If  the  unit  goes  back  into  “run”  mode,  the  leak  is  within  the 
cabinet. Check all the lines going to the blender and back to the 
tank. 

 
To find the leak within the cabinet: 

1.

 

Open the front cabinet door and locate the N2 storage tank. 

2.

 

Close off the output ball valve from the tank (upper ball valve on 
the red manifold). 

3.

 

Watch the exterior gauge above the cabinet for 60 seconds. If you 
see the pressure dropping, the leak is somewhere between the 
output ports, to the blender (if one is present), and back to the 
closed off ball valve on the tank. Fill and/or listen for leaks and 
fix them once found. If the pressure is not dropping go to the next 
step. 

4.

 

With the unit still running, close off the input ball valve to the tank 
(lower ball valve on the red manifold).  

5.

 

Within 5 minutes, the system should go into “Standby” Mode.  If 
it  doesn’t,  contact  your  local  provider/installer  for  further 
assistance. 

6.

 

Once in “Standby” mode, wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, the 
system should remain in “standby” mode. If it doesn’t, the leak is 
somewhere between the check valve and the output ball valve on 
the tank. 

7.

 

If  the  system  remains  in  standby,  contact  your  local 
provider/installer for further assistance. 
 

 

ACCESS CONTROLS 

Do not attempt to modify the program or the warranty will be voided. In case 
of the program failure, first attempt to cycle the power to the system. If that 
does not work, please contact your provider for further instructions. 

 

STARTING THE SYSTEM 

To start the system, turn on the power switch and make sure any valves to 
the gas lines are in the open position. 

 

STOPPING THE SYSTEM 

To stop the system, close off any valves on the gas lines. Powering down the 
system is not necessary. If emergency shut off is required, turn off the power 
switch on the side on the control panel.
