| − | ==Information==
| |
| − | The airlock is a powered door with separate power and data ports which can withstand a pressure difference of 1MPA. The Airlock has a keypad on both sides on the door which you can click on to open/close the door, when the door has power. The indicating lights will turn Red if the door is locked, green if the door is unlocked. As long as the door is unlocked it can be manually operated using a Crowbar, regardless of power state, and it can always be removed using a drill.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The airlock can be automatically controlled by an airlock circuit card inside a console.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Basic Airlock Circuit Board==
| |
| − | The basic airlock circuit board will automatically operate the active vent to pump the room to vacuum when a stationeer is leaving to the external side, and will pressurize the room to 100kPa when re-entering. If there is any pressure on the external side it will slowly be pumped towards the internal side as the airlock is cycled. You must use an advanced airlock or use TWO basic airlocks external-external to properly function in a non-vacuum environment.
| |
| − | | |
| − | One Passive vent is optional to release pressure to the interior of your base. A closed pipe will function but can over-pressurize and burst if there is any atmosphere on the external side of the airlock.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Material requirements for the basic airlock are:
| |
| − | * 2 Airlock doors | |
| − | * 1 Console, 1 Airlock circuit board, 1 Sheet of glass, 1 Sensor Kit (gas sensor), and 1 Active Vent
| |
| − | * 1 data disc to setup the console
| |
| − | * 1 Passive vent (optional)
| |
| − | * 1 Indicator Light (optional)
| |
| − | * Enough pipes and wires to connect everything.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Advanced Airlock Circuit Board==
| |
| − | The advanced airlock circuit board adds an additional active vent to the configuration, and must be manually configured to desired internal and external pressure. It will automatically pump down the airlock towards the side that was last open, and will re-pressurize from the side that is going to be opened.
| |
| − | | |
| − | One passive vent connected to each Active Vent (2 total) is recommended to relieve pressure within the piping, but it not required.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Setting either pressure to 0 will skip the pressurizing and speed up the cycle time, but can result in large wind currents when the door opens. Using a kit Tank, or a large amount of pipe, can increase the available gas volume and speed up pressurizing.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Basic Build Process==
| |
| − | The general build process is as follows:
| |
| − | # Build frames and walls
| |
| − | # Place airlock doors with the wire connections facing inwards.
| |
| − | # Place console, active pressure vent and gas sensor (Sensor kit can have type adjusted with mouse wheel)
| |
| − | #* Attention: the airlock will open as soon as the square in which the sensor resides has no air, depending on placement the airlock may open prematurely and vent the air that is left. One sensor per square works best.
| |
| − | # After placing console, insert airlock circuit board and place glass on top (have glass in active hand)
| |
| − | # Wire all power and data lines together and connect them to an active power supply.
| |
| − | #* Both data and power wires for the airlocks will have to be connected.
| |
| − | # Connect pipes from active pressure vent through walls/frames to a passive pressure vent inside your base.
| |
| − | # Go to console (turn it on), put in the disk to start the configuration.
| |
| − | # '''Select the outer airlock door first''', it's lights will turn red, click again to deselect if you got the wrong door, then select all the other components that make up the airlock: Inner Door, Gas Pressure Sensor, Active Vent. You can also select an optional flashing light, and slave the console to (receive commands from) another airlock console. Slaving is useful for really long airlocks, or for remote control of the airlock.
| |
| − | # Remove the disk.
| |
| − | #* If there is an error the console screen will say so and the power light will flash yellow.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note that the airlock may get stuck during the 'pressurizing' phase if there is not enough gas to reach 100kPa inside the airlock, you may click the yellow "Cancel Pressurization" button on the console to skip this step. You can click the cancel button through the windows of the airlock, or drill out the airlock door, if there is no-one inside a stuck airlock.
| |
| − | | |
| − | On the instruction to pressurise the airlock will attempt to pull gas from the passive vent and pressurize the airlock to 100kpa.
