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 main-
tenance. The N2-Blast

®

 produces nitrogen (N

2

) at a low flow 

rate, which quickly dissipates into the air. N

2

 gas is not poison-

ous, but do not directly inhale since high concentrations can 
cause asphyxiation. Install the unit in a well-ventilated room 
that is not sealed off from normal living space air changes. 
All personnel involved with the installation, operations, and 
maintenance of the N2-Blast

®

 must follow safe working prac-

tices, including OHSA and local health/safety code regula-
tions.

Safety Guidelines

  The following section outlines the basic safety consider-
ations about installation and operation of the N2-Blast

®

 FPS-

900-RS. For other equipment used with the nitrogen genera-
tor, such as external air compressors, and dryers, refer to the 
manufacturer’s safety guidelines.
  Using the N2-Blast

®

 FPS-900-RS correctly is important 

for safety and trouble-free operation. Wrong use can cause 
damages to the system or can lead to incorrect gas supply. 
The nitrogen generator produces nitrogen at a low flow rate, 
which quickly dissipates into the air. Nitrogen is not poison-
ous, but do not directly inhaled, since high concentrations, 
can cause asphyxiation. Install the unit in a well-ventilated 
room, unsealed off from normal living space air changes.

Warning:

 Install the unit in a within a well-ventilated room, 

one that is not sealed off from normal living space air chang-
es.

 

Read carefully and act accordingly before operating or re-

pairing the unit:

• 

The operator must use safe working practices and 
rules when running the nitrogen generator.

• 

The owner is responsible for always keeping the unit 
in safe working conditions.

• 

Always use approved parts when performing mainte-
nance and repairs. Make sure that replacement parts 

meet or exceed the original parts’ specification.

• 

Only competent individuals, trained and authorized, 
can install, operate, perform maintenance and repair.

• 

Isolate incoming and outgoing pressures to the gen-
erator, and depressurize the service or repair section 
before performing any mechanical work, including 

changing the filters.

• 

Vent the nitrogen generator’s exhaust gas outside or 
to a large, well-ventilated room to avoid suffocation 
due to lack of oxygen.

• 

Wear safety glasses if the cabinet door is open while 
the machine is running.

• 

Use ear protection when the equipment is running.

NOTE: Always following local and site safety regulations 
in conjunction with this manual.  Correct use of the nitro-
gen generator is important for personal safety. Incorrect 
safety practices can cause damage to the individual and 
equipment.

 Follow safe working practices, OSHA, and local health and 
safety regulation when maintaining the N2-Blast

® 

FPS-900-RS.

Air Supply

 

The N2-Blast

®

 FPS-900-RS includes a built-in air compres-

sor to supply gas to the nitrogen generator. It is not for perform-

ing  quick  fills;  a  separate  suitable  air  compressor  should  be 
used to fill the system.
