If the user employs an operating procedure, item of equipment or a method of working which is not specifically recommended by Parker domnick hunter the user must ensure that the equipment will not be damaged or become hazardous to persons or property.
Responsible Body - individuals or group responsible for the safe use and maintenance of equipment. Access into the internal compartment of the generator is restricted to key holders only. Service Personnel - individuals or group that have been trained, or are qualified and approved, by Parker domnick hunter to perform installation, commissioning, service and repair procedures.
1.2.1 Generator Model Number Identification The model number can be found on the rating plate as illustrated. Model No: Model Technology P = Pressure Swing Adsorption O2 Purity X = Ultra High Purity (10 ppm) A = High Purity (50 - 1000ppm) B = Low Purity (0.5 - 5%) Flow L = Low Flow...
2 Description The NITROSource PSA range of nitrogen generators operate on the Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) principle to produce a continuous stream of nitrogen gas from clean dry compressed air. Pairs of dual chamber extruded aluminium columns, filled with Carbon Molecular Sieve (CMS), are joined via an upper and lower manifold to produce a two bed system.

1” BSPP ball valve (Compressed Air Inlet) If there are any signs of damage to the crate, or there are any parts missing please inform the delivery company immediately and contact your local Parker domnick hunter office. 2.5.1 Storage The equipment should be stored, within the packing crate, in a clean dry environment. If the crate is stored in an area where the environmental conditions fall outside of those specified in the technical specification, it should be moved to its final location (installation site) and left to stabilise prior to unpacking.
The system must be protected with a suitably rated thermal pressure relief valve upstream of the generator. 3.1.1 Compressed air pre-treatment To achieve the maximum performance, reliability and service life, Parker domnick hunter strongly recommend the use of a Parker domnick hunter desiccant dryer based pre-treatment package.
In each cubic metre of compressed air, not more than 0.1 mg of oil is allowed. Note. This is the combined level for aerosol, liquid and vapour. ISO 8573-1:2010 Class 2.2.2 can be achieved with the following combination of Parker purification products: • General Purpose filter Grade AO •...
3.3 Mechanical Installation 3.3.1 General Requirements The system must be protected with a suitably rated thermal pressure relief valve upstream of the generator. Please familiarise yourself with the local regulations before considering any pipe-work installation as standards and specifications for pipe-work systems can vary greatly from country to country.
3.3.2 Securing the Generator The generator MUST be fixed in position using suitable M20x40mm Rawl bolts (or equivalent). Mounting holes are provided in the feet of the generator. 3.3.3 Making the Connections Refer to the “Recommended System Component Layout” on page 11 for the desired system configuration.
3.4 Electrical Installation A fully qualified electrical engineer must undertake all field wiring and electrical work in accordance with local regulations. 3.5 General Requirements In order to maintain the IP rating of the generator, all cables entering the electrical enclosure must do so through the dedicated cable glands located on the side of the generator.
Earth conductor TB1 - If a Parker domnick hunter pre-treatment air dryer is used, it should be connected to the generator at the dedicated DIN rail terminals. Refer the documentation provided with your dryer for additional information on installation requirements.
3.6.6 4–20mA Analogue Output Terminals Description Cable size Positive Analyser - #6 3 - 7mm Negative Analyser - #7 The oxygen content detected by the generators internal analyser may be re-transmitted to external peripherals using the 4-20mA linear analogue output. The output is a linear current source, with 10 bit resolution, which increases from 4mA (Zero Oxygen) to 20mA (Full Scale Deflection). The FSD of the internal analyser is factory set to a default value of twice the generators specified purity.

4.3 Stopping the generator Close the ball valve on the N2 Outlet port. Press to initiate the shutting down sequence. O2 = 5.00% O2 = 5.00% Shutting Down Shutting Down The generator will complete the current cycle and then exhaust both beds. This may take several minutes particularly on ppm generators.
4.4.1 Hour Meters There are four hour meters available for viewing: Hours run Hours run The time in hours that the generator has been producing gas. 5234h 5234h Service due at Service due at The time in operating hours that the generator can produce gas before a service is required. 8000h 8000h Hours economy...

Sets the purity level at which an oxygen fault is initiated. Default Settings: Oxygen alarm Oxygen alarm % Generators - 0.05% above the selected production purity. level level =15ppm =15ppm ppm Generators - 5ppm above the selected production purity. If the purity level exceeds the oxygen alarm level for a period longer than the alarm delay, the oxygen alarm will be activated and the gas will be vented to atmosphere.
If the generator is in economy shutdown when the pressure falls it will complete the cycle and then run through the a clean up cycle prior to going back online.. The economy mode can be disabled within the customer settings menu, however Parker domnick hunter strongly recommend that this option remains enabled.
4.8 Oxygen Sensor Calibrationn The following procedure must be carried only be performed by a Responsible Body or Service Personnel only. Operators should not perform this operation. Hot surfaces and hazardous live voltages. Take care when performing the following calibration procedure as there are hazardous live voltages and potentially hot surfaces within the enclosure.
5 Preventative Maintenance 5.1 Cleaning Clean the equipment with a damp cloth only and avoid excessive moisture around any electrical sockets. If required you may use a mild detergent, however do not use abrasives or solvents as they may damage the warning labels on the equipment. 5.2 Maintenance Schedule Description Of Service Required Service Recommended Every:...
5.3 Preventative Maintenance Kits The following preventative maintenance kits must be installed by service personnel only. 5.3.1 High Purity Generators (PPM) Generators without EST Functionality (Model Nos.

In the unlikely event that a problem occurs on the equipment, this troubleshooting guide can be used to identify the probable cause and remedy. Troubleshooting should only be attempted by competent personnel. All major repair, and calibration work should be undertaken by a Parker domnick hunter trained, qualified and approved engineer.
