nitrogen gas generator site location and installation 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. •...
nitrogen gas generator electrical installation Once in position, locate and remove the IEC plug from the side of the generator enclosure. Remove the back of the IEC plug and wire in your desired cable using the diagram below, we recommend using at least 0.75mm2 (20AWG) gauge cable although this will vary depending on the cable run length.
nitrogen gas generator remote start/stop control To use the remote start/stop feature, open the enclosure and locate the wire link marked as ‘RS’ on the PLC (see item No.1 for reference). Remove the wire link from terminal i0 and move it across to redundant terminal i6 (see item No. 2 for reference).
nitrogen gas generator remote alarms and dryer control Every nitrogen generator comes with three remote alarms as standard. In order to use the remote alarms, you are required to install an additional four wired connections. First, you must install a wired connection into terminal ‘COM3’ (see item No.1 for reference) this will be the voltage that is then relayed back to your equipment.
nitrogen gas generator user interface quick reference If you require further details of the user interface, contact your service provider for the additional operators manual. After 10 minutes of inactivity, the generators HMI will enter an energy saving mode where the HMI screen will go black.

nitrogen gas generator start-up procedure A visual inspection of the installation should be carried out ensuring all connections to and from the nitrogen generator are secure and there is no visible damage to any components. • Ensure that all isolation valves to and from the nitrogen generator are fully closed before operating. •...
nitrogen gas generator economy mode When under normal operation, the generator continuously monitors the nitrogen outlet pressure. When the outlet pressure reaches the pre-determined set-point for 5 minutes, the generator will automatically close the nitrogen outlet valve and stop supplying gas. This first stage is indicated by the solid green economy symbol. If the outlet pressure continues to remain equal to or greater than the pre-determined set-point for an additional 5 minutes, the generator will stop cycling and enter economy mode.
nitrogen gas generator maintenance Maintenance operations should only be conducted once the system has been shut down and is fully depressurized. All operations should be carried out by authorized and suitably trained personnel. • Isolate the generator from the compressed air and electrical supply ensuring the system is in a safe condition for maintenance to be carried out.
