Preface
Scope
These instructions describe the installation, opera-
tion and maintenance of Parr Series 5400 Tubular
Reactor System. They cover the basic steps to be
followed installing these reactors and describe
the function of all standard components. They are
intended to be used in conjunction with several
related instruction sheets listed in the following sec-
tion. This information describes several components
which are common to most Parr pressure reaction
equipment and includes safety precautions and
other related information applicable to all reaction
laboratories. The users should study all of these
instructions carefully before starting to use these
vessels so that they will fully understand the capa-
bilities and limitations of the equipment.

Safety Information
To avoid electrical shock, always:
1. Use a properly grounded electrical outlet of
correct voltage and current handling capability.
2. Ensure that the equipment is connected to
electrical service according to local national
electrical codes. Failure to properly connect may
create a fire or shock hazard.
3. For continued protection against possible
hazard, replace fuses with same type and rating
of fuse.
4. Disconnect from the power supply before
maintenance or servicing.
To avoid personal injury:
5. Do not use in the presence of flammable or
combustible materials; fire or explosion may
result. This device contains components which
may ignite such material.
6. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
General Specifications
Electrical Ratings
Controller ratings are found in the Operating Instruc-
tions for the controller supplied with your reactor
and on the controller data plate.
Before connecting a controller to an electrical outlet,
the user must be certain that the electrical outlet has
an earth ground connection and that the line, load
and other characteristics of the installation do not
exceed the following limits:
Voltage: Fluctuations in the line voltage should not
exceed 10% of the rated nominal voltage shown on
the data plate.
Frequency: Controllers can be operated from either
a 50 or 60 Hertz power supply without affecting their
operation or calibration.
Current: The total current drawn should not exceed
the rating shown on the data plate on the controller
by more than 10 percent.
