General safety Intended use of the Product The generator is exclusively intended for the production of Nitrogen gas from compressed air, which is free from bulk water, oil and solid matter constituents. The product should be sited within a building (see section 7.1 Site selection). The generator must be operated only in accordance with the data on the rating label and in accordance with the contractual conditions. Any operations that do not comply with those stated on the product rating label will render the warranty void.
Product Description The nitrogen generator operates 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. Compressed air enters the bottom of the ‘online’ bed and flows up through the CMS. Oxygen is preferentially adsorbed by the CMS, allowing nitrogen to pass through.
Product Contents GEN2 Series Nitrogen Generator Documentation • 1 x User Guide • 1 x Declaration of Conformity Packaging • 1 x Generator support base and box cover Packaging All products are securely packaged in a specifically designed wooden packing box. The nitrogen generator will be held in a horizontal position by wooden struts used to secure the product to the box base. The box top cover can be removed by removing the screws and lifted off in multiple pieces. Damage to Packaging Check immediately to establish whether damage has occurred to the external packaging and if the damage extends to the product inside. If there is damage to a product, contact the relevant supplier immediately.
4.2 Unpacking the Equipment The generator is supplied in a wooden crate. It is recommended that the crate be moved into position using a forklift truck or pallet truck. Remove the generator from the wooden crate using an overhead crane. Use the following illustrations for correct guidance on safe handling and lifting techniques.
Equipment Overview (GEN2 1110, 2110, 3110, 2130, 3130, 4130, 6130, 8130, 10130, 12130) All connection points are clearly marked on the generator and are represented in the diagram below. Air Inlet HMI Screen Sample Point ‘Dimension F’ Display (1/8” Port) (1”...
N2 Storage (Optional) (1 micron) (1) It is the customers responsibility to ensure pressure relief valves are fitted to the compressed air system. All vessels supplied by nano come with a pressure relief valves and pressure gauge as standard. (2) Buffer vessel is used for mixing nitrogen gas, this is not to be used as downdtream storage.
Site Location When selecting an installation site for the generator , ensure the following conditions are met: • The site should be located indoors on a flat surface protected from weather and other harmful conditions. • The ambient temperature must not drop below 41°F (+5°C) or exceed 122°F (+50°C). • The installation site should be level and able to support the weight of the product. • Ensure sufficient space around the product, we recomend atleast 1m around the generator to allow access for operation and maintenance. •...

Oxygen Analyzer Calibration (GEN2 1110, 2110, 3110) Ballvalve Ballvalve ‘A’ ‘B’ Gas From Nitrogen External Sample/ Generator Calibration Gas 1. Close ball valve ‘A’ (this will stop gas flowing from the generator to the oxygen analyzer). 2. Allow the oxygen analyzer process arrangement to depressurize before introducing the calibration gas. 3. Once depressurized (this will be shown on the pressure gauge), connect your calibration gas to the sample point located on the enclosure (page 9).

Sensor Calibration Procedure Press the Menu button ( Display should read E:1 Press the Enter button ( 250ml/m 7.25 psi (0.5 bar) Using the Next (increment) button ( ) and the Previous (decrement) button ( set the display to that of the calibration gas level. Press the Enter button ( ).
10. Maintenance Maintenance operations should only be carried out by authorized, competent and suitably trained personnel. • Maintenance operations only to be conducted when the system has been shut down, fully depressurized and isolated completely from the compressed gas and electrical supply. Beware a characteristic of the CMS could cause the vessel to repressurize slowly up to 2 barg.
11. Troubleshooting Problem Problem Caused Solution 1. Insufficient inlet pressure 1. Adjust inlet pressure settings. (check rating plate). 2. Electrical Fault 2. Ensure the power is on and the generator display panel is illuminated; check the generator is cycling correctly. 3. Moist or contaminated CMS 3. Eliminate the cause of contamination. Check external inlet filtration (inc. Water separator) for failed auto-drains or Poor N2 purity or...
12. Warranty All products are supplied with a 2 year manufacturer’s warranty from the date of purchase. The generator should be installed, operated and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines. Only genuine service parts should be used and no modifications made. For further information please contact your supplier. CMS is expected to operate for 10 years or more without issue when high purity air is supplied to it. The integral dryers have a similar life expectancy. Provided the inlet air quality is maintained, the CMS and AMT dryers are warranted for 2 year. Care must be taken with air supplied from an oil lubricated compressor to keep its operating temperature low to minimize oil vapor.
