There are three diagnostic indicator lights and two digital pressure gauges on the Parker 

Balston Nitrogen Generator.

System Check LED (yellow)

 - The "System Check" LED indicator has two functions:  to signal 

system start-up mode or to signal low inlet pressure.  If the yellow "System Check" LED is 

blinking (once per 12 seconds), the generator is in its start-up mode.  If the "System Check" 

LED is solid, the inlet air pressure has dropped below 60 psig (4.1 barg).  In the event of low 

inlet pressure, the generator will also emit an audible beep to alert the operator of this condi-

tion.

System Ready  LED (green)

 - The "System Ready" LED indicator will illuminate when the 

generator has completed its warm-up phase and is ready to deliver UHP nitrogen to the down-

stream process or equipment.

Service System LED (yellow) 

- The "Service System" LED indicator also has two functions.  If 

the LED is blinking, it is time to replace the hydrocarbon catalyst module as part of the routine 

maintenance of the generator.  If the LED is solid, there may be a possible fault with the hydro-

carbon catalyst module heater (Model UHPN2-1100 only) or the electrical connections to it.  

This indicator light is inoperative in the Model HPN2-1100 generator

.

Inlet Pressure Display 

- The inlet pressure displays the pressure of the compressed air supply 

coming to the generator.

Receiver Pressure Display -

 The Receiver Pressure displays the pressure swing within the 

internal receiver tank.  This diagnostic display allows the operator to monitor the operation of 

the PSA tower and to determine if there is a possible leak or overflow condition (downstream) 

which could adversely affect the quality of the nitrogen supply.

All installation, operation, and maintenance activities for the Parker Balston Nitrogen Gen-

erator should be performed by suitable personnel using reasonable care.

Diagnostics

The Parker Balston Nitrogen Generator is a free-standing unit.  

Do not suspend the Nitrogen 

Generator from the wall or ceiling.  Its considerable weight could pose a falling hazard to 

personnel and equipment in its proximity.  Do not install the unit outdoors.  

When moving 

the generator, use proper equipment and lifting techniques.  Do not grasp the front panel 

when moving the generator.  Lift the generator by the metal case only.

Installation

Note: Nitrogen output should by pass the oxygen 

indicating trap during startup, until specified 

purity is achieved and lines are purged.
