Page 16: Sieve Bed Pressure Gauge
5.2.4 Sieve Bed Pressure Gauge Each unit is equipped with two sieve bed towers. At the top of each tower, there’s a pressure gauge to monitor the pressure changes in the beds throughout the cycle. These are used to help indicate if there’s any problem with the air going to each bed. -
Page 17: Filters
A plugged drain system will cause water and oil to carry over into the adsorber, which will cause permanent damage to the adsorbent. Such damage is not covered by the Manufacturer's Warranty. Use of filters other than those specified by South-Tek Systems could result in damages not covered by the warranty. -

Once the value drops below this number, the output relay (Output relay #5) will turn OFF. 5.4.2 Calibration Procedures From the home screen, press the menu button, then the sensor calibration button, which will take you to the first image seen in Figure 10. Hit the next button and then the 2 Point Calibration Menu and then select which device you would like to calibrate. - Page 20 If your N2 Generator model is <99.5% N2 content, you’ll have to calibrate by selection the “Max O2 % 2-Pt Calib” option. You’ll need at least one certified known gas in the 1% O2 Range. Apply that known gas to the O2 analyzer port found on the outside of most units on the right hand side (refer to your specific customer drawing illustration for the exact location).

Page 21: Principles Of Operation
6. PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION The Nitrogen Generator uses state of the art technology to provide the end user with a reliable source of nitrogen. An overview of the operation of the generator is given below. The Nitrogen Generator is a two-bed adsorber system. The Nitrogen Generator consists of two adsorber vessels filled with CMS, a valve assembly, air filters, main pressure regulator, and a product receiver tank. -
Page 22: Generator Operation
7. GENERATOR OPERATION This section describes the procedure for starting, running, and stopping the nitrogen generator. The operator should notify personnel in the area that the generator will be started and make sure the start-up will not interfere with any other operations. 7.1 Start-Up This section describes the necessary steps of both the initial start-up and a normal routine start-up. -
Page 23: Normal Start-Up
NOTE When the nitrogen generator is turned on for the first time or after a prolonged shutdown period, it is likely that the Product Receiver is full of air. Product purity can be increased by purging the Product Receiver to safe area / outside the building for approximately 15 minutes before using the product. 7.1.2 Normal Start-Up Follow this procedure to start the generator for normal operation. -
