Maxum II Specifications, Continued 
Installation (continued) 
DC Power 
(optional) 
Modular Oven Configuration Only: 
24VDC +/-10%, 10A minimum, with 32V over voltage protection limit (from 
power source). 
Power must be regulated, with 100mV max, pk-pk, noise/ripple measured 
with 20MHZ bandwidth. 
The power must be limited to 20A by short circuit protection, fusing or 
circuit breaker. 
External 24V must be accepting of the negative terminal being grounded to 
earth potential. 
Instrument Air  50 psig (345kPa) minimum for units using Model 11 or Valco valves 
120 psig (828 kPa) minimum for units using Model 50 valves 
25 psig (173 kPa) minimum for air bath oven; 3 scfm (85 
liters/minute)/oven 
No instrument air for airless oven or modular oven heating (electronics 
compartment purge still required with airless oven). 
100 psig (690 kPa) minimum for units using Vortex tubes; 
at dewpoint -40°F (-40°C) 15 scfm (85 liters/minute) 
Configuration  Single unit with multiple compartments. Indoor mounting with protection 
from weather and corrosive or dirty atmosphere is strongly recommended 
to enhance life and improve maintainability. 
Carrier Gas  Cylinder nitrogen, helium, or argon at 99.998% purity, or hydrogen at 
99.999% purity depending on application 
Typical consumption – 180 scf/month/detector module (5100 
liters/month/detector module) 
Flame Fuel  Hydrogen at 99.999% purity with no more than 0.5 ppm total hydrocarbons 
Typical consumption – 70 scf/month/detector module 
(2000 liters/month/detector module) 
(Not applicable to Modular Oven) 
Flame Air  Zero grade air (< 1ppm THC, O
2
 content 20-21%). Supplied from 
instrument air with catalytic purifier (optional). Typical consumption – 900 
scf/month (26,000 liters/month) 
(Not applicable to Modular Oven) 
Corrosion Protection  Dry air purge to protect electronics (Airbath/Airless oven configurations 
only) 
Stainless steel oven protection 
Painted steel exterior (epoxy powder coat)
