1.0 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.)

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This unit has been specifically designed to provide protection against personal injury. To ensure contin-

ued protection observe the following:



DANGER:

Disconnect power to the unit before servicing while following all lock out/tag out procedures estab-

lished by the user. Verify power is off to the unit before any work is performed.

FAILURE TO DISCONNECT THE POWER COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH OR EQUIPMENT

DAMAGE.



CAUTION:

Always be sure to keep area around the unit clean and free of clutter. Failure to keep this area clean may

result in injury or equipment damage.

DO NOT STORE EXPLOSIVE SUBSTANCES SUCH AS AEROSOL CANS WITH A FLAMMABLE PROPELLANT IN

THIS APPLIANCE.

UNTRAINED AND UNAUTHORIZED INDIVIDUALS SHALL NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE OR PERFORM 

ANY CLEANING OR USER-MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES.

SHIPPING AND STORAGE



CAUTION:

Before shipping, storing, or relocating the unit, the unit must be sanitized and all sanitizing solution

must be drained from the system. A freezing ambient environment will cause residual sanitizing solution

or water remaining inside the unit to freeze resulting in damage to internal components.

MOUNTING IN OR ON A COUNTER



DANGER:

When installing the unit in or on a counter top, the counter must be able to support a weight in excess of

140 lbs. (63.5 kg.) to insure adequate support for the unit.

FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.

THE APPLIANCE MUST BE ORIENTED IN A VERTICAL POSITION.

Nitropro Mini Service Manual

2.0 OVERVIEW AND REQUIRED TOOLS

2.1 Nitropro Functions & Specifications

The Nitropro Mini dispenses still or air-injected,

chilled Nitro coffee at the pull of a tap handle.

Opening a tap automatically engages the product

mixing pump (as well as the air pump for the

injected-coffee selection). The dispensing unit

requires facility electrical and water inputs; Nitro

infusion gas is generated within the unit.

• Coffee syrup from a product container is auto-

matically mixed with water at the selected

ratio (with mix ratios user-selectable via a DIP

switch on the main control PCB)

• Nitro coffee is created via its dispensing circuit

including a gas-infusion (air-injection) mani-

fold prior to the tap (dispensing) valve

• Metering of the product concentrate is per-

formed by a servo-driven, peristaltic pump

• Water inlet rate is fixed and controlled by an

inlet solenoid valve assembly that also pro-

vides pressure limiting and flow control

• Chilling of the product cabinet and mix water

is performed by an automatically-controlled

ice bank at the base of the enclosure

2.0 BREWER OVERVIEW AND REQUIRED TOOLS (Cont.)

2.2 Key Components

The Nitropro Mini consists of these main controls

and components (refer to Figs. 2-1 and 2.2).

Dispensing Taps (for Still & Nitro Coffee)

Allow coffee dispensing. Pulling of tap

handle triggers switch that activates outlet

solenoid valve (in dispense manifold); also

turns on water inlet solenoid valve and

concentrate pump to initiate flow.

Ice Bank (Water Reservoir and Refrig. Unit)

Water/ice-filled reservoir for chiller lines.

Includes controller to manage refrigeration

compressor, bath agitator, circulation pump

and temperature/ice sensor.

Air Compressor & Storage Chamber

Provides air to the gas-infusion manifold.

Stores compressed air to support high drink

volumes. The compressor is independent

and is activated by the storage-chamber

pressure switch. Storage outlet routes to a

pressure regulator prior to entering the

infusion manifold.

Concentrate Pump

Meters input of coffee product from BIB

(Bag In Box) to mixing manifold. Peristaltic

pump, servo-motor driven.

Product-Mixing & Gas-Infusion Manifold

Interconnected plastic blocks with check

valves and a mixing chamber for mixing, air-

injecting and routing of coffee concentrate,

water and air to the dispense manifolds.

Three check valves control flow routing by

preventing backflow.

Dispense Manifolds

Tap-handle activated, outlet solenoid valve.

Outlet valve allows product dispensing.

Water-Inlet Solenoid Valve/Regulator

Solenoid valve allows water inlet.

Regulator limits inlet pressure & flow rate.

System Controller Board (Main PCB)

Manages system events and device

interactions. Includes adjustable DIP switch

for concentrate-pump ratio selection. Also

includes PCB switches for fine-tuning the

ratio selection.

24Vdc Power Supply

Provides power to Main PCB and the air

compressor.
