Facility requirements I:

• Power supply:
  Handler: 120V / 13A / 60Hz (Nema 5-15r or 5-20r receptacle)
  Electric Chiller: 120V / 19A / 60Hz (Nema 5-20r receptacle)
  * Separate 20 Amp circuit needed for E-chiller.
  * Chiller requires Nema 5-20R wall receptacle.
• Compressed Air:
  1⁄4 Inch NPT Male threaded quick connect fitting supplied by customer (or alternative 1⁄4 Inch NPT male fitting)
  *Also need female fitting on supply line Minimum 6 bar (87 psi) / Maximum 14 bar (203 psi)
  Maximum Consumption:
  • 50Nl/min during hot test
  • 170Nl/min during LN2 cold test *including chamber purge 
  Must be clean, dry, oil-free air (CDA)
  *Please ensure the dew point of the supply air is -60°C (-76°F) if cold testing will be performed or icing will occur.

Facility requirements II:

• Vacuum Supply:
  1⁄4 Inch NPT Female quick connect fitting supplied by customer (or alternative 1⁄4 Inch NPT female)
  *Also need male fitting on supply line
