6.2 Electrical supply
The BTG Modular operates at either 110V 60Hz or 220V 50Hz depending upon the
country. The BTG Modular must be connected to a supply system equipped with an
effective earth connection in accordance with the rules and provisions established by
law.
6.3 Gas tube Connections
In order to ensure that the BTG Modular performs correctly, it is necessary to
connect it to an inert and food grade certified gas source, typically Nitrogen or Argon
whose inlet is located on the back of the machine on the top.
To connect the pipe, push firmly into the joint. To check if correctly sealed, pull the
pipe back and secure the connection with a clip.
Use certified FOOD GRADE materials as well as the By
The Glass provided gas hoses for nitrogen (or argon)
connections.
6.4 Nitrogen (or Argon) Gas Supply
The use of Nitrogen or Argon gas has two purposes;
1.
To preserve wines from oxidation processes. Note: Once a bottle is placed
into the cabinet, gas does not automatically flow into the bottle. If you don’t
use the wine immediately or you don’t yet know when you will, just push the
enter button for a short period of time while holding a glass under the serving
spout. A little bit of wine will flow and then the bottle will be filled with gas
and the wine perfectly preserved.
2.
To dispense wines from the bottle to the glass.
Food Grade Nitrogen (or Argon) gas of greater than 99.5% purity must be used. This
is typically supplied as a compressed gas stored in cylinders, at high pressure. The
pressure varies between countries but it is typically between 100 and 200 Bar.
Alternatively a Nitrogen generator can be used.
The Nitrogen (or Argon) Gas cylinder must preferably be stored in a vertical position,
secured in a bottle holder and stored in a ventilated space. It must be connected to a
high-pressure regulator to reduce the pressure to 0,3 - 0,5 Bar.
