Chapter 3: Installing the VCode<br />
VCode <strong>User</strong> <strong>Guide</strong><br />
Connecting the air tubing: Europe<br />
Introduction<br />
This topic is for customers in Europe only. It explains how to connect the<br />
air tubing to the VCode.<br />
To make the VCode compatible with your lab’s air system, you will need<br />
to connect the VCode’s 1/4-inch air port to the supplied 6-mm air tubing.<br />
This topic describes how to make this connection.<br />
Warnings<br />
!! INJURY HAZARD !! Switch off the air supply before installing<br />
your VCode. When air is flowing you can be injured if the air tubing<br />
whips around and strikes you. If you have not been trained in the<br />
correct way to handle air tubing, contact your facilities department<br />
or the Velocity11 Service Center.<br />
!! DAMAGE HAZARD !! Make sure that the air coming into your<br />
VCode is dry and free of impurities, such as oil, which can shorten<br />
the VCode’s life. If you have any questions about air quality, contact<br />
Velocity11.<br />
Before you start<br />
Before you start, locate the Metric Fittings Kit that is packaged with the<br />
VCode’s Utility Kit.<br />
Connection<br />
assembly<br />
The Metric Fittings Kit contains an adapter. The following diagram shows<br />
how the adapter is connected to your VCode.<br />
Procedure<br />
The following procedure is used to set up a direct connection. If you<br />
have another instrument connected to the house air supply, you can use<br />
the supplied T-connector to connect into the existing air tubing.<br />
To connect the metric fittings adapter:<br />
1. Push one end of the nipple (white plastic tube) into the 1/4-inch<br />
side (red side) of the adapter.<br />
2. Push the other end of the nipple into the VCode’s air input port.<br />
3. Push the 6-mm tubing into the blue side of the adapter.<br />
!! DAMAGE HAZARD !! If you try to insert tubing that has a<br />
different diameter, you could damage the adapter.<br />
4. Gently pull on the air tubing to make sure that the assembly is<br />
connected properly.
