Installaon
Installaon of the Inlet & Outlet DISS Assemblies
Inlet and outlet DISS assemblies must be installed in accordance
with NFPA 99 or CSA Z7396.1. An internal nitrogen purge must be
used during the brazing operaon. The purge gas should ow away
from the DISS body. Brazing alloys per appropriate standards must
be used. Before brazing, wet rags must be wrapped around the tube
extensions next to the DISS body to prevent overheang and possible
damage to the DISS O-ring seals. Direct the ame away from the DISS
body. The DISS body temperature must not exceed 300°F to prevent
damaging the O-ring seals.
The system must be tested (per appropriate standards) to ensure
that no cross-connecons have been made.
The system must be tested (per appropriate standards) for leaks.
Note: Pressure in the system will increase or decrease with
temperature rise or fall.
Miss-connecon of the gases could lead to serious
or fatal injury to paents. Following installaon,
DISS connecons must be tested for cross-connecon (per appropriate
standards) to ensure that the intended services are correctly connected to
the appropriate service lines.
5. The center of the rough-in box should be 60” in height above
the nished oor. Fasten the back box to horizontal braces
installed between the studs so that the front edge of the rough
in box will be ush or slightly recessed with the nished wall
covering.
6. Before brazing, remove the plasc tube caps from the DISS
assembly (risers) copper extensions. DISS assemblies must be
installed in accordance with “Installaon of Inlet and Outlet
DISS Assemblies” above.
Sleep Lab Panel Installaon
1. Powerex Sleep Lab Panels may be plumbed in either direcon
– with the paent (use) side on the le or the right. This saves
the plumber me and money.
2. The rough-in (back box) is shipped with a cardboard dust cover
installed. You will need to remove the dust cover to install
the rough-in and perform the pressure test. The dust cover
should be re-installed aer the pressure test to protect the
DISS connecons unl the wall covering (drywall, paint etc.)
is complete.
3. The DISS risers are shipped loose and must be installed in the
back box.
4. Adjustable depth mounng anges (top & boom) should be
ulized to align front edge of box to be ush with the drywall
surface.

7. The system must be tested (per appropriate standards) to
ensure that no cross-connecons have been made. The
system must be tested (per appropriate standards) for leaks.
Note: Pressure in the system will increase or decrease with
temperature rise or fall.
8. Aer the system passes the leak test, install the labels provided
in the back box paying careful aenon to the direcon of the
gas ow (le to right, or right to le). The direcon of ow
aects where you place Inlet and Outlet Labels in the back box.

9. Aer the wall covering is complete, the dust cover may be
removed from the rough-in box and the hose assemblies and
front panel may be installed.
10. Make sure the hose assemblies are aached to the
appropriate inlet/ow meter connecon point, and
outlet/ow meter connecon point. Failing to do so
may aect the paent and the sleep lab test results.
Note: Sleep Lab Panels may be plumbed in either direcon –
with the paent (use) side on le or the right.

11. When all connecons are complete and leak tested with an
oxygen compable leak test soluon, fasten the sleep lab front
panel to the back box with the four #8-32 x ¾” screws provided.
12. On the front panel, label each owmeter in the space provided
with the sleep room it controls (label not provided). See
Appendix A.

Miss-connecon of the gases could lead to serious
or fatal injury to paents. Following installaon,
DISS connecons must be tested for cross-connecon (per appropriate
standards) to ensure that the intended services are correctly connected to
the appropriate service lines.
Make certain the labeling coincides with the gas
service, and areas controlled by the Sleep Lab
Panel and that it is easily read.
Maintenance
1. Clean the exterior of the stainless steel Sleep Lab Panel with a
glass cleaner. Strong solvents will damage the etched screened
prinng on the sleep lab panel.
2. Never use glass cleaner on the owmeters.
3. If it is necessary to clean the owmeters wipe them clean with
a cloth dampened with water
4. Wipe dry with a clean dry cloth.
Flowmeters
Accuracy: ± 10% of the indicated ow.
Operang Temperature: 69°F (20.6°C) to 71F° (21.6° C)
Storage Temperature: -40°F (40°C) to 140°F (60° C)
Max Humidity: 95 %
Note: Storage / Transport outside the specied range may cause
damage to the ow meter.
Specicaons are subject to change without noce.
Operang Instrucons
Note: Tri-Tech Medical, Inc. recommends the use of kink proof
paent tubing.
1. Be sure Dial Flowmeter is in the “OFF” posion.
2. Connect the Dial Flowmeter to a 50 psi (3.4 bar) Oxygen Source.
3. Set the ow by aligning the Indicang Pointer ▼to the desired
ow.
Note: The accuracy of ow will be adversely aected by any variaon
of inlet pressure, ambient temperature or outlet resistance from
rated values.
Read this user manual before installing or
operang the Dial Flowmeter.
There is NO FLOW between sengs. The Indicang Pointer ▼ must point
to a specic number on the dial to obtain ow.
ONLY use appropriate indexed ngs to connect
the Dial Flowmeter to appropriate source. Use
Oxygen connecons for oxygen owmeters and use Air connecons for Air
owmeters.
Cleaning/Maintenance
1. Disconnect all connecons before cleaning.
2. Clean exterior surfaces of the Dial Flowmeter with a cloth
dampened with water.
3. Wipe dry with a clean cloth.
4. Store the Dial Flowmeter in a clean area free from grease, oil
and other sources of contaminaon.
DO NOT immerse the Dial Flowmeter in any kind
of liquid. This will cause damage to the Dial
Flowmeter and will void the warranty.
This Dial Flowmeter is not eld serviceable.
