If the air cylinder is filled up to 300 bars (4350 psi), it will supply the base unit with enough air to perform 6 max pressure launches. Charged to 200 bars (2900 psi), you will have 4 max pressure launches.
For filling to 300 bars (4350 psi), simply connect the air cylinder to a standard scuba diving (breathing air) compressor with standard 5/8" threads according to DIN 477.
For filling from a 200-bar compressor, PLT1308 Yoke (DIN477) and claw adapter PLT1315 is needed to connect the Air cylinder and compressor.
It can be used again immediately after being refilled with compressed air. Since the PLT Launching Unit works on compressed air, it does not have an expiry date and is not considered as dangerous goods.
