  • Page 12: Unpacking, Handling And Installation

    MG1100 such as nitrogen and other inert gases, continue through the membrane and exit the membrane outlet manifold. After leaving the membrane outlet manifold the mainstream flows to the regulator. The pressure in the system is controlled using this regulator.
  • Page 13: Installation

    MG1100 B.3.4 Installation B.3.4.1 Location It is recommended that the nitrogen generation unit be located indoors in an ambient temperature range between 40 °F and 115 °F (5 °C and 45 °C). Should the application require that the unit be located outdoors, a shelter must be provided to protect the unit from direct sun light, rain, wind and ambient temperatures that fall outside of the temperature range listed above.

    MG1100 B.3.6.1 Operation and Maintenance Precautions for Compressed Gas Systems 1. Always handle compressed gas with care. Pressurized gas, particularly when directed at a person’s body or face, can cause serious injuries. 2. Do not use the unit discharge for breathing purposes. High purity nitrogen gas is toxic and severe injury or death can result.

    The HMI should then load into the main screen. Once on the main screen select “Start” to begin operating. 3. The MG1100 will now warm-up. Until the nitrogen gas reaches the purity level set on the oxygen monitor, the gas will be vented to the atmosphere. Thirty (30) seconds after reaching the required purity (96.5%), the gas will be supplied to the outlet fitting.
