2.0 Operation
2.1 Pressure Cylinder Filling
To initially fill or refill the internal pressure cylinder (3000 PSI max.) of the Source 3000, see Figure 2-1 below
and proceed as described below.
NOTE: The pressure cylinder used as the filling source must be regulated to provide a maximum output of 3049 PSIG.
1. Rotate the PRESSURE LIMIT CONTROL (1) counter-clockwise until it stops. Close the COARSE
ADJUSTMENT valve (2) by rotating clockwise until it stops.
2. Connect the fill hose (3), supplied by customer, to a clean regulated nitrogen source (5).
3. Connect the other end of the fill hose (3) supplied by customer, to the male fill port fitting (4). Use
supplied AN to 1/8 male NPT adapter fitting, (PNs 59839 and 59708) and cheat seal pad (PN 54854)
between fill hose & fill port.
4. Slowly open the valve on the nitrogen source and allow the gas to flow into the pressure cylinder. NOTE:
Inlet check valve could be damaged if pressure is released too fast. The SUPPLY PRESSURE gage (6)
indicates the amount of pressure within the internal cylinder. Use the following procedure for filling the
cylinder:
a) Fill cylinder to 1000 PSI at a rate of charge equal to a minimum of two minutes, then wait five minutes
for system to stabilize.
b) Fill cylinder from 1000 PSI to 2000 PSI at a rate of charge equal to a minimum of two minutes, then
wait five minutes for system to stabilize.
c) Fill cylinder from 2000 PSI to 3000 PSI at a rate of charge equal to a minimum of two minutes. Wait
five minutes for system to stabilize before using.
