Reliable N2-Blast DDX, Instructions For Installation, Operation Care And Maintenance

Page: 24 / 26

Air Intake Filter
The integrated air compressor, of the N2-Blast
®
FPS-
900-RS, has an air intake pre-filter. It prevents particles
from entering the compressor housing and damaging in-
ternal components. Replace this filter once per year or ev -
ery 1000 hours, whichever comes first. To do so, remove
the pre-compressor filter cap by twisting it clockwise. Re
-
move the old element and use a clean dry cloth to clean
the filter bowl before installing the new element.
Air Filter Replacement
The particulate and coalescing filters, after the air
compressor, are designed to capture particulate
and moisture prior to entering the rest of the system.
These filters need to be replaced once per year or every
1000 hours, whichever comes first.
Note: Annual Filter replacement kit part # FRP-007
Follow these instructions to replace filters:
1. Turn off the unit and remove the front cabinet door.
2. Locate the air filters on the bracket in the top-left of the
cabinet (see Figure 10).
3. Make sure the filters are completely depressurized by
checking the pressure gauge.
4. Remove both filter bowls by turning them counter-clock -
wise.
5. After removing the filter bowls, rinse debris out of the
bowls with warm water.
6. Dry the bowls with a clean dry cloth and replace old
O-rings with the ones in the kits and lubricate the seals.
7. Change the filter elements:
a. Particulate Element - Pull the plastic element hous-
ing out of the filter bowl. Twist off the black plastic
cover and pull off the particulate element. Install the
new element in
the reverse order.
b. Coalescing Element - Twist the coalescing element
counter-clockwise. Install the new element in the re-
verse order.
8. After replacing all elements and O-rings and cleaning
the bowls, install the bowls back to their corresponding
filter housings. Hand-tighten only.
After replacing the filters, check the filter bowls for leaks
by turning on the unit momentarily. Turn the unit off to re-
install the front cover and then power the unit back on.
Once powered up, the air compressor will turn on and the
system will start producing nitrogen.

FAQS
1. Power Issues
If the N2-Blast
®
FPS-900-RS does not have power, the
production and storage of nitrogen will
become apparent once the storage pressure drops.
•
Check the power cord.
• Has the building’s circuit breaker or GFCI tripped?
Locate the breaker and reset. If breaker continues to
trip, you may have that circuit overloaded.
2. Pressure Issues
The N2-Blast
®
FPS-900-RS will produce and store Nitro-
gen (N
2
) at 70 (+/-3) psig. Once the storage tank reach-
es 70 (+/-3) psig, the system will go into Standby Mode.
When the pressure drops by about 7-10 psig, the system
will go into Run Mode and begin to refill the storage tank.
Contact the manufacturer or factory trained technician if
system does not properly operate within these ranges
Nitrogen Pressure Check:
The pressure gauge on the storage tank should be
between 60 and 70 psig. If the
pressure is low, check the following:
• Check the power.
• Find out if fire protection system is being tested.
• Check for leaks throughout system.
3. Leaks
As with any gas system, only use a spray bottle on non-
electrical equipment to find leaks. Fix or replace leaking
fittings or old hose. Push-to-connect fittings will show bub
-
bles and typically have up to a 5ccm acceptable leakage
rate. Contact your local provider/installer for help.
