Page 7: Introduction
Introduction The B200 Restrain Generator is used for the production and maintenance of a stable atmosphere of ethylene within a cold store. This prevents the potatoes from sprouting. During this process, the machine produces water in the form of vapour. -
Page 8: Intended Use
The maximum store size depends on the standard of construction, room air leakage, and the target level of %Restrain (the calculation in PPM ethylene concentration). The machine is intended for indoor use only. The maximum store size depends on the standard of construction, room air leakage, and the target level of ethylene concentration. -

• Make sure that the sensor does not come into contact with ethanol. These will permanently damage the sensor unit. • Forklift exhaust fumes can affect the sensor readings. Make sure that forklifts do not operate in the vicinity of the sensor unit. • CO levels will influence the ethylene readings. Restrain Description... -
Page 13: Programmes
The Slow start programme consists of a pre-programmed ethylene cycle that gradually increases the %Restrain level from 0.2 %Restrain (0.1 ppm ethylene) to 20 %Restrain (10 ppm ethylene) in 21 days. After 21 days, the level of ethylene will maintain 20 %Restrain throughout the ware season. - Page 14 Conditional start The Conditional start programme allows you to start the ethylene cycle on any day other than day one. Always contact Restrain for advice on which day you should start. Delayed start The Delayed start programme allows you to programme a start date in the future.
