If the user employs an operating procedure, item of equipment or a method of working which is not specifi cally recommended by Parker the user must ensure that the equipment will not be damaged or become hazardous to persons or property.
MARKINGS AND SYMBOLS Th e following markings and international symbols are used on the equipment or within this user guide: Caution, Read the User Guide. Wear ear protection. Risk of electric shock. Pressurised components on the system. Highlights actions or procedures which, if not Remote control.
½ ” 3-Way Ball Valve If there are an signs of damage to the crate, or there are any parts missing please inform the delivery company immediately and contact your local Parker offi ce. STORAGE Th e 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 specifi ed in the technical specifi cation, it should be moved to its fi nal location (installation site) and left to stabilise prior to unpacking.

UNPACKING Remove the lid and all four sides of the packing crate (01) and unscrew the 4x transit bolts securing the generator to the base of the crate(02). Lift the generator from the pallet using suitable slings and an overhead crane (03). Carefully move the generator to its fi nal location, using a forklift truck or pallet truck, and refi t the silencer (04).

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION Fit one of the ½ ˝ball valves supplied to the compressed air inlet port on the generator and attach the compressed air supply to this ball valve. Ensure that the valve is in the closed position. Fit another of the ½ ˝ball valves supplied to the port marked “To Buff er vessel” . Install ½ ” NB / 16mm ID piping between the ball valve and the buff er vessel inlet port.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION A fully qualifi ed electrical engineer must undertake all fi eld wiring and electrical work in accordance with local regulations. Warning 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.
Page 18
DRYER SUPPLY If a Parker pre-treatment air dryer is used, it should be connected to the generator at the dedicated DIN rail terminals. Refer to the documentation provided with your dryer for additional information on installation requirements.

ALARM CONTACTS Th e generator is fi tted with a set of volt free relay contacts designed for connection to a remote alarm circuit. Th e contacts are rated 1A max @ 250 Vac (1A @ 30Vdc). Under normal operation the relay is energised, when a fault occurs the relay will de-energise causing the relay contacts to change state.

CUSTOMER SETTINGS To prevent unauthorised access to the confi gurable parameters, the customers setting menu has optional password protection. Th is is disabled by default and can be enabled in menu 3.1 To gain access in to this menu, when password has been enabled: Press and hold both the keys for approximately 5 seconds until the menu changes to the password prompt as shown.
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. Th e economy mode can be disabled within the customer settings menu, however Parker strongly recommend that this option remains enabled.
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. SERVICE INTERVALS Description of Service Required Service Recommended Every:...
EXHAUST SILENCER REPLACEMENT Th e exhaust silencer is located under the inlet manifold assembly. Unscrew the element from the exhaust port (01) and discard (02). Fit the replacement element ensuring that it is fully engaged onto the pipe fi tting and secure it hand tight. OXYGEN CELL REPLACEMENT Unscrew the oxygen cell lead (01) and solenoid plugs (02) then remove the 4-20mA connections and move the lead to prevent obstruction.
Connect the O2 sample line between the elbow push in fi tting, located on the ball valve (3), and the O Analyser calibration port (1). If a sample line other than the one provided by Parker is used ensure that it is suitable rated for the working pressure of the generator.
ENTERING THE CALIBRATED LEVEL Navigate to menu 3.2 and press Using the keys enter the purity of the calibration gas. Press to send the calibration level to the O Analyser. On successful completion of the calibration the new O reading will be shown on the bottom line of the display. If the calibration is not successful the original reading from the analyser will be loaded.
FILTER DEPRESSURISATION Close the ball valves located on the inlet and outlet ports of the fi lter and depressurise it by opening the manual drain on the fi lter bowl (01). Caution 0 bar / 0 psi FILTER BOWL REMOVAL Unscrew the fi lter bowl (01 &...
INSERTION OF REPLACEMENT OF FILTER REPLACEMENT ELEMENT HEAD O RING INTO FILTER BOWL Replace the O-ring located in the fi lter head with the new O-ring provided. Insert the new element into the fi lter bowl ensuring that the lugs are seated correctly in the grooves. Ensure to lubricate the O-ring and threads with a suitable acid free Petroleum jelly.

DESCRIPTION Th e N Compact 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. Dual chamber columns, fi lled with extruded beads of adsorbent (Carbon Molecular Sieve [CMS]) material, are joined via an upper and lower manifold to produce a two bed system.
