SECTION 7:
CALIBRATION
2.4 Adjust O2 selection knob at 60% oxygen
and set air/oxygen pressures each at 50
PSIG.
2.5 Remove flowmeter adapter and flowmeter
from primary outlet of blender.
2.6 Disconnect flowmeter from primary
outlet, then connect flowmeter to auxiliary
outlet (i.e. right side outlet) on blender .
2.7 Adjust flowmeter to 0.5LPM and check
oxygen analyzer. Reading should be between
57.0%-63.0%.
2.8 Insert bleed test tube assembly into bleed port
at bottom of valve block, flow tube should read
2.5-3.5 LPM.
NOTE: Should blender not meet either
specification, 2.7 or 2.8, inspect bleed orifice in
auxiliary outlet or bleed orifice in valve block for
occlusion.
2.9 Increase air pressure from 50 PSIG (3.52
kg/cm²) to 60 PSIG (4.22 kg/cm²). O2% on
oxygen should read 57%-63%.
2.10 Lower air pressure from 60 PSIG (4.22
kg/cm²) to 40 PSIG (2.81 kg/cm²). O2% on
oxygen analyzer should read 57%-63%.
2.11Repeat steps 1.8 and 1.9 by increasing or
decreasing oxygen supply pressure.
2.12 Remove bleed test tube assembly from
bleed port.
3.0 ALARM CALIBRATION
The Alarm system is designed to sound an audible
tone if the inlet pressures are different by 20 PSI
(1.41 kg/cm²) or more, such as if either source gas
failed.
When the 120H/L High-Low Flow Blender is in
the alarm phase, the remaining or higher
pressure gas is routed to the blender outlet.
Some gas will also flow through the alarm reed
valve creating an audible tone.
3.1 Ensure air and oxygen regulators are
adjusted to a static 50 PSIG (3.52 kg/cm²),
align control knob indicator with 60%,
and ensure flowmeter is set to 15 LPM
3.2 Reduce air pressure until the audible alarm
sounds. The air pressure should read 30 ± 2 PSIG
(2.11 ± 0.14 kg/cm²).
If the alarm sounds above this pressure, rotate
adjuster clockwise, left side of blender, with a
1/8” Allen wrench until alarm sounds as 30 ± 2
PSIG (2.11 ± 0.14 kg/cm²).
If the alarm sounds below this pressure, rotate
adjuster counterclockwise, left side of blender,
with a 1/8” Allen wrench until alarm sounds at 30
± 2 PSIG (2.11 ± 0.14 kg/cm²).
3.3Raise air pressure slowly. Alarm bypass
should reset to normal function when pressure
reaches 44 PSIG (3.10 kg/cm²) or above.
3.4 Restore air pressure to 50 PSIG (3.52 kg/cm²)
and reduce oxygen pressure until the audible
alarm sounds. The oxygen pressure must be 30 ±
2 PSIG (2.11 ± 0.14 kg/cm²).
• If alarm sounds above this pressure, rotate
adjuster clockwise, right side of blender,
with a 1/8” Allen wrench until alarm
sounds at 30 ± 2 PSIG.
• If alarm sounds below this pressure, rotate
adjuster counterclockwise, right side of
blender, with a 1/8” Allen wrench until
alarm sounds at30 ± 2 PSIG (2.11 ± 0.14
kg/cm²).
