10. 

The nitrogen storage tank will fill to 75±3 PSI, then the nitro

-

gen solenoid will close. The Nitrogen Solenoid light should 

now be off. See Figure 10.

13.  Using the installed petcock at the bottom of the air storage 

tank, relieve the pressure until the air compressor turns ON. 

The  air  compressor  should  turn  on  at  85±3  PSI.  Close  the 

petcock valve. See Figure 12.

14. 

The air compressor will run for 45 seconds. The air compres

-

sor will turn off at 105±3 PSI. If the unit takes longer than 

the prescribed time, or does not stop running when the unit 

reaches 105±3 PSI. Go to the 

Troubleshooting

 section, page 

21.

15. 

The nitrogen generator is now ready to fill the fire sprinkler 

11. 

The compressor will shut off at 105±3 PSI air storage tank 

pressure. This should take 10 minutes. See Figure 11.

12. 

Check all piping connections for leaks, as pre-plumbed pip
