SP-2000/X-Y AutoCam™ Pedestal - Vinten Radamec

SP-2000/X-YInstallation2. Connect the input hose and regulator to the nitrogen tank. Close the regulatorvalve fully. Close the purge valve on the manifold and turn the three Tvalves fully CCW.3. Remove the yellow dust caps from the three fill valves on the column.4. Install a 4” valve extension (packed separately) onto each fill valve.Tighten the extensions with a crescent wrench - but do not overtighten.5. Connect a fill hose to each valve extension. Use one crescent wrench tohold the valve extension steady and use a second crescent wrench to tightenthe fill hose fitting. Open each T valve by turning it fully clockwise.6. With the regulator fully closed (turn CCW), open the main valve on thenitrogen tank.7. Press and hold the Standby/Charge (yellow) button on the pedestal until thelight comes on and stays on.8. If you have an older pedestal with a Fill Switch as shown opposite, pressand hold the switch while the pedestal is being pressurized, until the pedestalis powered up in step 11. (In newer pedestals, a set of contacts on theStandy/Charge switch perform the function of the Fill Switch)9. Start increasing the pressure setting on the regulator (turn CW). At approximately900 psi (63 bar) you will hear a hissing sound indicating that thethree holding chambers are being filled. Keep the regulator set just highenough to keep the nitrogen flowing but no higher. Listen for leaks at thefittings, tighten as needed.10. Have an assistant pull up gently on the payload and column (with around20-30 lb. of force) from time to time. Make sure that you support and liftthe manifold and fill hoses as the column rises to avoid straining the valveextensions. Make sure that the hoses do not get caught as the column rises.Keep nitrogen flowing until the column starts rising on its own and thenimmediately close the regulator (turn CCW) to prevent overfilling.11. Close the main valve on the nitrogen tank completely.12. Be prepared for the column to go up and down during initialization. PressRun to power up the pedestal.User Manual 3-13
