Standard gas system assembly requirements: → 2 pieces of 28 mm Wrenches → M2.5 hex screwdriver 3.2 Generator installation → UP series generators require oxygen from air for their operation, therefore generators shall be installed in the spaces with an adequate air flow. -
Page 13: Gas System Assembly
3.3 Gas system assembly Only applicable if the gas system is supplied by PowerUP or its official partners. To connect the regulator to the cylinder, two (2) number 28 wrenches are required. Please follow these instructions. 1. Inspect cylinder(s), regulator, hose and quick connector for any physical damage. -
Page 14: Gas System Connection
3.4 Gas system connection 1. Connect the connector-end of the hydrogen hose on the regulator assembly to the ‘Hydrogen Inlet’ port of the generator. 2. Push the connector onto the ‘Hydrogen Inlet’ port until a loud click is heard, which indicates that an airtight connection has been established. - Page 15 4. The regulator assembly has two gauges – one shows the pressure upstream of the regulator (= inside the cylinder) and the other one downstream of the regulator (= going into the generator). Check that the downstream pressure is between 0.36 and 0.56 barg. If it is not, adjust it by rotating the pin on top of the regulator very slowly.
