Western Innovator LA manifolds are designed for applications using cryogenic cylinders as a primary gas source, but usage is insufficient to warrant liquid as a reserve. This LA series manifold will automatically switch over from service to reserve bank without any interruption of service. Line pressure will remain constant within a variation of ± 2% throughout the changeover cycle. An alarm can be added to signal changeover from service to reserve banks by adding items: WME-4-9 pressure switch, WMS-1-97 orificed adaptor, WMS-9-25C power supply box and BIA-3 remote audio visual alarm.
