PRIOR TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION. These instructions must be thoroughly
read and understood before installing and operating this product. Any modification of
the product will void the warranty. Failure to operate this product in accordance with the
instructions set forth in this manual could jeopardize the safety of the operator.
If you have any questions or concerns, please call Technical Services Department at
800-343-4048, 8AM to 5PM Eastern Time (North America only). For other locations, please
contact your local representative. Send e-mail to: balstontechsupport@parker.com.
Do not use a hydrogen gas storage vessel in conjunction with the hydrogen generator.
Stored quantities of hydrogen pose an explosion hazard.
Normal precautions for any hydrogen supply should be taken when using the hydrogen
generator. DO NOT USE IN A SEALED OR UNVENTED ROOM.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME OR OTHER IGNITION SOURCE WITHIN
10 INCHES (25cm) OF THE OXYGEN VENT!
The Hydrogen Generator Model A915000JA-L1555 (see Figure 1), is a completely engineered
system designed to produce ultra-pure, dry hydrogen gas from deionized water using a Pro-
ton Exchange Membrane Cell. The hydrogen generator utilizes the principle of electrolytic
dissociation of water and hydrogen proton conduction through the membrane. The hydrogen
stream is dried using a coalescing filter, a drying tube, and desiccant. The outlet pressure of
the unit is 90 psig (6.2 barg) with a maximum hydrogen delivery flow rate of 160 cc/min for
Model 9150.
The hydrogen generators are ideal for use as fuel gas in Flame Ionization Detectors (FIDs),
Trace Hydrocarbon Analyzers, and other general laboratory equipment requiring a source of
pure hydrogen.
The 9150 Hydrogen Generator is certified to the electrical safety requirements as specified
by the IEC, CSA, and UL standards. These units bear both the CSA and UL markings on the
product label. Product supplied to Europe carries the CE mark (230 VAC units only). The

Page 2: Installation
Parker Balston Model 9150 Bulletin TI-A915000JA-L1555 Hydrogen Generator Installation General Note: All installation, operation and maintenance activities for the hydrogen generators should be performed by suitable personnel using reasonable care. The hydrogen generators are free-standing bench-top units. Do not suspend the genera- tor from the wall or ceiling. - Page 3 Parker Balston Model 9150 Bulletin TI-A915000JA-L1555 Hydrogen Generator Caution: Cell contamination is a cumulative and irreversible process, which will eventually cause an over-voltage, automatically shutting down the generator. The deionizer bags are for a final decontamina- tion stage and should not be used to purify low grade water.

Parker Balston Model 9150 Bulletin TI-A915000JA-L1555 Hydrogen Generator Controlled Venting After replacing any parts downstream from the generator, or upon initial startup, the system will need to be purged in order to achieve the final purity. To avoid contaminating the downstream equipment, the user should install a three way valve in-line, nearest to the equipment, and install a variable restrictor (such as a needle valve) on the outlet port of the generator. - Page 7 In order to maintain the warranty on the generator, ship the generator in a manner that Diagnostics The Parker Balston Model 9150 hydrogen generator has built-in system diagnostics to monitor the operation of the generator and alert the operator in case of failure. There is a Power Indicator light on the front panel of the generator to signal the operational status of the system (see Figure 10).
