INSTALLATIONMULTIVAP 118
Location
The MULTIVAP Evaporator System should be located on a bench top or in a chemical
fume hood if hazardous or flammable materials and solvents are to be used. The location
should provide the necessary support services for the instrument. These include electrical
power (required for water bath) and a clean inert gas source (Air or Nitrogen). Please review
the Specifications Section for further information.
Dry Bath Setup
1. Position the bath on a stable flat surface such as a lab bench or in a chemical fume
hood.
2. Turn the bath rocker switch to the “OFF” position.
3. Turn the heat switch to the center “OFF” position.
4. Plug the bath electrical cord into a 3 wire grounded electrical outlet rated for 110-120
VAC, 50-60 Hz, single phase, 15 amps.
Optional 220 VAC baths are clearly marked and should be plugged into a 3 wire
grounded electrical outlet rated for 220-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, single phase, 15 amps.
5. GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) is an optional safety device which may be
present. For 110-120 VAC baths, the GFCI plugs into the wall outlet and the plug at
the end of the power cord plugs into the GFCI. For 220-240 VAC baths, this item is
located inline on the power cord approximately 12 inches behind the plug. Please
proceed to the next step if your bath does not have this item installed.
A. After the power cord has been plugged in, depress the “RESET” button on the
GFCI to activate the unit.
NOTE: Any time the electrical power to the outlet is disrupted, the GFCI must
be reset.
B. The GFCI may be tested by simulating a “fault” condition. Depress the “TEST’
button. The GFCI will detect the failure and trip off. Depress the “RESET”
button to re-energize the GFCI.
C. If you encounter difficulty using the GFCI or the GFCI continually trips off
during bath use, please review the troubleshooting section or call the
Organomation Technical Department for assistance.

6. Type-Z Purge Intrinsically Safe Bath option - If you do not have this option, please
proceed to the next section. Procedures for operating this system may be found in the
Operation Section. Quick start instructions are posted on the front of the bath. A copy
of the NFPA (National Fire Protection Assoc.) guidelines for intrinsically safe equip-
ment are in the appendix. Please refer to Figure 3 below for parts list and installation.
A. Install the Type Z Purge Gauge Assembly to the rear of the bath as shown. The
bracket attaches to the rear of the bath and is held in place by a 6-32 x 1/4” screw
on the shoulder spacer and by a 1/4” bulkhead hex nut on the gas inlet fitting.
B. Connect the small white silicone tube attached to the gauge to the gas inlet fitting
using the compression nut provided.
C. Attach the filter with 5 foot tube to the plastic elbow fitting located at the base of
the bath. Insert the filter into the fitting and tighten the nut. Connect the tube to
a clean gas source.
D. Test the system by turning on the gas flow to the Z Purge System. Adjust the
gas flow until the gauge reads 0.1 inches water pressure.
WARNING - If this unit is located in a hazardous area where volatile fumes are present,
the Z-Purge System must be activated for a minimum of 10 minutes prior
to activation of bath power. Please review the Safety and Operations
sections.

7. Flow meter Assembly - Provided with all N-EVAP Systems. If an OA-SYS bath was
purchased without an N-EVAP instrument, proceed to the next section. See figure 4
for parts identification and position.
A. Attach the flow meter and bracket to the top left rear corner of the Control Box
with the two 10/32 x 1/2” screws provided. The meter should be positioned
with the needle valve facing forward.
B. Connect the connector tube to the bulkhead fitting located on the left rear corner
of the control box.
C. Connect the 1/4” plastic tube from the control box to the lower fitting on the
flow meter.
D. Connect the Connector Tube to a clean gas source (Air or Nitrogen). Source
should be capable of being regulated down to 30 psig maximum. If source is in
excess of 30 psig, then Organomation part # NA0630 Pressure Reducing Regu
lator will be required.
8. Pressure Reducing Regulator is standard on all systems utilizing a side mounted control
box. This item is pre-installed onto the top of the control box immediately in front of
the flow meter. Adjustment range is 0 - 30 psig.
