recommended tightening torque: 1 to 1.5 N・m
If you use an L-shaped fitting, make sure that the threaded
portion will not become loose due to twisting of the tube.
2 Insert the air tube into the fitting.
It indicates additional information on proper operation.
Point
Mounting the Head
■ Mounting method
zUsing the top mounting holes
Secure the head by inserting the provided hexagon socket bolts (M6 x
L25) through the mounting holes on the base surface and tightening them.
Maximum tightening torque value
• LS-9006D: 5.2 N・m
• LS-9030D
zUsing the bottom mounting holes
Secure the head using the mounting holes located on the bottom panel of
the base (M6 12 mm deep).
Maximum tightening torque value
• LS-9006D: 5.2 N・m
• LS-9030D
: 5.2 N・m

LS-9030D mounting example
• Supply air flow rate:
20L/min to 40L/min
• Air pressure:
Approx. 60 kPa
The air pressure is measured before the air purge. The
pressure will vary depending on the point of measurement.
Be sure to check the performance based on the air flow.
• Be sure to use clean, dry air.
• The air purge performance and the measurement accuracy of
the sizer can be affected by the usage environment and/or the
condition of the air source. Determine the specifications for
the air source and the glass cleaning schedule in accordance
with the actual operating conditions.
When cleaning the receiver, remove the air purge unit that is secured
with four screws as shown below.
Maximum tightening torque for securing the unit: 1.5 N
