1.4 Product Description
Lifeline automatic changeover manifold system
is designed to provide a reliable, uninterrupted
supply of gas to a hospital or other medical
facility. A typical manifold system consists of a
manifold control panel with two banks of liquid
containers and a separate high-pressure reserve
header assembly.
The manifold control panel utilizes multiple liquid
containers divided into two equal banks and is
often referred to as “liquid x liquid” or “LQ x LQ”.
One bank is designated as the “Primary” source
of gas while other bank stands in reserve as the
“Secondary” source.
The manifold control module is connected to an
external high pressure reserve header assembly
consisting of multiple high-pressure cylinders.
Lights on the front of the manifold control module
indicate the status of gas supply. Each manifold
bank has a green (IN USE), green (READY), and red
(EMPTY) light, a yellow (RESERVE IN USE) and red
(RESERVE LOW) light also located on the manifold.
When the manifold’s primary bank of liquid
containersisdepleted,thesystemwillautomatically
switch to the secondary bank of liquid cylinders.
When the liquid containers are replenished, the
manifold will automatically switch back to the
primary (left) bank. If the primary bank of liquid
containers and the secondary bank of liquid
cylinders are depleted, the manifold system will
automatically switch to the external high-pressure
reserve header assembly.
Normally-closed dry switch contacts are supplied
for each alarm condition listed below. Switch
contacts are typically wired to the external master
alarm panels and will open when an alarm
condition occurs.

• Reserve In Use
• Reserve Low

Product Description (Cont.)
A power supply converts 100-250 VAC to 24 VDC
to power the manifold. Two sets of dry normally
closed alarm contacts can be accessed inside the
manifold control module.
The Lifeline manifold is designed in accordance
with the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) 99 and International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) 7396-1.
1.5 Environmental Considerations
Manifolds are to be installed in accordance with
requirements stated by NFPA 99, ISO 7396-1, CGA
and all applicable local codes.
The BeaconMedaes Lifeline manifold has been
environmentally tested to MIL STD 810F. The
power supply and control board is fully contained
inside a NEMA 4 enclosure, allowing for outdoor
installations. The manifold can be used in high
humidity conditions and was successfully tested
at 86°F (30°C) - 140°F (60°C) with 95% relative
humidity, per MIL STD 810F.
The power supply and electrical components have
a pollution degree 1 classification. The manifold
components will be used in a pollution degree 4
environment.
The manifold components are designed to work
best over a temperature range of 0° F (-18° C)
through 130° F (54° C). Wider temperature
variations may cause manifold malfunctions to
occur. The manifold is designed to be used below
2,000 meters, for higher elevations contact the
factory.
Installinganitrousoxideorcarbondioxidemanifold
and high-pressure reserve header assembly in a
location that exposes it to ambient temperatures
below 32° F (0° C) is not recommended.

1.6 Environmental Declarations
Disposal
General
When developing products and services,
BeaconMedæs tries to understand, address, and
minimize the negative environmental eects that
the products and services may have, when being
manufactured, distributed, and used, as well as at
their disposal.
Recycling and disposal policies are part of the
development of all BeaconMedæs products.
BeaconMedæs company standards determine
strict requirements.
When selecting materials the substancial
recycability, the disassembly possibilities and the
separability of the materials and assemblies are
considered as well as the environmental perils
and dangers to health during the recycling and
disposal of the unavoidable rates of non-recycable
materials.
BeaconMedæs products for the most part consist
of metallic materials that can be remelted in
steelworks and smelting works and that is therefore
almost infinitely recyclable. The plastic use is
labeled; sorting and fractioning of the materials
for recycling in the future is foreseen.

2.1 Precautions
WARNING:
• Tampering with gas specific connections
shall be prohibited. Do not alter, remove or
modify gas specific connections.
• Keep all manifold parts, tools and work
surfaces free of oil, grease and dirt. These and
other flammable materials may ignite when
exposed to high pressure oxygen or nitrous
oxide.
• Do not use chemicals, lubricants or sealants
unless specified in these instructions.
• Before connecting cylinder to manifold,
momentarily open and close cylinder valve
to blow out dirt and debris.
• After connecting cylinder to manifold, open
cylinder valve s-l-o-w-l-y to allow heat of
compression to dissipate.
• Do not use flame or “sni” tests for leaks.
• Do not apply heat to any part of the manifold
system.
• Always secure high-pressure cylinders
with racks, straps, or chains. Unrestrained
cylinders may fall over and damage or break
o cylinder valve.
• Do not repeatedly bend, sharply bend, or
twist copper pigtails as damage to tubing
may occur.
• Do not bend flexible pigtails into a radius
smaller than 3”.
• After manifold wall bracket has been
mounted, one person alone should not
attempt to lift and hang the manifold cabinet.
• Do not put manifold into operation until
verified by a qualified person per NFPA 99 or
ISO 7396-1
2.2 Manifold System Components

WARNING:
• All pigtail assemblies are shipped in sealed
bags and are cleaned as if for oxygen use.
Manifold control panel and reserve header
connections are clean and capped. Do not
unpackage or remove any cap until ready
to install. During installation use care to
maintain cleanliness.
• Do not connect 72” black flex pigtail to high
pressure reserve header assembly. This type
of pigtail must only be connected between
manifold control panel and liquid containers.
• Do not repeatedly bend, sharply bend, or
twist copper pigtails as damage to tubing
may occur.
• Do not bend high-pressure flexible pigtails
into a radius smaller than 3”.
• Always secure high-pressure cylinders
with racks, straps, or chains. Unrestrained
cylinders may fall over and damage or break
o cylinder valve.
CAUTION:
• Do not use thread sealant on header or
pigtail connections.
• Prior to connecting pigtail to cylinder, slightly
open and close each cylinder valve to blow
out dirt and debris.
NOTE:
Both ends of flexible pigtails are the same. Either
end may be connected to manifold header.
Rigid copper pigtails on oxygen manifolds are
pre-formed and must be connected as shown in
Figure 14.
2. Connect one end of pigtail assembly to
reserve header connection. Coiled end of rigid
copper pigtails attaches to reserve header
connection.
3. Position gas cylinders as shown in Figures 13
and 14. Secure each cylinder to wall or floor
stand with chains or straps.
4. Connect pigtails to each cylinder. Rigid
copper pigtails used on oxygen systems are
pre-formed to approximate required shape.
Lower end of rigid copper pigtails must be
bent 90° toward cylinder outlets.
5. Tighten all pigtail connections firmly. Do not
over-tighten.
2.11 Pigtail/Cylinder Connection
72” black flex pigtails are connected between
manifold control panel and liquid containers
(Figure 12). Remove plastic shipping caps from
manifold control panel inlets. Connect either end
of 72” black flex pigtail to manifold inlet. Connect
other end of pigtail to gas outlet of liquid container.
All high-pressure reserve header assemblies other
than oxygen utilize 24” length flexible stainless-
steel braided pigtails. Figure 13 illustrates a typical
5 cylinder high-pressure reserve header assembly
utilizing flexible pigtails.
Oxygen high-pressure reserve header assemblies
are supplied with pre-formed rigid copper pigtails.
Figure 14 illustrates a typical 5 cylinder high-
pressure reserve header assembly utilizing pre-
formed rigid copper pigtails.
To install high-pressure reserve header pigtails:
1. Remove plastic shipping caps from reserve
header pigtail connections.
