1. Safety Information
WARNING:
- Always wear approved laser safety goggles (OD 7+ at operating wavelength) when handling gas cylinders.
- Never expose gas cylinders to temperatures exceeding 50°C or direct sunlight.
- Ensure proper ventilation – minimum 4 air changes per hour in storage areas.
2. System Overview
The LLASERGAS 12944-E is a precision gas supply system designed for industrial laser applications with these key specifications:
- Gas Compatibility: Ar/CO₂/N₂/H₂/He mixtures (99.999% purity)
- Pressure Range: 0-300 psi (20.7 bar) regulated output
- Flow Capacity: 0.5-30 LPM continuous flow
- Connections: CGA 580 inlet, VCR outlet fittings
3. Installation Procedure
- Cylinder Mounting:
- Secure cylinder to wall bracket using provided chain (max 45° tilt)
- Verify O-ring integrity before connecting
- System Connection:
a. Purge all lines with inert gas b. Torque fittings to 25 ft-lbs (34 Nm) c. Leak check with 100 psi He (≤1x10⁻⁹ cc/sec)
4. Operation Guide
Startup Sequence:
- Open main valve slowly (1/4 turn every 5 seconds)
- Set regulator to desired pressure
- Verify flow rate using integrated meter
Shutdown Protocol:
- Close laser supply valve first
- Depressurize system via bleed port
