1.0 INSTALLATION/OPERATION
Attach the BlenderBuddy 2 to the left side DISS port
of the air/oxygen blender using an 11/16" wrench.
NOTE: Low flow BlenderBuddy 2 mod-
els (3, 15 and 30 LPM) should only be
used with Low Flow blenders. High Flow
BlenderBuddy 2 models (70 LPM) should
only be used with High Flow blenders. Use
outside these applications may result in
flowmeter inaccuracies.
Align the flowmeter in an upright, vertical position with the blender and firmly tighten the
fitting.
NOTE: Ensure the fitting is completely tightened to prevent rotation during use.

WARNING: Follow all manufacturer instructions for proper blender bleed operation. A
blender bleed is typically required to maintain mixing accuracy for flows less than 3LPM on low
flow blenders and below 15LPM for high flow blenders. Failure to activate the blender bleed
may result in inaccurate concentrations from the blender.
Insert oxygen analyzer with sensor
diverter into the sensor port to measure
the delivered gas from the blender.
NOTE: Use the sensor diverter provided
with your BlenderBuddy 2 or genuine
Maxtec replacement.
NOTE: A small continuous sensor bleed is provided to the analysis port which enables gas
analysis regardless of which outlet port is used on the blender.
2.0 FLOWMETER OPERATION
Adjust the flowmeter to the desired set-point as read by the center of the float ball
To increase flow—turn knob counter-clockwise
•
To decrease flow—turn knob clockwise
•
WARNING: The flowmeter is capable of delivering flows greater than the indicated (flush
flow). Adjusting the flow beyond the indicated range will result in an undertermined flow.
