Dear Valued Partners
Thank you for supporting APLEX Technology. Kindly note for ViTAM
series, the pressure testing screw is loosen for half turn before shipment.
The purpose is to avoid potential quality concerns caused by radical air
pressure change during transportation. This especially applies to air
shipment with unpressurized cabin.
Upon receiving the system, please tighten the pressure testing screw
before deployment to ensure 100% functionality.
Here is our suggestion:
1. Prepare a 3mm hex screwdriver
2. Tighten the screw (indicated in circle) clockwise until it is well in place
3. Recommend torque is 8~10 kgf-cm
Apologies for any inconveniences caused and thank you for your
cooperation.
Yours Sincerely
