1INTRODUCTION

PURPOSE

The N2-BLAST® FPS-650 and FPS-1250, provide an economical, precise

means of generating high purity

Nitrogen. Since air is comprised of ~79%

N2, the N2 Generator is a simple and cost-effective way to separate the N2

from the air. Nitrogen is an inert gas (non-combustible) and widely used in

thousands of industries along with Fire

Protection Systems. The N2 is

“generated” by means of the air compressor pushing air into the simple,

safe

filtering vessels, which in turn mechanically separates N2 molecules from

other molecules found within air.

**The installer and the user should read this manual in its entirety.

AUDIENCE

This manual is intended for Installer/Supervisory Staff and should be read in

its entirety prior to operation.

Please contact your local distributor provider for any operation and

maintenance first prior to contacting the manufacturer.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

All personnel (and their supervisors) installing, operating, and maintaining

the N2-BLAST® must read and fully understand this manual prior to

installing, operating or performing maintenance on the system.

The N2-BLAST® produces Nitrogen (N2) at a low flow rate, which quickly

dissipates into the air. N2 gas is not poisonous but the gas should not be

directly inhaled since in high concentrations it can cause

asphyxiation.

Ensure the unit is installed within a well-ventilated room, one that is not

sealed off from

normal living space air changes.

All personnel involved with installation, operations, and maintenance of the

N2-BLAST® must follow safe

working practices, OHSA, and local

health/safety code regulations during the installation, operation, and

maintenance of the unit.

Incorrect use can cause damage to the FPS-650 and FPS-1250 or can lead to

incorrect gas supply.

The FPS-650 and FPS-1250 produces Nitrogen (N2) at a low flow rate, which

quickly dissipates into the air. N2gas is not poisonous but it should not be

directly inhaled, since in high concentrations, they can cause asphyxiation.

Ensure that the unit is installed within a well-ventilated room, one that is not

sealed off from normal living space air changes.

Read carefully and act accordingly before installing, operating, or repairing

the unit.

Operator must use safe working practices and rules when operating

the nitrogen generator.

The owner is responsible for keeping the unit in safe operating

condition at all times.

Always use approved parts when performing maintenance and

repairs. Make sure that replacement parts meet or exceed the original

parts’ specification.

Only authorized, trained, and competent individuals can perform

installation, operation, maintenance, and repair.

Completely isolate incoming and outgoing pressures to the generator,

and make sure to depressurize the service/repair section prior to

performing any mechanical work, including changing the filters. The

nitrogen generator’s exhaust gas and/or any venting gas must be

vented to the outside or to a large, well-ventilated room to avoid

suffocation due to lack of oxygen.

Safety glasses should be worn if the cabinet door is open while the

machine is operating.

Use ear protection when the equipment is operating.

WARNING: Pressurized gases are contained within the generator, the

receiver, and product tanks. Pressurized gases are dangerous and may

cause injury or death if handled or used inappropriately.

Never allow pressurized gas to exhaust from an unsecured hose. An

unsecured hose may exhibit a whipping action, which can cause

serious injury. If a hose should burst during use, immediately close all

isolation valves if it is safe to do so and power down the unit.

3SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

KEY FEATURES

The FPS-650 and FPS-1250 key features include the following:

-Air compressor

-Air Filters

-Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)

-Pressure Swing Adsorption Beds

-Safety Relief Valves

-N2 Storage Tank

-Automatic Pressure Cut-in/Cut-out

-STS Patented Blast-Off (optional)

Air Compressor:

The air compressor is designed internally to the cabinet and features

engineered dampening system to reduce vibration and noise throughout the

cabinet. It is an oil-less compressor with a pre-filter attached to the air input.

The recommended replacement on the pre-filter is 1000 run hours or 1 year

(whichever comes first). Dirtier environments may be required to be changed

out more frequently. Consult your supplier for a different filter maintenance

schedule if you are installing the generator in dirty environment.

Air Filters:

The generator has two filters after the air compressor: the particulate and

coalescing. The Particulate has a 5-micron filter that will catch any of the

larger particles. The Coalescing has a 0.1-micron filter that will catch the

remaining smaller particles. Both filters feature and auto-drain that will drain

the water captured after the air compressor. The drain is plumbed to the

outside of the cabinet where the end-user can then connect ¼” tubing and

drain to a safe location.

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC):

There’s an integrated PLC within the cabinet. It features smart and efficient

coding to maximize the performance of the generator. It controls the timing

and sequencing of the valves to effectively move compressed gas

throughout the system. It also has a smart feature to automatically go into

different “modes” based on the current run stages. It comes with a visual

screen that will display run hours and alarms.

Safety Relief Valves:

Safety Relief Valves have been placed throughout the system for maximum

safety. They are designed and put in place to minimize failure of other

components. They all come with an ASME stamp.

N2 Storage Tank:

A N2 Storage Tank is housed inside the cabinet with manual ball valves and

gauge. It is plumbed to an external manual ball valve so that the end-user will

not have to do any plumbing within the cabinet.

Automatic Cut-In/Out:

The generator comes with a built-in pressure switch that is tied into the PLC.

This will provide a low voltage signal back to the PLC to put the system in a

“Standby Mode” when the tank is full of Nitrogen.

Patented Blast-Off Detection (optional):

The Blast-Off Leak Detection will provide the end-user with an alarm when it

detects characteristics of a leak somewhere on the system. It will trigger an

audible alarm, display it on the screen, and the end-user can tie into the dry

contact so that the alarm can be relayed back to the Building Management

System (BMS).

SYSTEM OPERATIONS

The system has two standard run modes –Run and Standby. When the

power switch is turned on, the controller will automatically determine which

mode to enter and will display the current run mode on the screen –“Run” in

Green and “StdbY” in Yellow. The layout of the controller can be seen on the

next page.

System Status

“Run” mode is when the FPS-650 and FPS-1250 is producing nitrogen and

feed it to the storage tank. The system will automatically enter “Standby”

mode when the tank is fully pressurized (65-75 psig). It will remain in

“Standby” mode until the tank pressure falls 7-10 psig.

Lock and Unlock Controller

To utilize the buttons on the front of the controller the unit must be unlocked.

If the system is displaying “LOCK” the Mode Select Button may be pressed

and held to unlock the controller (Repeat this step if a system lockout is

desired). Unlocking the controller allows access to two features:

Alarm Simulation (5) –Hold the Alarm Simulation Button for 3

seconds to activate. This will simulate an alarm condition and trip

the alarm dry contact in the unit (if installed) for 2 seconds so that

proper functioning can be confirmed.

Filter Change Reset (0) –When a new FRP (Filter Replacement Kit)

is installed, the 1000-hour filter change time must be reset. After

replacing the filter elements, press and hold the Filter Change Reset

Button for 7 seconds. An audible beep will confirm that the filter

change time and filter alarm are reset.
